We've all got moments where we learn something amazing or shocking for the first time. And full disclosure: not all of these "facts" are true, but we still found them amusing nonetheless, and we hope you will too.

There's such a thing as blissful ignorance, but we're pretty sure these people aren't it. We do feel sort of bad for them, but at the same time, they provide us with a lot of entertainment, and they kind of make us feel better about our own intellect...

Some people just don't understand how the world works. In this story, a spoiled brat tries to blackmail a carpenter into making a near-impossible exception for him based on who his father is. Fortunately for our hero, things don't work out as planned.

Practically any woman can relate to this scenario: you're in a clothing store and you find a pair of jeans you like. Only thing is, when you try them on, they're tight in one area and too loose in another. And when you find another size, the same thing happens. What gives? This fascinating Tumblr thread explains why brands intentionally make arbitrary clothing sizes and why celebrities always look like their clothes fit perfectly in every single photo!

Being a woman can be pretty rough. People can mock PMS and teary outbursts, but these hormones are NO joke. In this very enlightening Facebook thread, a bevy of women share their most insanely irrational pre-menstrual moments. We doubt you'll take this sh*t lightly after some of these wild anecdotes.

We're all aware that big tech corporations store an insane amount of information about us, but it's probably safe to say that most of us weren't aware of the sheer vastness of it all (think literal millions of pages per person). Dylan Curran, Director of Technology at VFT Solutions, took it upon himself to investigate the amount of information that Google and Facebook have about him, and let's just say...what he found is unsettling to say the least.

Going to Disney World is always a magical experience, but most of us never consider what it's like to work behind the scenes there. As it turns out, it's full of rude people, but can also be pretty incredible, according to one Imgur user. Now please enjoy the posts below and click here if you're craving even more Disney content!

There isn't really a point to these optical illusion pics - they're just cool as hell and they'll give you a temporary distraction from everything happening in the world right now. Click here for some equally tricky pics of things that look like human faces!

As protesters continue to march through the streets for racial justice, the general public has started to wake up to the realities of policing in America. This Twitter thread, written by University of Florida writing professor Sean Trainor, details a night he spent shadowing a police officer classmate, only to discover just how corrupt the system is.

Let's just say, if you were undecided on the policing system before, this thread might make up your mind.

Some stories that exist out there sound like they're straight out of a movie. They can't possibly be true, right? Not so - writer Aidan Moher tweeted out the other day asking people to share their most unbelievable true stories, and let us just say...the people delivered.

Recently it was announced that the Asian giant hornet, otherwise known as the "murder hornet" had been spotted in North America for the first time earlier this month. While many of us have been downright panicking over it, others have been doing their research, like this woman, who decided to draft up a Facebook post of the misconceptions about our new little yellow friend. We hope it puts your mind a little more at ease!

These are incredibly strange times we're living in, and some of us are coping with being quarantined indefinitely better than others. This Twitter thread, written by Alexis Rockley, explains why you've been feeling rather off during this whole thing, but you just haven't been able to put your finger on why. We hope it'll shed a bit of insight into your own life. And always remember, it's important to be thankful for what you do have right now - trust us, it'll help.
