    Friend, you’re not a moron just cause you didn’t know about some relatively unknown aquatic creature. You just got out-nerded this time 😎

      The really weird part is that I actually did know.

      What I don’t know is when, where, or how I got that information.

        Are you the alt domain for the person I was talking to or someone random injecting themself in the conversation? Either way I’m happy you acquired knowledge at some point in the past

        Many of us did know from like Middle or High school or some part of our education, but who would have thought you need to think about school to understand Lemmy

          It’s called the wolverine effect, I can’t remember where I learned that ironically.

          We all know what a wolverine is, but can you tell me where you learned it from?

          It probably has a fancy name like “memory source origin amnesia” or something, but it basically goes along the lines of your brain not remembering where you learned something, you just remember the thing.

          It’s why propaganda is so effective even on people looking for it.
