Reply to comment by OldMork in TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz
I’d be rolling in the money then because I can make nurses concerned with how noticeably pale I always am.

Reply to comment by WaitingForNormal in TIL that due to "Subjective Age" most children and adolescents feel older than they really are. But this switches at around 25. By age 30, around 70% of people feel younger than they really are, with the discrepancy between actual age and subjective age growing over time. by AspireAgain
I mean it depends on what happens in your 20s. For me, my 20s were very real and weren’t just transition years due to my overwhelming medical issues and how much of it I had to go through on my own. I had to grow up (more than I had already) really quickly because if I didn’t i probably would’ve died.

Reply to comment by dromni in TIL that after Leon Czolgosz was executed for assassinating US Pres. William McKinley, the prison warden poured sulfuric acid on the corpse, burned his belongings, and refused to turn over the body to Leon's brother. This was to prevent exhibitions of his life by archfapper
That’s not the most interesting thing that happened to a president. One of them got stuck in the bathtub because he was so fat and they somehow got him out and had to buy a bigger tub and replace the tub he got stuck in.
