Reddit, what are some simple yet very important things that children learn in school but many parents don't know? Mine involved probably saving our house.

I usually just pull up my shirt collar and sneeze into it.

Second base out of four?

No, sadly. That would require hyperflexible shoulders, not elbows.

My elbows hyperextend by about 35°. It freaks people out sometimes.

Do you find that people avoid addressing you by name? There's a pair of identical twins at my school (I still can't reliably tell them apart, even after 6 years of having known them), and whenever I run into one of them I usually just say "Hey" instead of "Hey, [name]" because I'm afraid I'll say the wrong name.

Cranking the lever on a paper towel dispenser in a public bathroom. The edge of my pinkie got caught between the lever and the plastic casing. A whole chunk of flesh got ripped off.

So I guess if you'd spent 0 hours on it you would have gotten a 100.

As a TA: We're not out to get you! Sometimes students take it as a personal affront if we give them a bad grade. (I'm TAing a science course, so subjective grading isn't an issue.)

I got hit on by a fellow competitor at a math competition once. He pulled out his smartphone and read off from a list of mathy pickup lines. (Like "I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.") Worst part was, he actually read the <3 at the end of one of them as "less than three."

Once when I was doing an organic chemistry problem, I couldn't figure out what the nucleophile was. Turns out it was the ethanol solvent.

I Am Not a Biologist, but I think your body still absorbs all the alcohol, just slower and over a longer period of time. Same as if you spaced out your drinks a bit more.

Any evidence I could post would be anecdotal, sorry. I doubt there have been any scientific studies done on the effect of peanut butter on alcohol absorption.
