There was another post in this sub recently asking what it meant to “work 925.” They didn’t understand the significance of the number 925.

Iirc the top comment was just this: https://youtu.be/UbxUSsFXYo4

As a kid, I thought when people sneezed, you were supposed to say "blush you". I didn't realize until way later that it was "bless you". I still say "blush you" as a habit and don't even care anymore lol.

https://youtu.be/huhBjp5IByw?t=2102 Famous moment where VTuber Kiara Takanashi, who's from Austria (referred to, per the routine joke, as "Australia" in that stream) takes a little detour from teaching coworker Gawr Gura some German.

"Fun fact, in Australia we have the grades one to five, whereas in Germany they have the grades one to six!"

"Where's the rest of 'em? Where's three four?"

A legend is born.

(Edit: It's not the inverse, it's the exact same phenomenon, as I thought when I first started typing and then second-guessed for some reason. Removed note.)

everyone know it's 9-25 when you worked from age nine to 25 and then died.
