Look, we could learn things by “reading books” or “taking classes” or whatever, but wouldn’t it be more interesting to just scroll through Tumblr until we found some posts that taught us things?
That’s what I do, and now I have an absolute wealth of dubious, fascinating knowledge with which to annoy my friends at parties!
Check out these twelve incredible topics I learned all about from the Humans of Tumblr.
12. Psychiatry and diagnostics
Back in my day, we didn’t have all this dark matter! You kids and your quantum physics!

Turns out very few of us are happy about anything ever but we all need money. Who knew.
10. Psychology and mortification
This is literally why I cannot watch the first couple seasons of The Office.
9. Currency and debt

7. Mexican-Japanese history
I smell a smash hit HBO series in the works.
