ACHOO syndrome is the best name for a syndrome ever.

 

[AprilRains]

I thought it was actually called "photic sneeze reflex".

It is, calling it ACHOO syndrome is the scholarly article version of shitposting.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I didn't know that coral reefs can live in deep water too.

 

[Francis E. Dec Esc.]

Theodore Roosevelt drank a gallon of black coffee a day.

 

[Pepito The Cat]

I learned that Hewlett-Packard pays good money to whomever manages to hack their state-of-the-art multifunction laser printers.

Also that the HP font makes your eyes hurt if you read too much of it.

Edit: And that black cheese is a thing now:

 

[AprilRains]

Some Thai mythology was based on anti-Dravidian propaganda.

Here's something I learned yesterday: The reason why there are two different Wi-Fi networks at our house is because one is for when you are right next to the router, the other one if you are not close to it at all.

Oversimplified but not UN-true.

 

[HeirenPlaya]

Negroes and humans can't coexist.

 

[BradyBunchFan]

Oversimplified but not UN-true.

Sorry.

 

[Pepito The Cat]

Sorry.

Please, don't! I liked that description. If someone asked me why there's two networks, I could ramble about frequencies and ranges for hours. usually that kills the party mood.

While Norway and Iceland do the same.

Never hear about that though.

Pazuzu, the demon that's famous for possessing Reagan in the Exorcist movie, is an actual ancient Babylonian Diety and is commonly depicted with a snake for a cock.

While it's uncertain where exactly the mythological Cerberus' name originates, it's actually believed that it's name comes from the proto-indo-European word kerberos, which means "spotted". That's right folks, the famous big scary hellhound that guards the land of the dead is literally named fucking spot.

 

[PantsFreeZone]

Reddit just passed Facebook to become the #3 most popular website.

Also, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

 

[Teri-Teri]

Superglue effectively closes wounds.

 

[Lysol]

I found out that prosciutto ham is cut from the hind leg, most often the thigh.

Superglue effectively closes wounds.

This is the kind of shit that makes me think that if aliens do exist, they want to stay as far away from us as possible.

 

[AnOminous]

Superglue effectively closes wounds.

I did that before I even learned it was a thing. Actually, there's medical grade cyanoacrylate too. Seriously, no kidding, if you have some bloody but dumb minor injury just put some superglue on it, problem solved.

Thanks, Life Hacks!
