Because mythology and facts are all the same to the intellectually lazy. Why work to prepare your own food when you can be hand fed someone else's version of nourishment? There is also a healthy dose of confirmation bias required, but when combined with intellectual sloth, opinions become immutable truths to those who “knew it all along”.
A rare example of this obsessive compulsives occasional application of “who cares?” I don’t know who created Mongolian beef, and normally I would not rest until I did, but it’s so good I’m able to enjoy it without that knowledge. I wish I was kidding, but…
Ah yes, the truly important questions in life,A rare example of this obsessive compulsives occasional application of “who cares?” I don’t know who created Mongolian beef, and normally I would not rest until I did, but it’s so good I’m able to enjoy it without that knowledge.

"Do you think in England they just call them muffins?"
"Is this really what bacon is like in Canada?"
"Do Chinese people just call it, 'food?'"
"what if the onions in the french onion soup aren't actually french?"
"Why do they call them chop sticks, you don't use them to chop anything"
Unfortunately, just about every question that pops in to my head is important, at least to me. As I’ve grown older I’ve managed to moderate the compulsion that drives me to need to know, and I’ve (finally) learned to tell the difference between important and casual facts, but there are certain areas where I’m powerless to just let it go. If there is a personal hell, this could well be it. It has certainly been mine for most of my life. I don’t ignore things to pursue the near endless tangental questions unrelated to the task at hand, but they never go away until I address them.
Fair enough my man, everybody is wired differently, and I can see how this sort of thing could really affect some people.
There is an upside. Wifey was fond of referring to me as a warehouse of worthless information.
Wooden fish there.
I'm like all at sea here like: before the like button was like introduced like, how on Earth did we like survive like ? Was fondling like a thing ? Backslapping like ? Backhanders like ? Is like … like … contagious if you like ? I like like like. Don't get me wrong.

I bought a pair of shoes from Amazon a few months back and returned them the following day. They were in pristine condition and I never wore them outside. I returned them because I didn't love the way they looked, but now looking at them again, I kinda like them.
They have the same shoes in my size in used but excellent condition with no signs of wear and they come in the original box.
What are the chances these are the ones I returned? I've never bought used shoes before, but if they were used by me and they're 30 bucks less, I can live with that.

I ain't burying no survivors! Those people fight back!! I'd give the dead to their families and let them figure it out.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
They can be considered as particles or waves. It depends on what effect you are considering when they hit something
I can relate to this having worked night shift in India.
Jug of Margaritas with the crew at 9 am followed by bacon and eggs then off to bed.
Get up later that day and have curry and coffee.
Drew some strange looks
