‘Our bones are always wet’
26 Super Obvious Things People Recently Realized

The problem with something being obvious is that no one ever feels the need to explain it. 

Unfortunately, this means that all it takes is one seed of stupidity to be planted in someone’s mind for them to blossom into an adult who believes the platypus is a mythical creature. The dumb thought will sit and fester in their mind unchecked until it’s unceremoniously broken open in the middle of an otherwise inane conversation, at which point their whole world crumbles. They can’t even vocalize their epiphany unless they want their group chat to bring it up every week until they leave this earth. 

When you consider all of those factors, these Redditors who shared their most embarrassingly obvious realizations are incredibly brave — yes, even the guy who recently came to the conclusion that our bones are always wet. He deserves a medal of honor.
