What I Learned This Week - 11/7/25

2. Until the 1930’s, golf irons were not numbered and had names that sounded like scottish slurs. #Niblicks #Jibbers #LookItUp
3. No matter how much I prep and train my dogs, they will never understand daylight saving time. #TheCatDoesntCare
4. The best part of daylight saving time is the extra hour each night I have to get up and pee. #OldGuyIsms
5. I missed the memo that all Thanksgiving themed decorations and household items are only sold in September and are now limited to clearance items if available at all. #WTF
6. Apparently, the eternal pursuit of wisdom is now known as “doomscrolling”. #maybe
7. I like the concept that Australians are just British Texans. #Kinda
8. According to a coworker, the existence of “penis envy” indicates there are six other deadly penis sins. #ICanNameThree
9. The older I get, the more I believe that the melted cheese-pull is more obnoxious than it is an indicator of tasty-cheesy-goodiness. #DontNeedThreeFeetOfCheese #ExceptMozzarellaSticks
10. I don’t know why stores have so many checkout lanes when only one quarter of them are ever used and it seems like they could use that space to move more things that I can’t find. #Seriously

12. I don’t know why THC edibles are only small candy items and not major food items like hot dogs and hamburgers to get ahead of the munchies. #maybe
13. Ohio State University scientists turned shitake mushrooms into functional living computers and I have so many questions on how many different mushrooms they ate to start this journey.  #Dude
14. Apparently “emergency chicken sandwich” is a labeled thing as the item was handed to to me by a coworker that saw that I was stranded in my office on a conference call for 5 hours. #TurnedCameraOffToLaugh #SuperTasty
15. It never occurred to me that the 1962 song, “Monster Mash” was about sex and not dancing. #eww
16. I had to explain to a coworker that the initialisms WTF, FTW, and TFW were not rearranged versions of WTF and actually different phrases…and he’s 29. #IReadThemTheSameWay
17. The existence of the ice cream sandwich indicates there should be the existence of an ice cream hoagie/hero/sub. #GoogleIsSilient
18. I don’t know why the Range Rover, in front of me in stopped traffic, had a retractable roof top mounted landing pad with a surveillance drone that he launched and landed but now I want one. #OrTwo #DJIFTW
19. Expired Halloween candy is always better than fresh kale. #SorryKale
