Things that took you way too long to realize....

Unlike decades, centuries and millennia begin on the 1 year instead of the 0 year. For example, January 1st, 2000 was the start of a new decade, but it wasn't the start of the new century or millennium until January 1st, 2001.

I also didn't know there wasn't a year 0 A.D. We went straight from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D.

The reason I was always unsure of how the years between B.C. and A.D. were counted was for a long time I assumed A.D. was abbreviation for After Death. So I thought there were 33 years between 1 B.C. and 1 A.D.
It was only much later that I found that A.D. was latin for Anno Domini (year of the lord).

With that in mind, I was always like "It's Year 1 when he is one year old," things like that.

Flash Fill on spreadsheets.

The old saying of if you want hard things done get a lazy person to do it because they'll find fast and easy ways to do it.

Found that out thanks to someone at my work. They showed me some "shortcuts" like that, and while it's not perfect, if you utilize it properly it can save so much time.

I could turn a 30 minute task into a 3 minute one thanks to this, but still obviously make it seem like it took 30 minutes because "work smarter not harder".

Season of the witch should have been a standalone movie however, from my understanding all Halloween movies after season of the witch would have been their own entities, so I understand why Halloween three has nothing to do with Michael Myers

I haven't heard that one before. The one I always heard was ''If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it.''

Probably lots of variations of a similar thing.

Could probably add on "if you want something done quick, ask a lazy person to do it."

I had no idea Suge Knight played in the NFL for the Rams. As a scab, yeah, but still, I didn't know it.
