When I was a kid I couldn’t understand how Jesus was able to age 33 years between Christmas and Easter. I only managed to get through one term of school and he lived a whole 33 years?
It made me very sad for him that his whole life only lasted three to four months… but also I was excited about chocolate.
Then I realised.
That’s not how dates work.
Jesus got his full 33 years and I’m an idiot… but I still got chocolate.
Anywho, my point is people can be unbelievably stupid.
We’ve all had moments when we’ve realised something very, very simple and then wondered how the heck we’ve actually been getting through life all this time.
That’s why a Twitter thread about the very topic is so goddamn hilarious.
Jon Stone, a Europe Correspondent at the Independent, asked people to share the really obvious things they didn’t realise until embarrassingly late in their lives.
And the people delivered.
Yep. People are great.

Took me until about 7 or 8 y/o to realise that hair grows from the scalp not from the ends of one's existing hair strands....it only clicked when someone was complaining about their split ends and I wondered why the 'fresh hair' would come out split and broken.
I blew my 30something colleagues mind when I said that my overseas trip included a visit to city of Alberquerque - he thought it was a made up location in Road Runner cartoons!
My mind was blown recently when I was shared the news that some of my relatives didn’t ‘believe’ in evolution!!
