If you stood from far enough away... Your height could be measured as a height equal to the small side of a right angle triangle with an acute angle of 6 minutes 10 seconds
@@srboromir452 you would need to factor in the distance they were away as well as the angle for it to be a height measurement

My Russian friend quizzed me on vocabulary to prepare me for our next Russian lesson after the break. A guy named Jason sat opposite to us and repeated every word I said, sometimes with literally the same pronunciation.
We asked him what he was doing and he chuckled “You're pronouncing it weird“.
My friend who quizzed me was Russian (born and raised) and she knew full well everything I said was fine, no strange accent or anything, and she would have corrected me if I said it wrong.
Jason said that his parents speak Russian at home but he himself can't speak it but he knows I'm wrong. He can't even speak it but tried to “correct“ me.
What a jerk.
Oh i had one guy try to tell me that us Aussies pronounce the word Data as Dayta the exact same way as Americans do mind you we say dahtah (i know these are spelt wrong it's just the pronunciation) despite the fact i have lived here in Australia ALL my life

My art teacher tried to convince me that the sun was the largest star in the universe.
Oh wow I come Back to check this and it had blown up! Thanks for the 3k likes
Good thing that person is an art teacher and not a science teacher.
The sun is not the largest star, it's just the closest so it appears to be the largest and brightest star from our perspective.
That said I'd think even an art teacher should understand how objects can appear larger or smaller based on distance since that's a fairly common art project that every art teacher I've ever had has gotten me to do. I don't know why I had to learn that three different times from three different teachers when it's a fairly basic thing I learned in kindergarten but once she retired the new art teacher did the same assignment when I was in in like fifth grade and then another teacher did it again when I was a freshman in High School.
@@RialVestro You need to vent bro?
I don't want to sound rude but, it's an art teacher. I would just say "yeup" and do whatever s/he thinks I have to do to "prove" that I've "learned" and aprove the fucking class.
(Vent)
Some art teachers think they are right about anything for having a degree in one of the most subjetives things you can learn. Sure they are rules about perspective, shape and how to add lights and shadows but there's plenty of artist and idiots who get popular and they don't need anything of that to succed

I go to college in Kentucky and I took Astronomy 135 this semester at my college and one of the questions in my lab class was "if it's 10am in Kentucky, what time is it in Anchorage, Alaska?" answered 6am, because the Alaska timezone is 4 hours behind the East Coast timezone. My lab professor marks me wrong, saying that timezones are every 15° longitude and that Anchorage is 5 hours behind. I explain that Alaska merged into one timezone in 1983 after years of the state being split into 2 seperate timezones made it a major pain for everyone trying to communicate with anyone inside or outside of the state. He insisted that I was still wrong and that to this day Anchorage is 5 hours behind the east coast.
I was born in Anchorage and lived there for 20 years before being accepted and attending this college. I know this isn't technically a profession, but I'd like to assume I'm an expert at knowing what time it is in my home state and town.

I was diagnosed with JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) when I was 18 months old and struggled with it my entire life. I've encountered many people who tell me I'm mistaken and arthritis is something only old people get. For those who don't know, JRA is an autoimmune disease, so it basically goes
Immune system freaks out, thinking body is sick > attacks anything it sees as a threat, which is joint tissue in this case > build up of fluid and scar tissue in joints. Another fantastic symptom was getting absolutely fucked by simple illness. Mom actually figured out something was very wrong when I ran a fever of 106° because of a simple ear infection... when I was 18 months old. So that was fun.
Anyway, I have had a lot of people say arthritis is just a thing for old people, and/or i was overreacting to being sick for attention. To which I would usually respond with "oh yeah, definitely faking the disease that requires I drink a chemo drug/get a shot in my ass once a week." (Took liquid methotrexate till about 2nd grade, got prescribed Enbrel injections around same time but also took methotrexate in pill form till.... 10th grade, I think?)
It was really annoying and hurtful bc I wasn't faking shit and growing up that way was hell. Thankfully, 23 years later, I am off my medication, and have been declared in TOTAL remission! My rheumatologist said she had only ever heard of it happening, but it was ridiculously rare and she'd never seen it happen before. I fukin beat that shit into the dirt HELL FUCKIN YEAAAAHHH!!!!!
congrats !
Congratulations! I wish this were possible for everyone in your condition.

I'm not an expert, but a girl in my geography class once said Canada was in Europe, next to Sweden.

