I think about this shit constantly.
Anyone else remember when we were like, decades ahead of this kind of thinking, and advocating for co-ed sports, because we all understood that two people undergoing the same training at the same intensity for the same amount of time would achieve roughly the same result regardless of agab?
"Scrooge said that he would see him—yes, indeed he did. He went the whole length of the expression, and said that he would see him in that extremity first."

For anyone who may be wondering, 'Donner' and 'Blitzen' are the German words for Thunder and Lightning. Contrary to popular belief, Santa Claus was not a part of the fabled Donner Party tragedy of 1847, nor as far as we know, did he ever partake in cannibalism.

She also told us candy canes were shaped that way because they are a J for Jesus (this is, shockingly, not true), and easter eggs are actually not eggs but a chocolate representation of the stone rolled in front of Jesus' tomb (this is also, SHOCKINGLY, not true)

And we forgot, "having to sit in silence on your own for an hour" was up until recently the most common alternative if your parents opted you out of the dumpster fire:
