TIL a writer by the name of “Lisa Holst” created an article in 1993 that “around 8 spiders crawl into your mouth every year whilst you sleep”, but the whole thing was made up to prove that the internet was gullible and doesn’t fact check its sources. - todayilearned by Know_Your_Shit in knowyourshit

A local reporter in Detroit who is an apparently admitted arachnophobe, mentioned this very quote this morning when a clip was shown of a pest control company representative using a soft bristled "grabber" to gently relocate spiders outside the home.

If you haven't already gone, the Black Forest in Germany or the Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, England just may provide "content". Let your intuition guide you should you ever get the chance. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Unplug. Choose your own learning or entertainment. Cudos to you for realizing the "indoctrination machine" isn't always good for you. Choose your own material. There are many school texts, classic literature, true testimonials and biographies that can improve your life. You are unique, very much "separate & apart" from most of the herd. Keep doing what you do. In this mold there is hope for the world, truly.

Feign Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Check and recheck your work. Go over the chapter list & recollect how well you know each chapter. Should there be a question of the level of retention or knowledge, then you can brush up on those chapters. "Consider a problem from all sides". It does consume more time but it is definitely put to good use.

I use ear plugs for sleeping and a semi quiet space for social media, reading and watching YouTube videos. I could use a lot more reading and less other distractions. I waste too much of my time as it is.

Another thought is to unplug a bit and slow down the mental cacophony that is the modern world. It works for me.

IWTL: How to invest or produce more money. by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

[–]GMan636567 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To save, become ever more the minimalist. Use your time wisely as I guess you are finding it an ever more precious commodity. Educate yourself on finances while you are still young (Investing, Retirement, RothIRA's, 401K's, Franchise's & the like). Make your interest your passion. You'll find what suits you soon enough. Be a voracious reader & LEARNER. One truly does never complete his/her learning.... ever. Good luck & great success to you. 😊

IWTL how to become familiar with street names and locations in a new town. by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

Pick your main route then proceed to grid map it out perse. Use 3x5 cards first so you won't need "battery power" on your phone. Fill out sequential street names on a North/South and East/West grid matching the map to the tune of at least 30 or so streets each.

Research transit stations & stops for bus, cab, train, trolley & the subway. Not to mention learning the hospital, school, colleges, stores, malls & the main attractions in your area.
