What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

  • That's just another name for the save icon.

  • It gets better. The size of the SD card isn't the storage area. Look carefully at the back of an SD card and you should see how a tiny square area in the middle is a bit 'thicker' than the rest; that's the actual chip, that tiny bump!

    • What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?

  • Without those two I may have never gotten into english that well.

    FTFY. Not a dig, just correcting your already very good English.

  • But it's only trucks that have to slow down, and my truck - like most modern trucks - has an 'L' classification for Austria, which stands for 'Lärmarm' which translates to 'Quiet'.

  • 120mph? What? The fuck?

    Humans aren't designed to react to things at that speed.

  • Noise concerns is a joke. I drive a truck in Germany. In many villages and some areas of towns/cities, trucks are to drive at 30 kph instead of 50 kph at night to reduce noise levels. The joke is, when I drive at 30, the truck is in a lower gear than at 50, making more noise, passing more slowly (noise duration longer) and putting out a higher volume of CO2 for the duration.

    Cars with fart cans and motorbikes with their loud exhausts are way louder than my truck could ever be driving those roads - at any speed.

  • But if religion goes, then all the religious holidays go too. Where I live (North-Rhine Westfalia, Germany), that's 8 days less off every year! I'm an atheist myself, but I do enjoy the time off.

    • It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.

  • The trick is to ask them their name. If they reply "Smith", then you say "Yes I know it's Smith, but it seems I can't recall your first name", so he says "John". Or if he says his complete name straight away, you say "Yes I knew it was John, it was the Smith I couldn't remember"

    Bingo, you have their complete name. Works the other way round too.
