You know those videos that talk about things in Japan that are "mindblowing" (often they're not that common or just small little touches). Well fuck it, here's a load of things that I think will blow people's minds about the UK that are just common knowledge here.
If you find a road that's oddly straight out in the countryside, chances are it was originally a Roman road. Several Major roads and sections of motorway follow the route of Roman Roads. There's a Roman Road that goes under the end of my street, part of it is still in use.
Every hour, on the hour, BBC radio 4 plays a series of beeps that tell you when it's exactly on the hour so you can set your clocks and watches.
We have a TV show made for Amateur Astronomers that has been going on since 1957. They cover major events and discoveries in Astronomy.
We have a Gameshow called Countdown wherein people take semi random letters and try create the longest word they can from it, and then take semi random numbers and try to use them to get to a random number. It is one of the Longest running and popular daytime gameshows and is a national treasure.
In Scotland, a lot of our chip shops were/are opened by Italians or people of Italian descent, so you can also get pizza there. Haggis pizza is a common menu item and it slaps.
The controllers in charge of the power grid have to watch every major soap opera and sports event because when the event ends or goes to commercial break, so many people get up to go make a cup of tea it risks a blackout, so they have to use Pumped storage stations to generate more power. There's one of these power stations near Wales's Highest Mountain and one at Loch Ness.
Every major channel rehearses for the death of the current monarch so they don't fuck it up. Under the news desk at the BBC, there's a black tie for the men and a black cardigan for the women that they put on if a major royal dies. You can see this happen if you watch the footage.
The government announces tests of the EAS system in advance so people know that A) it's a test, don't panic and B) so people with hidden phones (like abused spouses) can turn them off.
Our lifeboat and lifeguard service, The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, is completely volunteer run and funded through donations. Volunteers have to have pagers on them that ring if they're called up so they can run to the boats and rescue people. They're often in remote areas, and they're a common charity to raise money for because everyone agrees that they're not just heroic, but based as all fuck.
Most major supermarkets deliver, and by that I don't mean "you can send a gig-worker to do your shopping", I mean Tesco, Sainsbury's, Iceland and ASDA all have fleets of official trucks where you can do your shopping online, a supermarket worker picks your stuff for you, and at a designated time someone comes and delivers your shopping. They're even a common site in rural areas.
It's a Christmas tradition to go to your local theater to see a Pantomime, which is basically a retelling of a fairy tale done by drag queens aimed at children, but with jokes for the adults and modern cultural references. Famous actors will often take part in these shows. It's a beloved Christmas tradition that's illegal in Tennessee.
BBC radio 4 Broadcasts a Special Weather Forecast for people who work at sea or even on the water. It's very technical and concise and people who do not work at sea or even live near any major body of water listen to it because it is very, very relaxing.
Well @princessbonecrimes, you're in luck. It's online for all to hear.
Wow! And none of this whimsy appears in Harry Potter, the only British literary export.
Maybe we need to add
We have a very famous playwright called William Shakespeare whose plays are still taught in schools 400 years later
Sometimes, I wonder about the level of neurodivergence in my family. And then my dad will come in to tell me proudly about the spreadsheet he has set up to gather the information from the local weather station in 15 minute intervals and display the cumulative rainfall in days, weeks and months, and the struggles he had with making a 2026 table ahead of time.
And then I don't wonder about that anymore, and instead turn my thoughts again to getting tested.
Problem: Work issue that is not my fault, nor can I really do anything more than I am currently doing but I know that this is going to cause a big problem with our customer and I am going to be the one they yell at. Now my brain has entered Anxiety Mode, and I cannot focus on anything other than The Problem, and doom scrolling through social media. Which, of course, gives me a whole WORLD of things to worry about, and the problem gets worse.
Solution: Grab a Terry Pratchett off my bookshelf and read some amusing yet meaningful prose out loud to myself. Sometimes I just need to get away from the immediate source to think of the solution, and this is much better for my mental health than YouTube shorts.
Alright, folks, I've been feeling down so it's time purify my home of dark spirits. (Do the hoovering and washing up)

