I was today years old when I found out...

Did you ever get that feeling of knowing something, and when you go to double-check, you were blatantly wrong? Yup, we know the feeling too. Thinking that something is a certain way, and then, not only is the other way around, it also does a mid-air pirouette just so you are in awe.

We know there's still a lot for us to discover, and in this slogging thread, you can find some random facts that we discovered the real truth later than we expected

This Slogging thread by Sara Pinto, IC, Jack Boreham, Mónica Freitas, Teri Eyenike, Limarc Ambalina and Abeer occurred in slogging's official #random channel, and has been edited for readability.

Let's share some knowledge: I was today years old when I found out...

Sara PintoDec 22, 2021, 6:42 PM

Turns out olives are a fruit and not a vegetable, who knew...

ICDec 22, 2021, 7:32 PM

Surfing as much as possible and making as much money as possible.

Jack BorehamDec 23, 2021, 1:16 PM

I was 23 years old (my current age) when I found out I didn't like lego anymore 😂

Sara PintoDec 23, 2021, 2:00 PM

IC Did you realize that recently? Haha

Sara PintoDec 23, 2021, 2:05 PM

Jack Boreham I did not expect that! How did you find out? Hahaha

Mónica FreitasDec 23, 2021, 3:41 PM

Sara Pinto So, I found out that I've been saying persimmon in portuguese wrong all my life.

Mónica FreitasDec 23, 2021, 3:44 PM

Also, people born in 2004 will become adults in 2022. I am shocked!

Sara PintoDec 23, 2021, 4:32 PM

Mónica Freitas How have you been saying it? 😂

Sara PintoDec 23, 2021, 4:43 PM

Mónica Freitas Oof, that hit me like a truck, I was today years old when I found out that they're not 10 anymore haha

Mónica FreitasDec 27, 2021, 3:15 PM

Sara Pinto so, I've always said "dióspíro" instead of "dióspiro". Emphasis on the second i.

Mónica FreitasDec 27, 2021, 3:17 PM

Sara Pinto They don't even remember the EURO 2004, I can't! I missed the days when Nelly Furtado sang our euro song.

Sara PintoDec 27, 2021, 4:24 PM

Mónica Freitas Not remembering the icon Nelly Furtado is serious

Mónica FreitasDec 28, 2021, 11:40 AM

Sara Pinto A crime really

Limarc Ambalina Abeer Teri Eyenike Daniel Guzman What's something you found out quite recently?

Teri EyenikeJan 7, 2022, 1:06 PM

Streaming is not the same as webinars. I was shocked when I found out Sara Pinto

Limarc AmbalinaJan 10, 2022, 7:25 AM

I think I was 18 when I find out that business is not spelt buisness and that the amount of “busy” you are is spelt busyness

Limarc AmbalinaJan 10, 2022, 7:25 AM

I was also like 21 when I heard about the Berenstein Bears conspiracy lol https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/news/a32934/the-berenstein-berenstain-bears-conspiracy-theory/

AbeerJan 10, 2022, 1:37 PM

Sara Pinto Here’s a weird thing I found out recently: The guy who designed the Pringles can was buried in a Pringles can… yup. Do what you want with that valuable information 😅

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 3:31 PM

Teri Eyenike Can you explain the difference?

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 3:36 PM

Limarc Ambalina Holy haha I was not aware of the "busyness". English can be very tricky, especially when you know other languages. I have a tendency to mix them all 😅

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 3:40 PM

Limarc Ambalina Oh I grew up with that cartoon! I always thought it was The Berenstein Bears! Is this one of those cases of the Mandela Effect?

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 3:42 PM

Abeer Wow, I don't even know what to say haha. But I respect it, this is what I call commitment haha

Teri EyenikeJan 10, 2022, 3:48 PM

For streaming, you can get real-time stats of your users as they watch, e.g. Twitch. And webinar doesn't give you the extra details that streaming provides.

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 3:55 PM

Teri Eyenike Oh, ok, makes total sense! Thank you!
