That different parts of your tongue taste different things.
When I was little, we did an experiment where we were supposed to "feel" which part of our tongue we were tasting things with, and I was like, "pretty sure I taste it everywhere". That teacher was fired for her anger issues at the end of the year, and that was certianly one of the moments where it came out, haha.
The annual lie: Next year isn't going to be as easy as this year!

"They won't take late work"
Me coming up with excuses for missing work in High School: "Um, my parents both died in a horrible accident, I got cancer, and my dog ate my textbook."
Me coming up with excuses for missing work in my job: "Yeah, I didn't do it."
And at work, you give yourself an A and go for a C.
Three Cue Reading Comprehension.
All because phonics had been taught for so long that cheaper options for textbooks began to become available due to copyrights ending.
The bavarian socialist republic was a chaotic murderouse revolutionarny group that had to be crushed by the military because they were murdering people just for the fun of it and it was not supported by the people.
The exact opposite is the case. The people were big in support of it, it would have lead to full pure democracy but the SPD corrupted and destroyed they saw it as a threat to their perfered order of a none direct democracy with still clear societal seperation of wealthy and the rest
In USA I think it's all the religious stuff deifying the founding enslavers. Let's be honest these people were genocidal enslavers, rapists, etc. The "revolutionary war" was largely so that they could maintain slavery and their disgusting privilege. These people are idiotic fash, not the geniuses they're portrayed as. They were fighting for evil.
This understanding of the history of USA almost completely explains most of its history.
The “revolutionary war” was largely so that they could maintain slavery
The civil war obviously was. The revolutionary war was back when the British were still pretty heavily involved in slavery, though. Is there evidence this was a specific driving factor?
Fighting for evil? I know one example is not enough, and ignores completely the plight of native americans from the founders. But to say they were fighting for evil I would say is a mischaracterization.
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
How could someone evil write something this cool?
Most likely, everyone dead by 1950 was a total bastard, if you measure them by modern standards. If you go all the way back to the 1700's, that's could include tolerating or participating in slavery, and of course colonial atrocities.
The American founding fathers were radical progressives for their day, though.

That a, e, i, o and u were the only vowels. So what's the vowel in sky?
I got marked incorrect for answering "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y"
I remember learning "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y too" in 2nd grade (at least >10 years ago)
