Mine is that I pour the milk before the cereal. people are always extremely confused by that.
I eat kiwis with the peel
Australians are next
Of course not, thatโs where most of the fibre is found. Iโd avoid the beak though.
I open bananas by pinching the bottom instead of ripping at the top (because it works better) and people act like Iโm insane.
That is how apes open bananas too.
Not that Iโm implying anything of course.
As someone who also has to argue about how wrong everyone else isโฆ
I always tell them to imagine the iconic โslipping on a banana peelโ joke. Sometimes I make them draw it.
If you peel from the stem, it would never look like that. We have so many references that I challenge anyone to show me any media from any time period that shows the banana opened from the stem.
People learn the stem way as children because itโs easier with limited motor skills and just never give it up.
I looked into this and was unable to find quality evidence of such. I also open my bananas from the bananus
In a hand yes. In a tree itโs the bottom
Edit; No, I was wrong. Stick part always down
Incorrect, bananas grow from the stem upwards making the stem end, where most people open them, the bottom, OP opens their bananas from the other end.
How does this work with that nasty little stump at the bottom of the banana? (Which everybody knows is pure poisonโฆ TIL: AKA the โbananusโ)
Easy to discard or no?
Yeah, itโs easy to discard if a little bananus bothers you. But I ainโt aโfeared.
Also, Iโm usually making smoothies so itโs not much of a concern.
Pro Tip: another advantage of peeling the gorilla-approved way is that you donโt have to separate them when peeling multiple. I usually eat a couple one-offs while the bunch is ripe and then, before the rest get brown and mushy, peel the rest to freeze for smoothies or banana bread or whatever. You can just peel several from the bananus side and save the step of separating them.
I worked in a restaurant that served Bananas Foster so thatโs actually a pro tip. You may never have to quickly peel a whole bunch at once but cooks, busy parents, smoothie artisans, etc. frequently do.
I set my clocks on 24 hour time. Usually gets a comment when they see it.
Started doing this since my very first watch. 24 hours in a day, why cut it in half? What is 12am or 12pm idk which is afternoon or midnight
I finally managed to learn am/pm after working with brits for years, but every time they said โafter midnight, past middayโ as if it made it easier to remember, I just responded with โafter midday, past midnightโ
TIL people have to learn how to count the 24 hours in a day as 24 rather than 12x2.
My job uses 24h/UTC time a lot. Love the 24h time, everything I can set to it that I use is on that format. Canโt set the coffee machine or microwave to 24h time.
UTC? Hate it. Too much math that changes with the time change and your time zone to get to UTC. Thankfully wearables and phones will often let you have multiple clocks visible.
waiting in line when there are self checkouts available. I just dont like doing it.
abandoning self checkouts because the machine is yelling at you and the workers are busy elsewhere. they say self-checkout lane 7 is still blinking to this day.
When eating pizza at a restaurant with a fork and a knife I start cutting bite size triangles from the center of the pizza, itโs pure chaos and people lose their mind when they see me haha
