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

Jump

  • For me it's not like I don't like music, but there are large stretches of time, where I do not care so much for it. I would guess that I haven't actively choosen to hear music for weaks, possibly months, now. Obviously excluding the music you can't avoid, like background music in movies and video games etc.

    • Conservatives have already written a climate plan for Trump’s second term

    Jump

  • And their chances with this are relatively high. Their voters only care for owning the lobs and hurting people that are not white christians.

    • Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint

    • What movie did you rewatch most often?

    Jump

  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

    It is somehow my goto "comfort"-movie

    • What are some "new" rights you'd like to see countries commit to?

    Jump

  • I absolutely agree when the person has an incurable physical illness, but I'm unsure where to draw the boundary for people with psychological illnesses.

    • What series did you rewatch most often?

    Jump

  • Futurama, Scrubs but if it counts, then number 1 would be the first 6 or so seasons of The Simpsons.

    • How some people afford to travel around the world for months without working?

    Jump

  • You don't have to be super rich or be a trust-fund baby to travel around the world for months. I find the general estimates for a more frugal world-traveling for a year are $20.000 to $30.000. This is obviously not doable if you really live paycheck to paycheck, but if you have a relatively well-paying job and live very frugal it is not impossible to save this amount of money. Also there is the more irresponsible solution of taking on debt.

    • Is therapy worthwhile?

    Jump

  • I unfortunately can't tell you how to find a therapist, because I am not from the US, but to the question if it is worth it:

    Absolutely! For me it is still one of the best decisions I took in my life and it helped me so much in fighting my my depression and anxiety.

    • People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?

    Jump

  • Every contract is legally binding in Germany, even verbal contracts or in this case price tags (to some degree).

    This seems to be contrary to what I can find. A price tag is not a contract but an "invitatio ad offerendum" so an invitation for the customer to make an offer at the checkout. Then a contract is created when the cashier accepts this price after scanning it and matching it with the price in their system. Therefore it's not the price tag that counts but the price in the cash register. I could be wrong or the law has changed in the last 1-2 years, but I found this information here (sorry they are all in german):
