I told a young lady that Super Bowl is a bowling event. That's why it's called super bowl. After she said her family only watched football, I told her they were missing the bowling and to ask them to put it on next time.

In june 2009 a study was run by an university in Schein, Germany, meant to better understand relationships. Married couples were asked to do several simple tasks and questioned about their spouses. While at the time the results didn't show anything significant, years later an interesting correlation was observed by one of the people orignally working on the project. Among other things, participants were presented with a knife and a block of cheese and asked to cut "a slice" of it for their spouse, which was then measured. Here's the interesting part. As of february 2020, 59 of the 147 couple sample were divorced or separated - 41 of which were couples that, in the cheese test, were in the lower half of the results. Does that mean a lot of cheese can strengthen your love? Probably not, but official statement from the university about the implications of that correlation is yet to be made

As revelead in 2017 by a retired NASA employee nothing new was actually discovered about Pluto. None of the definitions have changed, there was no reason for the reclassification other than the government pressuring NASA to announce a success since most major breaktroughs since the moon landing were achieved by Roscosmos.

SO, I discovered Reddit today... yes I’m late 🤯 but this seems like an adult tumblr? Agree to disagree or just plain agree?

This happened a few years ago.

As a coworker and I were tidying up the store we worked at, he got to a display of body sprays and asked me, "So why do the plastic caps on bottles like these always go missing? Like, who is stealing just plastic caps?" He laughed.

Deadpan, I told him, "Oh, I take those. I superglue them together and paint them to make voodoo dolls, then hang them with floss from Command hooks from my ceiling to help ward off evil spirits."

He of course thought I was 100% serious and 100% scary. I tried to tell him it was a joke but he said I delivered it "too easily" for it to have been made up on the spot.

So with the help of my other coworkers and my boss (who all found it hilarious), anytime anyone found stray plastic product caps of various sizes, they would give them to me. The joke took place around October, and by Christmas I had gathered enough caps to present my coworker with a superglued and painted plastic cap version of himself complete with tinfoil glasses that looked just like his, and of course floss and a Command hook.

He was just as scared that Christmas as he was when I first "told" him about the dolls.

This was due to the belief that cocoa, brought to Europe by Columbus was rich in iron. Only in 1882 when it was proven to be false Ferrero Rocher rebranded into a sweet

*Ferrerum means iron in latin which was much more popular then). Rocher is just it's creator's surname

My father-in-law likes to bullshit people just for fun and keep it going to see how long he can string them along (all in good fun. Not in a malicious way).

On of my favorite stories was that he told a guy he worked with that after his vasectomy, his nuts would shrink a little each year. And that currently (this was years ago now since he told this story) they were like tiny beads. holds up thumb and finger with very small space between them

His coworker believed it and would bring it up again after a few weeks to see if it was actually true.

He told him it was and kept the guy going another few years until he left the job. To this day, he’s never directly told him he was messing with him.
