    Threads where people find out they’re allergic to something or colorblind are my favorite. I’m always amazed that people can live their whole lives just accepting something because they don’t know any different and haven’t talked to anyone about it.

    Seeing someone go “wait, strawberries aren’t spicy??” or “you guys are joking right? those images look the same!” always makes my day.

      This one can be attributed to my Dad (who died before I found out). He gave me a banana when I was little, and I said, “I don’t like how these burn.”

      He said, “Oh, that’s normal. Eat it anyway. It’s good for you.”

      …so we know what side of the family I got it from.
