Nek osebek¹ je na internetu objavil stvari, ki jih je ugotovil sam skozi svoje življenje. Nato so bralci, ki so prebrali njegovo objavo prav tako objavili podobne stvari, ki so jih sami ugotovili. Tako je nastal spisek t.i. “Things I Figured Out”. Po večini je spisek smešen in vsebuje očitne, goofy stvari, ampak vseeno je zanimivo branje, najde se pa tudi kakšna uporabna zadeva.

My mother used to tell me that when my kitty would bite me she was just giving me “love bites.” I am 30 now, and I finally realized about 4 months ago that this is not actually true. In fact, they are “stop bothering me you insufferable little hooligan” bites.

I discovered that pouring a glass slowly is more likely to result in dribbling than pouring quickly.

My mind was blown when I learned that a wet sponge will hold much more water than a dry sponge. This is because water molecules like to stick to each other. Or, more scientifically: “The water molecule forms an angle, with hydrogen atoms at the tips and oxygen at the vertex. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, the side of the molecule with the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge. A molecule with such a charge difference is called a dipole. The charge differences cause water molecules to be attracted to each other (the relatively positive areas being attracted to the relatively negative areas) and to other polar molecules. This attraction is known as hydrogen bonding, and explains many of the properties of water.”
