There are some life facts that you may think everyone else also knows… but they actually don’t. Redditor U/pocketcrackers was curious about this and recently asked, "What fact is common knowledge in your field, but almost unknown to the rest of the population?" Here’s what people had to say.
- "People almost always try to exit through the same door they entered. In a crowded venue, ALWAYS take a second to find your exit, and then find a second exit. Mark them in your brain just in case. In an emergency, most of the crowd is going to go for the main door they came in through. Knowing where another exit is can save your life."
- "If you have sad vegetables — like carrots, celery, or lettuce — that look wilted but haven't gone bad, you can make them crunchy by shocking them in ice water."
- "An elevator will go up to the top of the hoist instead of crash to the floor in most catastrophic failures, due to the counter weights."
- "Cement and concrete are not the same thing. Cement is the main ingredient in concrete, but concrete is the whole mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, water, etc."
- "When you're taking Imodium, you're actually taking an opioid — but it's designed to only interact with the opioid receptors in your digestive tract to slow down your intestines."
- "Styrofoam is a brand name. The material is polystyrene foam."
- "Bed bugs don’t make you a nasty person with a nasty home. An infestation isn’t due to a sanitation issue. They’re an imported pest, which means they hitched a ride on something you brought into the house. Usually luggage or furniture."
