EVERYDAY’S A SCHOOL day; that’s the long and fecking short of it.
But there are some learning curves you’ll remember for all the wrong reasons, and that’s because there’s a high chance you’ve been in the dark for a really, really long time.
Or worse, had the entire thing arseways all along.
Don’t worry though; we’ve all had those revelatory moments when you realise your life has been a lie.
Whether it’s song lyrics, general knowledge or the pronunciation of a word, Twitter is here to remind you that no matter how obvious it might have seemed to everyone else, you probably weren’t alone in your ignorance.
Name something obvious to most people that you didn’t figure out until recently. Me: The little arrow next to the gas icon on a car dashboard tells you what side the tank is on.
In a thread entitled Life Hacks for Dummies, you’re among friends – friends of questionable intellect, but friends none the less.

That the ‘st’, ‘nd’, ‘rd’, ‘th’ that we put after 1, 2, 3, 4, etc is from first, second, third, fourth. I mean, it’s obvious now that I’ve thought about it, I just had never though about it before.
Until I was 30, I though the expression was “trying to make ends meat.” Like, “ends meat” was a really cheap type of meat that very poor people could afford.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the ABC song are the same. Also, Old MacDonald and BINGO. My brain use to be for important things. I have a toddler now.

People are confessing to things they figured out a lot later than the rest of the world

So, let’s get stuck right in.
1. Look, she’s never really thought about it before.
2. How often does anyone use it anyway?
3. Look, it left a lot of us shook, to be fair.
4. Excuse us?
5. Hard liquer… and soft drinks.
6. A buzz down at the bargain butcher.
7. Look, we’re not ones to judge but…
8. Be honest, did you actually know?
9. You definitely didn’t cop it the first time.
10. We all remember the first time we learned this, right?
11. Wait now, what?!
12. Ah, here.
13. If you didn’t know, you’re welcome.
14. Well, did you know this?
15. Sure look, it’s never too late to learn.
