What Can’t You Wrap Your Head Around . . . No Matter How Many Times It’s Explained to You?
There’s a whole meme where people desperately ask others to explain things to them, “like they’re 5.” But it doesn’t always work.
People on social media are talking about the things that . . . no matter how it’s explained to them . . . they just can’t understand. Like:
1. Space.
2. Magnets . . . Someone said, “I have resigned myself to the fact that they’re magic, and that’s all there is to it.”
3. Electricity.
4. Quantum mechanics. (Well, okay, this one is understandable.)
5. The stock market.
6. Crypto mining . . . and all other aspects of digital currency and blockchains.
7. How airplanes can be so big and heavy and fly.
8. The transformation from caterpillars to butterflies.
9. How a basic wax album and record player works. (Which was basically a moot issue for a couple decades, and now it’s back again.)
10. How cell phones work.
11. Both clouds . . . and “the cloud.”
12. The metaverse.
13. How a chicken can make a whole egg . . . every day.
14. MRIs.
15. The “offsides” penalty.
16. Blowing a bubble with gum. (???)
17. Which way is East, North, South, and West.
18. Folding a fitted sheet.
