It is natural to unintentionally take a lot of things for granted in life. Especially if you don't realize a lot of the priveledges in your life are no accessible to everyone else. Things as simple as 3 meals a day, running water, parents, although we wouldn't call them luxuries, they're definitely not guaranteed for everyone. In case you're interested in thinking about some of the things you are lucky to have access to, here is a whole list of them.

As humans, we are natural people watchers and eavesdroppers. It's simply in our DNA, how can we not be somewhat interested in what other people are doing or saying? It's already startling enough to consider the fact that there are complete strangers all over the world living entire lives that we don't take any part in. Like how is that possible? And it's not even just people across the globe, there are literally people in your city, town, suburb, whatever, that have an entire existence that will never involve you. This is why it is so precious when we have these random eavesdropping moments, that give you a peek into someone's existence, no context, no nothing, that's all you get. Thrilling, isn't it?

Everybody has their own hygienic routine, and it's not really fair to judge someone's just because it doesn't match your own. Obviously there are minimal standards, but then again, not everyone has the same access to hygienic facilities so it's probably best to not assume anything. This works vice versa as well, people who take hour-long showers should really consider their water usage. What are they doing in there for a whole hour anyway? Like we said, it's not good to judge, but It's hard not to get suspicious when someone could easily spend a good portion of their day in the restroom.

A lot of the time we, women, like to talk about the things that many men simply cannot comprehend. things relating to our reproductive systems. our friendship circles, even our fashion inspiration. It is hard to know if men have caught on by this point that women do not really dress for their gaze. We usually dress to get compliments from more fashionable women. Oops. Is it okay that I revealed that?

Well, men on Reddit are revealing all of their guy secrets, and maybe it will give us an inside look into the male psyche.

It is already well known that women do not care about dressing in a way that suits the male gaze. Fashion trends are usually made by women to impress other women, and we also just enjoy expressing our own styles. That all being said, it is interesting to think about what guys do actually prefer on a female figure. You might expect everyone to say, "Nothing." But surprisingly this Reddit thread is full of actual clothing items and original aesthetics.

It is hard to understand what would drive people to start going at it right in the middle of their workspace. But I suppose that is exactly why it is so enticing. There's always a thrill in knowing you may be caught in a very inappropriate location, and possibly even have to face the consequences. Is there a fetish for this? Or do we all just like to feel a little bad sometimes?

On Reddit people are sharing their stories of what happened when they got caught having sex at work. You might find the responses quite titillating.

There are a lot of perks of being a man. Getting paid better, cheaper toiletries, no periods... need I go on? But there are also a lot of annoying things that men have to deal with that women just don't have to worry about. Men get ridiculed for crying or showing any emotion for that matter. They are much more limited in terms of fashion and overall taste, and they have this thing hanging off their body at all times.

To be fair, women also have 'things' hanging off of their own bodies, but it's not exactly the same.

On Reddit, men are sharing the most annoying things about having a you-know-what, and they are quite interesting.

One of the most exciting parts of the internet is how we are able to easily meet and connect with people all over the world. It's so interesting to compare cultures with real people, rather than just basing our expectations on movies and books. Hearing from a real person is definitely the way to go. Plus they can share all the weird sh*t that they have in their country, and it's usually not the kind of stuff you'll see in a TV show. If you think your country is weird, maybe this thread will make you realize, really, all countries are weird.

You have probably heard this at least once before, but men and women get treated quite differently. I think it's called inequality? I don't know, it's so embedded into our culture it's hard to even recognize it sometimes.

Seriously, you can see the inequality in almost every context. It's the kind of thing where, once somebody points it out to you, you can't go back to ignoring it. This woman shared on Tumblr how it is especially apparent in the media.

Okay, it is seriously getting really difficult to understand whether marketers are just incorporating sex into their every project, or we are all just way too quick to see erotic things in totally innocent objects. Can someone please come up with a decent explanation? I'm really starting to believe it's the former. So many of these photos just seem way too real. And I believe marketers do it on purpose. Yes, sex sells, but where is the line?

If you see some dirty images too, just remember it's not you, it's the world.

It's amazing how long people can go believing a 'fun fact' they heard once, without ever actually looking into it. My parents used to tell me that drinking soda would stunt my growth, and I thought, "Oh sh*t, okay, thanks for the heads-up," and then proceeded to avoid soda at all costs and silently judge anyone who dared take a sip. It wasn't until I was much older, and had already completely stopped growing vertically, that I realized this was straight-up BS. Though this is what parents do, lying is easier than explaining.

Though it is important to note that not all of the dumb things we say come from our parents. There are some things we need to take responsibility for, like being airheads.

If you've ever come across someone with a lot of questionable 'knowledge,' you'll probably enjoy this Reddit thread.

Nobody wants to live with regrets, but we all have them. It's nearly impossible to avoid them, because every time we do one thing, we're missing out on another experience. Plus, the grass is always greener on the other side. Those of us that spent college partying and getting bad grades regret not trying hard enough, and those of us who spent every Friday night in the library after-hours regret not partying enough. You can't win! Unless of course, you believe that everything happens for a reason, and you accept that every decision led you to where you are today, and that is exactly where you are meant to be... but that's some deep introspective sh*t.

This is one of the cutest and most wholesome stories we've read in awhile. 

Thanks to the amazing teacher who shared this! 

Good question. 

Would the centaurs heart be located in the human half or the horse half? 

Can't say the thought has ever crossed our minds but now we have to know! 

Thank you @FredWuMD for bringing this raising this question. 

Our summary of the best of 2019 is nearly over -- but cannot be completed without the best of Tumblr!

2019 has been a very strange... yet interesting and informative year for Tumblr (well, Tumblr is technically always strange).

Don't worry though, you'll be learning while having fun. Laughs are absolutely guaranteed. 

Here's to more random information and hearty belly laughs in 2020! Cheers! 

How would you describe color to a blind person? Do you describe the emotions usually felt with each color? Things that are associated with said color? Do you have a cultural interpretation for each color? 

There doesn't seem to be a right or wrong answer but it's definitely interesting to read what people have come up with that describes colors for them.
