  • Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What was a fact taught to you in school that ended up being disproven during your lifetime?

      • Agapito Flores who "invented" the florescent light
      • The tongue has specific areas for certain tastes

      • Parang si Armando Malite, inventor of the armalite. ROTFLMAO!

        But the pinoy inventor of WiFi (Wilhemyo Filisterio) unearthed a better easter egg: a Hollywood actress was the person behind WiFi, bluetooth, and GPS.

    • The Tasaday was still being taught to us in grade school despite being exposed as a hoax several years before.

      Also, I was going through my old test papers and some of my answers in GRMC were marked wrong even if it's correct.

    • Pluto is a planet.

    • First communion.

  • I know Mobile Legends is for kids or at least those who behave like children with insults like "mama mo" or "throw ko na to", but the new menu music just hammers that point home.

  • Tried commuting via MRT after 3 years of avoiding public transport and it's surprisingly just about the same experience I had on good days before the pandemic. On a related note, one of the stems on my foldable umbrella finally broke after a decade of use, so now I've a reason to buy a new one.

  • Yung mga companies promote competition within their ranks pero ayaw nila ng competition kapag di sila makikinabang, kaya may mga non-compete cause sa mga contracts. Bakit? Kung kaya namin makipagcompete, dapat kayo din.

  • Di man lang ako informed na nandito sa amin sina Atom Araullo at Howie Severino nung Monday. Day off ko pa naman nun
