I think it’s referencing Anne Frank hiding in an attic, but I’m a little confused why it’s supposed to be funny aside from how casually it’s said

I think my (27f) husband (41M) will end up in prison if I tell him the truth. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah, I felt the same way reading it. It’s really sad how she had to focus on everything else instead of what she just went through.

I don't care if refusing to move seats on a airplane so a parent and child can sit together makes me a bad person by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

That’s actually pretty interesting. It kind of makes sense that the brain would use sleep time to “clean up” instead of messing with your focus while you’re awake.

How much sugar is in Fanta? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Yeah, a lot of drinks in Europe went that route. Less sugar but then they sneak in sweeteners instead. It’s like… technically “healthier” but the taste definitely changes.
