Well-known obvious facts that a lot of people are ignorant of

It’s usually pretty subtle, for example, this one points to the left.

Here’s one that points to the right.

I’m gonna have to put a big “I doubt that” on this one.
If my spices contained sand, I’d be crunching it between my teeth.

Stop buying your spices at the Dollar Store.

If you put a plane on a treadmill…

Sometimes it’s not an arrow, it’s a little picture of a pump. My car is a recent model and has the little pump.

Ms. Cups’ car has this feature. Mine doesn’t.

I think it’s about a 50/50 thing. You just must be really lucky. I recommend Vegas

IME, people know it’s from animals, but they apparently think it’s keratin, not collagen - they insist it’s made of hooves, not hides and bones.

I just checked my spice cupboard. The cumin, paprika, and chili powder all had sand in them. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and mustard didn’t say.

Where the hell do you shop? Arrakis?

It’s sad that at 7:30 in the morning I know I’ve already had the best moment of my day.

Stop putting your spices in your old hourglasses, you silly divinity!

I just googled “sand spice” and Dr Oz was the one to discuss this, along with human hair in bread.

No thanks.

Huh? My phones have always defaulted to wifi when available. I know this because when my wifi is up but the internet goes down, my phone stubbornly refuses to use the (working) mobile connection unless I go in and explicitly turn off wife. All of my smartphones have been like this.

Dr. Oz is an idiot.
