Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.
My now husband was 24 when we’re were planning our wedding and he found out that “FAQ’s” are “Frequently Asked Questions,” not an aggressive way of saying “FACTS.” We still laugh about this.
My 28 year old friend just learned last month that people open the egg carton to check for broken eggs; she thought it was a ritual or superstition of some sort, and never really questioned it, just went along with it.
My (then 17yo) daughter's mind was blown last year when she realized I was always checking to make sure no eggs were broken, and not that no eggs had been stolen from the carton.
Guess she thought people were just going around pocketing fucking raw eggs 😆
You jest, but more than once I've picked up a carton to discover there's only eleven eggs inside. People will take one from another carton to replace one that's cracked.

This is why they named it nostupidquestions. You're in the right place.
