Did You Know What AM & PM Really Mean?

Here’s a mind-bender: most of us use AM and PM daily, but do you actually know what they stand for? Turns out, it’s not 'after midnight' or 'past morning.' The real roots are Latin—'ante meridiem' and 'post meridiem,' tied to the sun’s position. Even techies were stumped! Does this change how you think about timekeeping, or is it just trivia? Let’s debate: should we ditch these ancient terms for something more modern? #Timekeeping #TechTrivia #LearnSomethingNew #Tech

Unlock the World of Sign Languages! 🌍🤟

Did you know there are over 300 sign languages worldwide?! 😲 I used to think ASL was universal—boy, was I wrong! Here’s what blew my mind: • Every country (sometimes even regions!) has its own sign language. No, ASL isn’t the same as BSL or LSF! 🙈 • Some sign languages—like BANZSL—connect Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, but they’re totally different from ASL. • Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and even Indo-Pakistani Sign Languages each have unique signs, grammar, and culture. ❤️ • There’s no “universal” sign language, but International Sign tries to bridge gaps at global events. • Learning sign language isn’t just for Deaf folks! It boosts brain power, helps with memory, and brings people together. If you’re curious, start with fingerspelling your name. Practice makes perfect! ✋ Let’s break barriers and connect with more people. Who’s with me? 🤗 #SignLanguage #Inclusion #LearnSomethingNew #Education

Busting the Model T Black Car Myth: What I Learned at a Car Show

One thing that always gets me is when people say, "All Model T Fords were black." As a lifelong car enthusiast, I’ve heard this myth over and over, but it’s just not true! I remember stumbling upon a deep green Model T at a local classic car show and feeling genuinely surprised. Turns out, early Model Ts came in several colors. It was a great reminder to always double-check car facts before repeating them. Next time you hear this myth, share the real story! What’s a car myth you wish people would stop repeating? Drop it in the comments! #CarHistory #DrivingFacts #ModelT #CarMyths #LearnSomethingNew #Cars
