If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for "safety", then it's too dangerous to be road legal.
It's explicitly the opposite, scientifically, according to my safety class
The deep rumble being loud overwhelms anyone's ability to properly locate the bike quickly, and they demonstrated this live. It's definitely harder to locate a LOUDER bike

Pineapple is a legitimate pizza topping lol
I used to hate on it before I tried it at a friend's house. Man, Hawaiian pizza is one of my favourite ones now and I will happily join you on dying on this hill.

It is NOT "habaΓ±ero." If you pronounce a "y" in the word, you're commiting what's called a "hyper-foreignism" where you over apply something you learned a foreign culture does.
It's just an N sound. Habanero.
It's not even my culture/language but damn this gets under my collar.

Niche pronounced with a "ch" sound is wrong and dumb and I hate you
Those people who pronounce it 'nitch'? The word for that is WRONG. Those people deserve ridicule.
On that note: cache
Rhymes with "sheesh"

Using tabs for document management (f.e. Browsers, Text-Editors, ...) was a mistake. It would be way better if every document (website, text-file, image, console, ..) was in its own window, centrally managed by an intelligent window manager of the OS that allows quick and easy search between all documents like with a full-text searchable exposè-like view.
Using tabs for document-management was a bad but necessary workaround because Windows is a horrible window manager (despite its name, ironically).
Tabs work best when there is a fixed amount of them (Like with game settings: Controls, Audio, Video, Gameplay).
I could go on for quite a while on this, but I think this is where I stop.

Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day
There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is "reckonise" which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.
driving on the left just makes way more sense.
Only because it's what you're used to. Also I know there are countries (Sweden, or was it Norway?) that have switched which side they drive on, and as far as I know no one has switched from right to left.
I have a reason. Most people are right handed. In a Right hand drive car with manual gears your preferred hand remains on the steering wheel when you change gears. Also messing with the stereo or climate controls also leaves your preferred hand on the wheel.

Time units are just as cursed as American units.
Conversion between days, hours, minutes and seconds is a total mess. If you never have to do anything with those numbers, you donβt need to worry about it. The moment you need to do calculations or compare devices you run into completely unnecessary problems that would have been easy to avoid. Just think of pumps and fans with units given in l/min or m^3/h.
Just pick the standard time unit and stick with it. Use prefixes to deal with big or small numbers.
