This is absolutely necessary for anyone born before ~1985. I have so many “random facts” memorized from pre-internet days, and many of them have turned out to be half-right hearsay or straight up incorrect when faced with fact-checking.
Your tongue does not use different parts to taste different things. They taught that shit at school, they had infographics and everything.