To be fair, some definitions of religion do include atheism. Just not the common ones.
To be fair, some definitions of religion do include atheism. Just not the common ones.
Atheism is a religion as much as being asexual is a sexuality.
My most basic definition of religion: Believing in a god or gods
My very basic definition of atheism: Not believing in a god or gods
I wouldn’t classify it as a religion. The only requirement for being an atheist is not believing in a god. Meanwhile, a lot of religions require more dedication than saying “I believe”
Oh ho, this happen to me once.
I was an Ancient History major and in the middle of a Masters degree in Secondary Education.
I have a guy try to tell me that the Bible _"not once mentions Lot's wife becoming a pillar of salt."_
So I go into my bedroom, pull out my trusty multi-faith, multi-language, multi-version, multi-tonne biblical encyclopedia, and practically read him the entirety of Genesis.
Then I talk about the *_real-world_* Mount Sodom in Israel, which feature a pillar named "Lot's Wife", and is comprised of halite (commonly known as *ROCK SALT)*
Then he tries to change the subject .... by arguing about the chemical composition of halite.
Which was even funnier .... since I was a nurse before being a teacher, and had a whole stack of chemistry textbooks lying around.
It was a good day!
That's awsome!
Being diabetic, ive spent my high school years correcting people by revealing that I am not "allergic to sugar".
You know, a compound REQUIRED for human survival
Adults or other classmates? Super sad if it was the adults saying that to you.
Is it actually required though?
Bill Buck the body burns sugar for fuel. Even when in ketosis, your body breaks down the fats into sugars to be utilized. I’m not talking of refined white sugar.
Yes. All 3 calorie classes are required. Sugars (aka carbs), fats, and amino acids that make proteins.
@@foxbearchillinbytheriver only the glycerol (5-6% of a triglyceride) is used in construction of glucose, the fatty acids go straight to the krebs cycle. The brain only uses glucose and ketones, so during starvation it's best to have big muscles which can be converted into glucose, rather than lots of fat.

I have an engineering degree in solar renewable energy. When I was doing my apprenticeship the installer I was learning from did a battery bank over a hundred meters from the house it was suppose to supply.
I found it weird because all my teachers and text books said the system had to be relatively close or the amperage could fry the inverter. I told them so and they called me an idiot.
I felt like a fool and installed the system with them, thinking my knowledge didn't work in the field. Lo' and behold a week later the inverter is fried and the client is pissed. We replaced the damn inverter two more times before they called an experienced engineer buddy.
I laughed right at their face when he told me we had to reinstall the battery bank and panels closer to the house.
Am i understanding it correctly that you had the battery bank the inverter and the panels far from the house, and the inverter could not push AC across that distance?

The lighting protection one is kinda funny because lighting protection code in the US is basically just industry bro-science and almost none of it is based on actual research. People who actually research lightning know that a lot of it is just complete bullshit that companies get lobbied in to sell products that won't actually work. The problem is lightning research is hard and not that well funded so there isn't enough evidence/resources to get the code fixed. (I'm getting my PhD in physics researching lighting.)
As a related story, my research group has some big underground Faraday cages we use when doing rocket triggered lightning. They sit right next to the rocket pad so you can be close enough to control the rocket but still be safe from the lighting.

Having pedigreed papers doesn’t make someone a better reader. Especially with the internet, anyone could learn anything they wanted. With this, college is just an ongoing scam trying to convince people that professors have so,e hidden knowledge you can only access by paying ungodly amounts of money to get a piece of paper that proves you read about said topic.
Someone corrected me when I stated how something made me feel. Like excuse me, but who do you think you are? I may not know much about a lot of things, but I definitely know how things make me feel.
That's fucking stupid. Some people think everybody feels and thinks the same as they do.
Another one is people who try and explain WHY you felt a certain emotion in a way that makes you seem like an imbecile. "You see, the only reason you hated it was because you were excited for it and made yourself disappointed." "You see, the only reason you hated it was because you convinced yourself you wouldn't like it beforehand." Two polar opposite assumptions, yet I've heard both.

Electronic music producer here. I make hybrid cinematic/experimental/dubstep music. Here are some of the things I get a lot, in order from least to most annoying:
"So basically you're a DJ?" (DJs mix and transition playlists, they don't actually create songs)
"How do you have the time for that?" from people who have attempted electronic music, and "Why don't you release music more often?" (They sort of answer each other. I don't release music often because of academics taking up free time, and I do still have time because I love making music and spend all of my free time making it).
"Making electronic music is effortless!" (It's actually harder than using solely acoustic instruments - Not only must I make and perform all the melodies, I also have to make most of the sounds).
"You're not a real musician" (I've played classical piano for nine years and trumpet for three. I arrange my music using a weighted 88 key keyboard. If that doesn't make me a musician, what does?).
"It's just noise, though!" (This one is the worst, and also unfortunately the most commen. With experimental sound design, it can take hours just to get a few sounds made, and they'ree usually meticulously constructed to sound exactly the way the do. And even for the happy accidents, how many people know how to modulate grain density with an LFO attenuated by a cycling envelope, or how to get the frequency modulation at just the right ratio and proportion to make it sound like a violin, and not just white noise?).

