Teach me something useful about a subject you know very well.

Doesn't have to be a detailed lesson, in fact ideally just a few words or a single post.

Boosts appreciated, 2023 is coming and I'd like to get smarter. Maybe we can all get a bit smarter.

I'll start:

My job is voiceovers and I can tell you with absolute confidence that reading your writing out loud is like a magic trick for better proofreading.

The mouth stumbles on mistakes the eyes glide over.

@ConorMahood I used to work in produce, and a guy I worked with told me that rotting potatoes smell like a rotting corpse. I've dealt with dead rodents and can confirm.

@ConorMahood @jorsh Pro tip: never dump that entire bag of potatoes straight into your compost bin, unless you're fond of a years worth of rotting corpse smell.

I wish this was not something learned by personal experience.

@jorsh @ConorMahood roast pork smells very similar to burning human flesh. If you have a firefighter coming for a Sunday roast, choose something else.

@jorsh so we're all potatoes. I knew it! (As a german guy that's no surprise)
