This is absolutely necessary for anyone born before ~1985. I have so many “random facts” memorized from pre-internet days, and many of them have turned out to be half-right hearsay or straight up incorrect when faced with fact-checking.
Your tongue does not use different parts to taste different things. They taught that shit at school, they had infographics and everything. Also food pyramid is false, carrots do not improve night vision and you most certainly use nearly all of your brain, though i will concede that MAGAs may be only using 10%. I use arch btw.
Later I would hear the carrot thing was a cover story for British radar in WW2.
Yeah, i'm not even mad about that one. Incredible OPSEC and propaganda.
