  • I'm 31, and consider myself a 2000's kid. I grew up with Fairly Odd Parents, GBA, and PS2, among others. I guess I don't put much stock into my life before age 6; I moved to Canada when I was 5 and have already forgotten much of my native language or what life was like back there.

  • Tesla cars also have notoriously poor build quality, especially for the price; if you must buy an electric car, at this point, as far as I can tell, Hyundai cars are much better built. (Of course, we do need to remember that electric cars do not solve the problem of car dependency.)

  • In summary, there is this belief in South Korea that if you leave an electric fan on in a closed room overnight, it can kill you, supposedly by asphyxiation or hypothermia. There is not really a basis for this theory in reality, and it seems that younger Koreans are less likely to believe this theory.

    Now that I think about it more, perhaps my next Halloween costume should be a Grim Reaper costume with a fan on my face.

  • When you think about it, the idea of Pokémon saying their own name isn't actually that unrealistic: a lot of animals are named after the sound they make. Peewees, warblers, howler monkeys, kookaburras, hummingbirds, and I believe the ancient Egyptian word for "cat" is "mau".

  • There is a burger chain in Canada called The Burger's Priest, which is a religion-themed chain with several religious references on the walls. I only ever visited one when I did DoorDash and was picking up a customer's order, so I don't know how good they are.

  • Suit pants are nice, as are the shirts, but the jackets are frankly quite stupid. Plus, you have to take into account the fact that a well-fitted suit is only guaranteed to be well-fitted at the moment it comes from the tailor.

    What bizarre situations have you found yourself in because you couldn't say no?
