Color has an incredible effect on you mood, your perception, and your likes and dislikes. It’s programmed into you, and you really have little to say about it. Your reptilian brain is the part of you that is programmed to survive

if you are single and want a woman to be attracted to you, wear blue. It has an affect on her mind related to honesty and trust in a man. And if a woman want so submit to a man (in his reptilian mind), she will find that wearing black portrays that to the male

Yellow is a color children avoid because it is like sunlight to the reptilian mind and that is bad

I used to mispronounce grand prix and a lot of French words. Didn't know the x was silent. WTF France what is the point in a ****ing silent x.

Found out earlier this year that irregardless wasn't a real word when I tried to use it in my MSc chemistry thesis.

When I was really young I thought the vagina was located at the same point a dudes cock starts. It's lower than you think.

I was just about to eat a banana when i saw this, did it this way. Made celebratory monkey noises

When I was really young I thought everyone in America was left handed cause of the simpsons

[Lunatic]

Sean Connery wore a wig in all his bond movies

His wig in The Hunt For Red October...... $20,000(look it up if you don't believe me)

[anonymous]

The banana thing irritates me. I've peeled it this way my whole life and no one showed me how (in fact my parents did it the "old way" until I awared them).. doesn't it just look like the easier end to start on? why does everyone think its proper to start at the hard knobby end with the stem.

Anyway, IDK if this counts as common knowledge but there are a TON of myths I hear constantly that bug me. So, the following are NOT true:
-you eat 7 spiders in your sleep a lifetime
-daddy long legs spider is the most poisonous in the world but its fangs can't pierce your skin
-touching a baby bird/other baby animals will make the mother reject it
-420 is police code for marijuana
-lsd is stored in your spine and released when you crack your back

... if you google half of these, they aren't true.



EDIT: didn't know what wtf was up with CUT on microsoft word and ****. It just deleted my ****.

I live in Louisiana. Growing up NO ONE drank tea, so it was kinda new to me when I went to a private school in 8th grade and they had it.

Its really so you can get your nail in to create leverage to open the can and the side effect is it is large enough to fit a straw in.

Any drill will go through aluminum. Standard drills are high speed steel, cobalt, and carbide, any of which cleanly pass through aluminum provided there is enough speed. Aluminum cutting is done at high speeds and fairly high feeds. Are you sure you weren't trying to drill titanium? They feel very similar in weight, but titanium is much tougher.

I'm not sure brah. I'm confident it was Aluminium. I did manage to drill holes using


But that took so much effort, one of the bits snapped etc

But I used these bad boys


and it was like going through butter.