I'm a young physician (comparable to a GP in training) with a focus on lifestyle and nutrition medicine for many years. Fascinating field, eat whole grains, legumes and any veg in any amount, by the way.
I was at a video shoot where we prepare online courses for people to implement subtle changes into their diets without sacrificing flavour (#1 priority l, let's be honest). Our camera guy didn't feel well last shoot, and that day he returned with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. We worked out a plan together, overhauling his lifestyle week by week, and already at the next shoot (~6 weeks later), his blood glucose was NORMAL. As in, he was totally fine. It felt so awesome to have a patient who actually wants to change whatever is damaging him and implementing my advice. His change in weight and cholesterol was incredible, too, he looked really great.
Anyways, about 10 minutes before we all finished awe-ing him for his achievements, a guest chef came along, young woman, tattooed with arm, ear and noserings and henna. She was an ayurveda 'expert' (she finished 2 private courses on the subject, not the good kind of ayurveda either, but the batshit crazy kind) and tried to explain to me how gluten is the worst thing ever, people need foods with feminine energy in them, a Big Mac is far healthier if you eat it while sitting in nature and MDs have no clue about the body. Quite rude too. I knew i had to be in the same room as her for another 6 hours, so I plainly asked which studies I can read up on to see those results she's talking about, since I've never heard of them. She replied 'Studies? Those aren't important, docs only care about that bullshit, ayurveda has data for over 5.000 years.'
Everyone was in shock. Not a single person in the room thought she was right in the head, but knew they were in the same room for another 6 hours. When she left, they all congratulated me on staying calm.
The actually bad thing was how incredibly rude and self absorbed she was, never accepting the possibility that she might not be 100% correct.
Good god, I was boiling. I knew I could destroy her in maybe 3 sentences, but there was no benefit in that. Nobody listened to her anyways.

Got similar story for the deli guy
I worked in a deli for my first job, About 2 years. maybe 1 year in, I meet a mother and daughter. They were the worst customers I've ever had, they make up about 3/4 of the crazy stories I tell about the deli, but the first time I ever met them, the mother asked for "Fat Free Cheese." Cheese is mainly fat, so obviously I assume she's not a total lunatic and think she means "Low Fat Cheese" bring her the lowest fat cheese we have, she asks to see the label. I show her, and she says angrily, "This still has fat in it!! I asked for fat FREE cheese!." I told her that that isn't exactly possible, and that even if we had it we wouldn't have it in the deli section, but in the dairy section down the hall. She fuckin' LOSES IT. Goes on how I don't know what I'm talking about, how I just don't want to give her her cheese, etc. She demands the manager, I bring him, he says something that politely translates to "Lady that's crazy who would even make that, and even If we had it it would be in the dairy section down the hall" The satisfaction from that last part made it all worth it.
Edit: spelling, some phrasing/better wording, and I called fat “sodium” for some fucking reason.

Can you tell me about the MSG and pizza? I get migraines from MSG but have never seen it used in pizza.
my biggest annoyance is having worked at a FROYO store and customers would come up and ask me after staring at the flavor signs if we had gluten free flavors. It's frozen yogurt. Gluten is a WHEAT protein. Like obviously the cookies and cream would have gluten, since you know cookies are typically made from flour, but the mango sorbet? To top it off all the flavor signs said what allergens were in them anyway but apparently people are too dumb to read.
Honestly the only reason you would eat gluten free is if you actually were allergic to it. Gluten itself does nothing to affect your health (unless, again, if you're allergic to it), but people seem to be convinced that its a bad thing that should be avoided.
@@sweetpotatofries99 MSG is the chemical that makes you taste savory, like capsaicin is the compound making your mouth burn after eating chilis. It's in everything that taste savory, dried aged meat (and normal meat), cheese, fish, fermented sauces like soy sauce, tomatoes, grapey, mushrooms...

I'm a sound technician. I have had so many actors tell me I need to turn up their mics, and I always tell them they need to be louder, cause if I could fix the volume problem, as the person whose sole job it is to control the volume of things, I already would have. (I do appreciate when actors come up with legitimate concerns, like if I'm not necessarily getting enough of the low end of the vocals in a song and it throws it off.)
Then there's the opposite where there are actors who can project fine without a mic, but practically mumble when they have one cause they think it will make them louder. In theatre, microphones aren't there for the actors' convenience as much as they are for the audience's convenience.

The theory behind why hair seems thicker after shaving is that cutting the hair blunts the tips, making the hair appear thicker and coarse when it grows out, whilst waxing pulls out the whole hair and a new pointy, fine hair grows up which gives the illusion of there being less, and because they're harder to see, of it taking longer to grow back
I worked in Regulatory Food Labeling for a packaged pastry company, working with R&D and suppliers to build our Nutrition Facts panels and ingredient lists. I had full access and knowledge of every single ingredient and its proportion within our finished products. The FDA has extremely strict rules against fraudulent and misleading statements, which is why jobs like mine even existed, allowing everyone to have at least some semblance of knowledge of what is in our food.
Anyways, I got into this weeklong argument with Marketing over whether we could label a certain chocolate cake "Chocolate Mousse Cake," when it contained zero chocolate mousse. The team refused to let it go, asking dumb things like, "How about just 'Mousse cake?'" or "Can we just put, 'With real chocolate mousse' at the bottom?" My answer every time: "NO. YOU CAN'T. THERE IS NO MOUSSE IN IT." This was all over email, so I had to be very careful what I said, but the passive-aggressiveness was gonna explode pretty soon until R&D thankfully entered the conversation and told Marketing off for apparently making promises to customers without doing their freaking research on their own products.

Everything you know is fake and life is meaningless, let's go fiddle with test tubes")
