Reply to TIL your computer keyboard is 20,589 times dirtier than a toilet seat. The average office keyboard has 3,543,000 colony-forming units (CFU) of bacteria per square inch while your average toilet seat only has 172 CFU per square inch by SappyGilmore
I worked at a start-up. Dozens of people in a large dark room. Months went by using the assigned computer they gave me. The lights were turned on for the first time and the fucking filth that was on there. Stains all over it. The previous person that sat there ate a sandwich and a large piece of bread had been stuck under the space bar.
I found a new one in storage and lysol the fuck out of it.

Reply to TIL about foreign accent syndrome. This is a very rare (~100 cases worldwide) but real medical condition where people abruptly begin speaking in a foreign accent following head trauma like a bad migraine, accident, or stroke. by veety
Is this what happened to Andy Ngo? He must have gotten better since he doesn't have a British accent anymore.

Reply to comment by Steffie767 in TIL that the Fritos Company began when Charles Doolin bought a corn chip recipe, ricer, and 19 retail accounts from a corn chip maker for $100, which Doolin borrowed from his mother. His mother's kitchen was the first office of the Frito Company, which had a capacity of 10 lb of chips daily. by jdward01
I can't remember if it was the Fritos or Lay's guy, but I really hated the guy that played him. I didn't finish the episode, so I don't know if he was a deal life douche and really good acting or it was just the actor.

Three Kings Day/Epiphany? Though that was probably just a rip off of something much cooler the Greeks were doing

So how many Twitter followers do I need?
