With a friend of mine at University. We were out in the pub and I had mentioned that my then girlfriend had the painters in, he looked shocked and the like a puppy dog, I asked what was up, he said his girlfriend will have her period as well. He assumed girls had them at same time, when I pushed on this, he said yes but they have talked to each other so they will be having at same time…

I said yes they talked once about 3 weeks ago for 10 minutes (bumped into each other I street), he said yes that all it takes. I’m just pleased we were alone in the pub, the girls would have really took the piss.

Someone said thunder is the sound of clouds bumping into each other, I said no it's the sound of the lightning. Then a different person who was also there asked me then how does lightning happen? I said it's because the friction of hot and cold air moving around electrons get lost and gained on some of the atoms and that creates a charge and that charge has to unload itself. Then she said so it is because of the air bumping into each other then and I was like ok, I didn't wanna argue about it anymore. But it was a weird ass conversation I felt like I was in a different world or something XD

Still-alive · Answer

Well the other day a guy on here blamed feminism on why women get a lot of 'privileges' in today's word specifically in the dating scene... and i had to explain to him that in order for women to receive said privileges there had to be people to give them aka dudes. and also that him as a man does not actually have to partake in giving women free drinks at a bar or whatever. i explained that he could in fact say no to that practice and still be able to ask her out or talk to her. I haven't gotten a reply back to that but i have a feeling he won't listen to this.

That girls don't pee out of their tushy, they actually have a urethra, in front, that they pee out of. It's just easier and less messy for them to sit and urinate. He actually thought they sat to pee because it came out of their tushies! He was 25 years old. I actually thought he was bullied shitting but no, he was serious. I didn't pick on him for it, because I don't know what kind of upbringing he had but DAMN!

That the earth is indeed a sphere (technically an ellipsoid), and not flat. I didn't know that any adult actually believed the earth was flat; it was a bit of a shock. However, they were not convinced by my responses... It's pretty impossible when every authority, professional, expert, airline pilot, etc. is suspected of wide-ranging conspiracy. The Dunning-Kruger effect is impressive at times.

I got to talking to a realtor about the weather. He thought that summer was caused by the Earth being closer to the sun during that half of the year. I explained that it's caused by the tilt of the Earth and that we're actually farther from the sun when the northern hemisphere is in summer. He still doesn't believe me.
