What's that one little thing you've learned in the last 6 months?

[PureChaos]

I learnt how memory works in a Biology lesson, just last week in fact.

Spoiler: If you're interested...

When you learn something, two brain cells link together. Unless damaged, that link never breaks; you never forget anything.
Every time you relearn or revise that thing, the bond grows stronger and stronger, hence why you remember it better.
If you talk about whatever that thing was you learned, that link goes to some oral receptor thingy, making the bond even stronger, making you remember it better still.

That was a really vague explanation. Sorry about that.
I have a feeling it's not even true, it's just a ploy to get us to revise. Interesting to me, either way.

sounds a bit fishy to me, nice idea but there's something about it that made me think 'nah'.

OT: i learned that people can have seizures without moving at all

That the girl I liked was a man.

Hasn't been the best six months, admittedly.

Is there supposed to be a really big problem in that?

That's true. They're neural pathways. Every time the corresponding information is used, the pathways become more used, electrical signals traveling through said pathways travels faster than previously, thus making it easier for us to recall that information. That's why repetition is one of the best ways for us to learn new information.

Six Flags gets its name from the six different flags that have flown over Texas during its history.

Apart from me being straight?

Apart from me being straight?

I don't get it, is this a "this girl I found attractive wasn't a girl at all," or "this girl I liked was a tranny" ..?

That latter really shouldn't bother you if that's the case.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

That when I like somebody who I'm pretty sure likes me back, I shouldn't agonize over it and pick it apart.

Also, ginger ale's a lifesaver when out sweeping breeze ways.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Love hurts. But I've learned to focus on the good parts instead of the lows.

 

[Skorpyo]

Brake Fluid + Eyeball = Infinite Pain.

 

[Phantom_IEC]

That using a near whisper can be as effective/ more effective than raising your voice...

As can talking slowly.
it's almost disturbing how useful it is.

As a teacher these are the kind of things I have to use so that I don't lose control. If you shout you've lost the room...

 

[Je Suis Ubermonkey]

That it is possible to read 1609 pages of webcomic in one day and want more at the end. Lots more. I got from page 1 to 575 'having a look to see if it's any good'.

It's very good.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

That I have somehow become more popular in my social life by simply walking out of my front door and meeting people... also I have learnt binary.

 

[YouBecame]

I've learn't that it was never going to work out between me and my ex-. After all, I'm a Sagittarius, and she's a *****.

What I've actually learnt is a concept called Object Orientated programming, which is quite an important concept in programming .

 

[Danielsmells]

I learned how to make pasta!

 

[Gardenia]

I learned that you can make brownies in the microwave, which in turn led me to the realization that I needed to buy a microwave oven.

 

[BritishWeather]

Democracy is a total shitting failure.
