    Dumbest thing I believed as a kid... my friend convinced me that the hazard button in a car was used for self-destruct, hence the "hazard" flashing lights... I believed that for a long damn time... and I still sometimes look at the knobby thing warily. lol

    14:04 I think one of my aunts once said of my uncle that "boys will always like playing with toys, it's just the size and the price of the toys that will evolve as the boy grows older". She was right about that for my uncle, as he was fiddling with a new boat he bought. I still think of it sometimes when I look at my research director just juggling tennis balls while I ask him questions about the intricacies of a seven-digit-priced microscope he added to his lab. Complete with Lego Star Wars characters and pieces scattered in the microscopy room for 'decoration'.

      You know why the millionaires are like that? The billionaires convinced them that the people trying to climb their way up to being millionaires will make being a millionaire look bad and would probably de-millionaire them on the way up. That way, the millionaires and sub-millionaires are busy being at odds with each other and can't team up to threaten the status of the billionaires.

    fun fact: we do actually have taste buds in our intestines. they're wired up differently so we don't actually taste from them consciously but they are used to detect possible food poisoning possibly and they the reason sometimes u just void your digestive system when u eat something bad that tastes good. it's a defense mechanism

    The “what makes women unattractive” one..
    needing attention.
    They’re like “my boyfriends been at the store for 15 minutes, I need someone to talk to!” Or “me and my bf are fighting, tell me how you feel about me” like stfu. They just want someone to tell them nice things and then they’ll carry on their merry way. I have met too many people like this over the course of my life. Now? I’ll just tell them whatever crazy over-the-top thing they want to hear and then dip. Idc. I’ll be like “oh I’ve been inlove with you for 26 years, talk to you later though!” And then never reply again 🤣🤣 because I have to have my simple pleasures too.

    What's stopping me from being a millionaire is the health of my grandmother's business partner. As he's in rehab after a heart attack. And when my grandmother eventually gets the money she needs I'll get some of it, then invest into real estate for a passive form of income & also buy and sell stocks to make money.

    Last question: Not unattractive, but less attractive, if they lose weight. After all, the gravitational force between the 2 of you is decreased as their mass goes down. You can, however, counteract this by gaining weight yourself.

    I've spent $120 on my truck. It's a 1st gen Toyota Tundra so almost nothing on it breaks, except for the 5 years of neglect from my dad. The only thing that isn't OEM stock on it is a cold air intake because the engine is getting older and less efficient, so I have to make it more efficient.

    True story! (Or rather, my dad says it's true, so who really knows at this point?)
    When my dad was in the Navy, he was answering the phones in his shop in an "unprofessional manner." He was saying things like "Welcome to Pizza Hut, can I take your order?" Stuff like that. CO (Commanding Officer, highest rank and in charge of the whole ship, usually rank Captain or higher) calls him for whatever reason and gets that joke answer.
    CO: Do you know who I am?!
    Dad: ...No.
    CO: I'm the CO! You're in so much trouble **miscellaneous officer threats and swearing**
    Dad: SIR!! Do YOU know who I AM??!
    CO: ...No?
    Dad: Good. **Hangs up.**

    What's stopping me from becoming a millionaire? Honestly, lack of motivation. I am fortunate enough to have a roof over my head and enough food to eat, I have clothes and shoes for warm and cold weather. I can also treat myself to an occasional takeaway or day out. I'm grateful for what I have now, because there have been times when I didn't have enough to eat or a secure home.
