that most kinds of mushrooms should be kept in the freezer. As well as keeping them fresh, freezing mushrooms is supposed to make them taste better.

That apparently I did what was one of the earliest forms of hacking a video game at 12 years old when I put my NES Zapper up so close to the TV while playing Duck Hunt I never missed a single duck.

that my friend didn't know that his pet bird was female, which even I knew.

There was a member of Steppenwolf who had a singing voice very similar to that of Ray Davies of The Kinks.

that fish is not necessarily healthy food

I can't save a mouse from the fate of a glue pad no matter how hard I try.

Some of the nicest people in the world can still support the most hate-filled and ignorant people in the world.

I learned today about a poroniec - that there was such a malicious demon in the Slavic mythology - I mean, I did know previously about such a belief but it was today when I learned some more about it

That it's not going to cool down any time soon.

that apricots may cause cancer

that there are refrigerators that can also work as an oven.

To have a sense of humour about my problems, no matter how unsettling they may be.

My theme song is no longer 'I'm Not Like Everybody Else' by The Kinks.

that there are still cases of dodgy sharing of needles in some hospitals/clinics, which result in their patients catching serious viruses such as hepatitis etc.

Some people are pricks and they expect me to deal with things the way that everybody else in North America can.

Allulose is completely useless as a sweetener.

I've known my body doesn't recognize it as sweet, but I'm running out of sucralose, so I used a whole tablespoon of allulose in my yogurt. Yogurt, cream, vanilla, peanut butter and allulose. It didn't taste like peanut butter pie, like it does when sweetened with sucralose. It didn't taste like anything. It neutralized the taste of all the ingredients I put in it. I added another tablespoon, and it didn't change a thing. It tasted exactly as it did with one tablespoon.

Completely useless. Now in the trash can.