Private rant/incoherent ramble
So I can get this off my chest and out of my mind without hurting feelings.
FFXIV 7.3 reaction!
I never do these, but I had some feelings, and the most vocal members of my FC haven't been shy about how much they've disliked Dawntrail, so I don't want to talk to them and just get negative feedback.
have been girlrotting all week and didn't even notice no wonder i feel like ass.
- opened my window
- made my bed
- put my dirty clothes in the hamper
- put my empty bottles in the recycling
- took a shower
- did a facemask
- listened to you learn alanis morisette on repeat while doing my full skincare routine because sometimes a bitch just needs it
- flossed & brushed my teeth
- put on clean clothes
Thank you to this post for helping me realise that although I had put my laundry in the washing machine, I had forgotten to turn it on.
Moooola!
This is cosmic horror. To me.
Artist is Thomas Deininger.
@andrasandreas replied:
The artist is Thomas Deininger btw - He creates these sculptures from garbage he finds on beaches and dumpsters to create images of animals that are threatened due to human activity. In his own words, he wants to replace the viewer's confidence in understanding the world with unease. Plus he also wants to share the idea that "There’s so much junk around us that we can recreate the natural world"
Upsetting, in that as you pan around it looks like the animal is decaying until the eye focuses and you can see all of the plastic, and of course that is the point.
But also - that is phenomenal art, it looks like someone's pinned an actual bird to the wall.
Do you understand what I'm saying?" shouted Moist. "You can't just go around killing people!"
"Why Not? You Do." The golem lowered his arm.
"What?" snapped Moist. "I do not! Who told you that?"
"I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly.
"I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!"
"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.

I've had a bit of a dog around and found a big bag of sheet music that I had saved. Some of it is vocals, some of it is handwritten and a lot of it is too hard for my current skill level, but I did find the grade 2 scales and arpeggios, and a book of grade 1 pop songs. I don't remember either my brother nor I having this book, but here it is!
And I have to ask: Ms Taylor Swift, what is your problem with starting on the first beat of the bar?! It doesn't need to be this difficult!
Round two of relearning the violin after 20 years. Although I have never heard my neighbours tv/music through the walls in the two years I've lived here, I am still genuinely worried that I am annoying them with this. It is truly beginner stuff, a full half of the material is open string bowing, but I am sounding better today.
I think what I really have forgotten is how to place the shoulder rest without ending up with a nasty bruise on my collarbone. Or I'm holding the violin wrong because my back is killing me.
Lately, I've been feeling the urge to be musical. I really just want to sing out loud (but I only know one some, maybe two, well enough to sing Acapella, and I can only do so much of Over The Rainbow before I'm sick of it. Sing-along playlists seem to be pretty uninspiring to me as well)
But it's been building and building, and today I finally broke and picked up my violin for the first time in about 20 years. I'd recently taken it to be maintained/repaired because I was feeling bad about it being in storage, but I was putting off actually doing something with it.
I feel much better now I've Done a Creative! It didn't take as long as I thought it would to remember roughly how to play the notes, and I could sight read the music well enough for the beginner sheet music I found. It looks like the rest of my books are definitely from when I was still at grade 5 level, though, so I'm going to have to head to a music shop if I want to keep going.
Apologies to my neighbours, for scratching and squeaking for the better part of an hour. It was not actually a small child it was me, a 38 year old woman, playing William Tell slowly and badly.
fiber crafts is like oh you think you know how to count? think again. also count again.
for people who do not do fiber crafts, i will explain just how bad this is.
you are knitting something. it is supposed to be 50 stitches. you keep getting 51. what the hell.
you put in stitch markers every 10 stitches to keep you on track. 10 stitches, marker, 10 more, etc.
all is well for exactly 1 row
you knit 10 stitches, slide the marker over, knit 10 more, look back at the stitches you stitched, and somehow there are 11 in that last section.
how. what happened. you swear up and down you counted 10 as you did it
you count again. ok. definitely 11.
you un-knit the last section a stitch at a time until you find the renegade, fix it, proceed.
everything looks normal.
you go to knit the next row.
somehow there are 49 stitches.
that thing you fixed up above to make 11 stitches be 10 again is somehow 9.
no i don't know how either, and I've been knitting for 20 years. it happens in crochet, too, and I've been doing that for 40 years.
The only way I was able to get the will to finish my first big knitting project was to stop counting altogether. The sheer hopelessness that comes about when I have the wrong count at all times was too much to bear.
it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game
fuck it. reblog this and tell me in the tags what your favorite album is

These starlings murmurations | source
These murmurations are made by the birds following three rules:
Don’t hit another bird
keep to the center
follow the bird next to you
Starlings will do this every evening, and yet to this day scientists cannot find a cause for this behavior.
