34 Shocking Truths Revealed by People Astounded at How Many Miss Basic Facts
Ever notice how some life “basics” aren’t so basic after all? Like, who knew that a yield sign isn’t a personal challenge to beat the other car, or that “essential” oils aren’t actually essential? Growing up shapes what skills we pick up—whether it’s milking a cow or dodging rush hour traffic—but apparently, there’s a shocking amount of common knowledge that folks just don’t get. Thanks to a Reddit thread sparked by user ej1273 asking what “basic knowledge” many supposedly lack, a cascade of eye-opening (and sometimes facepalm-worthy) truths came pouring in. From understanding homelessness isn’t just about choices to knowing how to handle a grease fire without making things worse—this is the kinda stuff you’d hope everyone just “got.” But surprise, surprise! Dive in with me as we explore these gaps that might just make you stop and think, or chuckle in disbelief. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/zxbsiy/whatsconsideredbasicknowledgethatmanypeople/” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>LEARN MORE
We all grow up with a different skill set depending on our circumstances. A person who grew up on a farm will know how to milk a cow and a person who grew up in a city will be aware of when traffic gets heavier to avoid it. These skills and knowledge are acquired by experience or are taught, but even if you need them, you don’t necessarily have them.
Redditors noticed that some people lack knowledge that they consider to be basic, so they shared what gaps bother them and filled others in when user ej1273 asked “What’s considered basic knowledge that many people don’t know?”
