Mt. Everest IS the highest mountain, but it’s not the tallest. Those words aren’t interchangeable.

[@FastEddy1959]

Actually, it depends on how you define “highest”. Everest’s peak is farthest above “sea level” but, since the Earth is not a perfect sphere there is a number of other peaks that are farther from the center of the Earth.

[@Scootermagoo]

Actually technically everest is the third highest, Everest is the highest from sea level, hawaii is the highest physically from the base and chimborazu in equador is the highest from the center of the earth. So being third best is pretty good given the company.

[@NBGUYVER]

Makes sense. The highest refers to elevation on earth. Tallest refers to height from base to tip

[@childresshouse]

Doesn't everest eventually reach the sea floor too. So are we measuring what we see or from the sea floor. They all eventually reach the deepest place on earth.

[@Scootermagoo]

@@childresshouse read what I said, everest is the highest above sea level, mauno loa is the highest from base and chimborazu is the highest from the center of the earth because of planetary bulge due to the 1000mph rotational speed of the planet at the equator. So I'm not sure what you do not understand. Also everest has no part of it touching the ocean it's like 2500 miles from the indian ocean in the nw corner of the Himalaya's.

False, much like the common misconception about man evolving from monkeys. Baseball and Cricket share a common predecessor. The difference is that one developed into an enjoyable summer’s day pastime, featuring a variety of tactics and strategies in a true athletic contest. The other game became only a method to test man’s ability to endure unending hours (and sometimes actual DAYS) of boredom, occasionally interrupted by spurts of incomprehensible and unimpressive activity.

Pepperidge Farms in particular gives their products a very short shelf life so consumers always get a fresher product than all their competitors. 3 months for most cookies and crackers and 3 or 4 days for bread..

Rice actually is a factor is removing liquid from cell phone, iPads and the like, but not as most think.

Then put it in a food sealer, I use a FoodSaver®️. Step 1: I make a bag. Step2: Fill it about 2/3 of way with the ‘Sticky’ Rice. Step 3: Lay the bag of ‘Sticky’ Rice on its side. Step 4: Insert the iPhone (my model, though friends have used various other models) in to the bag, in the rice with the ports facing the opening of the bag. Step 5: Insert the bag into the FoodSaver®️. Step 6: Start the cycle and let it run. Step 7: Set the bag aside for 6-8 hours. Occasionally, the process must be repeated. The success rate has been 100% for me and all those whom I know that have used this method.

The "cellphone in rice" actually does work. At least it did for me. Back in July of 2013, I was in my bass boat out on the lake one day and accidentally left the rear live well aeration pump on and it overflowed into the "glovebox" between the two seats. Which is where I kept my iPhone 4 that day. When I went to check the time and for missed calls/texts, I realized my phone was under about 5" of water. I quickly removed it, and quickly wrapped it tightly in a towel. I did not push any buttons or the screen bcuz I knew that any touch "command would cause an electrical charge to flow and probably result in shorting out the board and frying the circuitry. I got back to my apartment about 2 hrs later (4;30p), stuffed it down deep into a half-full box of rice, and left it there until I got up the next morning around 7a to go to work. Before I left, I put it on the charger until I got home later on that day. When I got home, I tried to turn it on and low and behold it powered up. The only lasting sign it had been submersed was the camera was looked a little bit cloudy but overall it was fine. The cloudiness went away 3 days later. The reason I was so desperate to save the phone was because it was my g/f's that she gave to me because I wanted another iPhone after my 3GS was stolen, and she wanted to upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy S3. She passed away two weeks prior to this incident and my phone had a lot of pictures of me and her together. So, to me, I felt since I couldn't save her, I HAD to save that phone. Man, grief makes you rationalize things in some strange, inexplicable ways sometimes.

Addition to 17. The actual flag of St Patrick is the one used by Northern Ireland and not the one of the Republic. In other words wearing those colours are totally wrong. It would make more sense to wear the colours of the Italian flag since they better represent the Patron Saint the day is named after.

I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s. We spent St. Pat’s day by going to Mass in the morning, buying some shamrock from the little old lady outside the church, then going for a ride in the Wicklow mountains, stopping for lunch, often in the garden of a nice pub, it being early spring. In the evening, we would go to a pub where there was good music. We never went to the, then, small parade. That was for tourists.

[@geordiewishart1683]

Patrick was a member of the Celtic culdee church. From his surviving writings, we can deduce that his beliefs were Bible centred. There is no evidence that he took part in a mass. In fact, the Celtic church was far removed from the errors of Rome.

