What is something you have never truly wrapped your head around?

How people navigate complex 3D spaces. I get lost all the time. Thankfully cars come with GPS navigation nowadays which was a godsend to me.

Yet when I drove in the late 90s in the US, I'd get lost so horribly that I'd take over an hour to get somewhere that should only take 15 minutes, having to stop and ask for directions repeatedly.

Me: Could you tell me how to get to this address?
Person: All right, you see, you go 4 blocks that a way, then make a left, then on the second intersection, make a right, then you head 6 blocks, then [...]
Me: Oh, thank you!

I didn't want to be rude and tell them I forgot everything except turn left and right but also I didn't remember how many blocks.

My wife actually understands how I think and she draws me a map and tells me like, "When you see this sign that reads this, turn right." That's so much easier! I just look for the sign and remember to turn right. But most people talk in terms of distance and space and that confuses the hell out of me.

Also I gave up playing most FPS games like Quake even though I was decent at aiming because I'd get stuck on one level for like 3 hours going all over the place asking, "Where the hell am I supposed to go?" Like I cleared out the whole map and I can't figure out where I'm supposed to go now and in a video game, I can't ask someone where to go even to get the directions I will immediately forget.

Earth's moves at a speed of 30km/s or 67,000 miles per hour for you Americans.

Our galaxy stretches for 100,000 light years, meaning it would take 100,000 years moving at the speed of light to travel the length of the milky way.

The closest galaxy to us is 25,000 light years away from ours.

And the farthest known galaxy to us is 13.5 billion light years away from our galaxy.

And lastly, the universe is approximately 93 billion light years in diameter.

We are unfathomly small. In the universe, we are less than specks of dust. It is absolutely ignorant to believe that we are alone in the universe.

And the funniest part is... apparently we know more about the universe than we know about our own ocean.

[Siri137]

Well... actually...

I've yet to come across anything at all I couldn't eventually understand, given time and effort on my part.

I know that's a disappointing answer, but... oh, actually, there is one thing. Flat Earthers! I mean, are they for real? Or is this nothing more than one giant, humungous troll, the greatest in round Earth's history?

Why isn't the North Pole a continent?

What sick delusions do people really have to be under to put pineapple on pizza? Or deny that Die Hard is a Christmas movie?

Why did Buzz Lightyear drop whenever Andy was around, despite being convinced of his being a real space ranger?

[Siri137]

HEY! Take back that blasphemy! Pineapple is the best thing to go onto pizzas since pizzas were first thought of, all those years ago whenever.

[BCRanger10]

@Siri137 Pineapple. On. Pizza. Is. EVIL!

[Siri137]

So what do you prefer instead? Don't say jalapenos or anchovies!

[BCRanger10]

@Siri137 what truly belongs on pizza. Pepperoni and sausage. And bacon too.

if any one thing had gone wrong on Apollo 13 they wouldn't have made it

if any one thing had gone right on Titanic, they all would have survived

Shipment is made by vehicle. Cargo is transported by a ship.

You drive on a parkway but park in a driveway.

And if you had hot water, why would you possibly need a hot water heater?

[MemeSupreme]

people who speed up to get into your lane and GO SLOW AS FUCK

[A_Bell]

That the universe and everything in it once didn't exist or it must have existed forever.

Either thought gives me panic attacks if I think too deeply about it.

[Genie23]

How can some people dare to have maggi instant noodles with pav (kind of round bread). They used pav like chapati/naan to put noodles in it like a dish...

[ProbablyClueless]

I have never and will never understand how so many people will tell you to do something and then get mad at you for doing what they told you to do.

[ChicoFromThe305]

That the sun is white not yellow, which I guess would mean our sun is a white dwarf which is the last stage before the star explodes 💀

[Massageman]

Astronomically speaking, in essence, it is a perfectly normal example of a G-type main-sequence star (G2V, aka. “yellow dwarf”). From a perceived light standpoint, it appears more white.

[ChicoFromThe305]

All I know it's that in outer space we would see it white lol

[LaurenM1997]

What? The sun isn’t yellow am I missing something 🤔

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope, it's white, I think from what I heard is that the light reflecting off our atmosphere makes it look yellow or something like that lol

[LaurenM1997]

Wow I’ve learned something new cause I never knew that 😮

[ChicoFromThe305]

I had an argument with someone believing I was certain that it was yellow until I searched it lol

[LaurenM1997]

I searched it too and found out the same as you and I was shocked

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lmao I liked it better yellow

[jahaims]

People that can't follow something logical from point A to point B.
