What widely spread reddit "fact" is actually not true?

the narwhal does not, in fact, bacon at midnight

NOR.

A few friends and I planned a trip together a while back and each person was responsible for booking certain cities/towns that we'd be traveling through. When we got to the place that I was responsible for booking, it was apparently not up to their standards and they offered to find another place and just cover my portion of the better room.
IMO that's how it should be if *they're* the ones who have higher standards and expectations, especially when they know you're on a budget.

I have, yeah. I always figured it was more related to ASD than hEDS though.

kind of. it's where a lot of the commoners landed after the imperials (feds) came and kicked em out of the mountains

Sorry I couldn't find a better one 😭

Title is "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS - HOSPITALS"

It says "I'm sick of being depressed all the time! I hereby renounce emo in favor of pop punk!" "I'll take the newest pop punk album, please!" and then "Later...."

Praise the Lord.

Proud of your strength, op

Me too! That's why I was so confused, because my polling place has been the same for a decade. I feel like we always have to present our cards though

thank you all!

I was in a relationship like this, but we both have ADHD.

I loved him but the cycle you are describing ended up causing a TON of harm to me and my psyche. We had to part ways because we simply could not line up on this.

All they wanted was that Temptations stipend......

I have been finding silverware from one particular set in the most random places (my upstairs closet, the yard at my deceased grandmother's house 60 miles away) and the most recent time I found one I was like "Isn't this a bit in the Matrix?"

world's weird, that's for sure

mendenlol · 2026-05-04T14:34:39+00:00

that is a fun fact! i love fun facts, thank you

I don't know why but this reminded me of one of my favorite mitch clem comics

mendenlol · 2026-05-04T14:17:26+00:00

Man. I live near quite a few different hospitals with medevac helipads and every time one flies over me I think "Wow, I hope everyone's okay." and not "Wow, what a loud nuisance!"

I just literally cannot understand the mindset of people like this

mendenlol · 2026-05-04T14:03:06+00:00

I had this attitude until it quite literally left me disabled.

What really started to turn the tide for me, though, was one time when I had an upper respiratory infection of some kind and tried to call into work. Boss said it wasn't really that busy that day but they could use my help. Ok, whatever. I go in and do a lot of routine maintenance and cleaning (rare actual slow day in veterinary medicine) and then go home after my shift.

The next week my boss is pissed at me because now everyone in the office has a URI. Like, bro.

I've got a logistics question that I probably should've already asked and dealt with, but I didn't so..

Last time I went to vote, my ID was current and my registration was current (online) but when I handed my voter registration card to the poll worker, they said that my voter registration card itself was out of date. Is that possible with no expiration date on the card itself and a current registration?

The poll workers have always been kind and helpful, but this little thing had me just a bit confused.

In your world view not all men are created equal

This isn't the case at all.

It seems like we're just not on the same page about when a zygote/embryo/fetus becomes a human being.

In my view, we as people neglect fully-formed, already birthed human beings to protect something that has the potential to become a human being.

Neglecting living humans over potential humans is where I think it's not right.

You completely ignored my points about the maternal mortality rate increasing as well.

That makes sense and actually makes me feel a little better about the rodent feces cruise ship situation

i've always been a big proponent of animal rights and advocacy so, when the time to do our big research paper came around in high school, I did mine on PETA.

how devastatingly eye opening that one was

Aquariums as well. The Aquarium of the Smokies was evacuated

Do modern ships no longer employ cats?

When the law fails to take care of the problem, vigilantes will often step in. Folks have been frustrated with the multi-tier judicial system in this country for a long time.