The Spanish flu was called that because Spain was the only country that the media couldn't be controlled so when they reported it in their news, people jumped to the most logical conclusion . In fact it was first noticed in Chinese laborers that were shipped across Canada to work in the war effort . When they opened the boxcars many were sick or dying , they shipped the live ones . I don't know but I'll bet they originated in the same area that gave us the black death and cvid . They had so many deaths once it got going that they couldn't allow the enemy to find out their weakness , war correspondents were forbidden to report on it . Very interesting story if you want to dig a little .

No, all OBJECTS fall at the same speed, if you eliminate wind resistance. Regardless of mass. Newton calculated that, and Buzz Aldrin demonstrated it by taking a feather and a hammer to the Moon and dropping them. They both fell at the same speed and hit the ground together. He did it on the Moon because there's no air.

Who thought soft water was better to drink? People have water softeners put in their homes mostly to cut down on hard water deposits on taps and also because it helps cleaning products be more "sudsy". It feels nicer to bathe in as well. If installed correctly, however, the soft water will not be run through the tap most likely to be used for drinking water for exactly the reason stated in the video. Hard water is better for you because you are getting the minerals from it that your body needs. Besides, truly clean water tastes terrible.

Well at least most of the facts are true however, one is glaringly incorrect. There IS, in fact, a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The symbolic statement is meant to represent the fact that it isn't possible to gain riches through wishful fantasy. It serve to teach the young that only through factual knowledge and strategic planning as well as hard work in contrast with the easily obtained gold, can one become rich. This works since it is preposterous that a pot of gold exists at the end of the rainbow and so, in reality, no one would believe it. While I have no evidence of the above statements, as a Philosopher and Anthropologist, I can credibly come to the aforementioned conclusions.

What they call protestantism began in the Christ Era (CE) right after Christ rose to heaven. Catholicism made it seem like they were the first church. Catholicism came after.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

@@bkThund3r No. Christianity was the first church, Catholicism came second and Protestantism third. Protestantism tells us what it is in its name: it was a protest against the theology and authoritarianism of the Roman Catholic Church. The closest we have gotten to the early church is when Pentecostalism first started after the Azusa Street Revivals (1906-1915). The churches were independent house meetings which stressed fellowship, Bible study, and worship over ritual and routine, exactly what the early church did. Unfortunately, those churches were the forebears of the evangelical megachurches that are ruining Christianity now.

[@Kahadi]

A lot of these entries are only half accurate in very misleading ways... The best by date is just that. The product is best if consumed by that date. No, it does not mean it immediately goes bad after that date, just that they can't guarantee the quality. It could have gone bad, but it could also just not taste as good as usual while still being edible. But you have to check the wording. Because that's what a best by date means. A sell by date means that it is starting to go bad after that. Doesn't mean it is bad, just that its too risky for the store to sell it as it could be bad, so they could be sued. A consume by date means it is almost certainly bad after that date based on scientific studies. It might still be good, but you can't always discern based on look and smell, it can take a lot of experience and research and as such its typically better to toss if it says "consume by". So it all depends on wording. Similarly, the Mount Everest one depends on your wording. And you really screwed it up. No, Mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain. But tallest and highest aren't the same thing, and it is the highest mountain. There is no other mountain peak on Earth that stands above Mount Everest. Other mountains are taller base to peak, but they aren't higher. Think of it like having a 6' tall person standing at the base of a ladder and a 5' person standing at the top of the ladder. The 6' person is still taller, but the 5' person is higher up. So you're both right and wrong because you kept alternating between highest and tallest. And it does make a difference, because a higher peak is where you find it harder to breathe and it becomes colder. So no, Mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain, that's been known for a while, but it is the highest mountain. Snakes do hear and react to music. Music can create vibrations in the ground and other surfaces, not just the air. However, you're also right that no, it is not the music of the flutes that they react to with snake charming. That music wouldn't be enough to cause vibrations in the ground for them to respond to. So that's more of a misleading title. Same goes for the coffee beans one. Coffee does come from coffee beans. No, they aren't actually beans, coffee bean is a misnomer. But that is what they are called, so yes, coffee does come from coffee beans, but no, it does not come from a bean. Just like how peanut butter doesn't come from a nut, because peanuts are not nuts, but it does still come from peanuts.

The “Spanish” flu actually originated in MidWestern USA. It was a form of bird flu, transmitted from wild birds, like ducks, to domesticated ducks, to human handlers. The human handlers ie young male farm hands, enlisted in the army and went to boot camp i; the eastern and southern States. Where the initial fever and contagion established itself. Then, they shipped out to the European theatre of war. The deaths began during the initial transfer, but intensified during trench warfare and passed to the general public during hospitalisation and general leave. The Spanish flu was American.
