I once had a passenger criticise me for indicating a turn when there were no others cars around. She said it showed I was driving without thinking, automatically signalling when it wasn't needed. I think I said something like "fuck you" or maybe "I'll drop you off here then if you don't like my driving". I'm signalling my intentions to the universe! Behold my blinking lights, for I am voyaging leftwards!
Hardly anyone in the UK can say "sixth". They pronounce it "sick". Some people can't even say "six", that becomes "sick" as well. I judge them for it - lazy!
There was a bit of tech around at the time - telegraph. The flare sparked fires in telegraph offices and shocked some operators. As in electric shock, not a big fright, though no doubt also that. Some operators disconnected their batteries and were able to communicate by the auroral current alone.

Your immune system gives some protection against botulinum, but it doesn't fully develop until about six months to a year old. This is why you should never ever feed honey to an infant. Bees will occasionally end up on the ground, picking up botulinum. There's a very small chance of a trace of the bug ending up in honey. It's not enough to harm an older child or adult, but even thst tiny amount can kill a baby.
Genius.
According to Wikipedia, "the world population ... was estimated by the United Nations to have exceeded eight billion in mid-November 2022. It took around 300,000 years of human prehistory and history for the human population to reach a billion and only 218 years more to reach 8 billion."
There are PLENTY of people in the world. Some of them need to get off my lawn. Grrr.
He did have a banana thrown at him in Barnsley one time, as well as a milkshake. And another time it was a coffee cup. N Going around with such a punchable face comes with risks.
I'm right with you on "magic clean hand socks". In the canteen at my last job the staff would make sandwiches wearing gloves and then take money from customers and ring it up on the till - still wearing the same gloves. Cash is the filthiest thing you could touch in this situation, but they'd go and make the next sandwich after handling it. Yuck.
they can't move around
Ahem, athlete's foot is a fungus. And there's a nail fungus too. They're walking a mile in your shoes...
Oh, and ringworm? Fungus.
Sadly they moved away, and let the flat to concrete-shod students.
"The proof is in the pudding." It makes zero sense! The actual adage is, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." It means that a dessert can look perfect and enticing, but if the cook used salt instead of sugar it will taste disgusting.
I don't know what people even think they're saying with "the proof is in the pudding".
