      Buzzfeed is normally very entertaining. This article however was very dumb. Don’t call an article “Things That Don’t Make Any Sense” and then list of bunch of things that are easy to figure out with common sense or a simple google search.

      #7 It may not be the case anymore, but a capital “E” in the records typically means excused. so you wouldnt use that letter for a grade. #12 is painfully obvious. the “alphabet song” the way we all learned, is set to twinkle twinkle little star. thats how you have to say it to make the letters match up with the song. and #21 its because they are finger food. obviously. other people nailed the simple explanations of all the others. this list is a complete and utter fail. to quote billy madison..”what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. “

      Most of these are easily explainable.
      #1 A square box is significantly easier to make rectangular than circular; Have you ever tried to make dough into a square? Not easy. Also, easier to cut; with the circular shape a triangular piece is the only way to evenly distribute the pizza.
      #2 There are generally more people in college than in elementary school-more room; more space. Also, most colleges are going to computers which need less space to be used.
      #3 I don’t know about you, but mine usually work rather well?
      #4 You can write faster. It was invented before computers and typing quickly.
      #5 It’s the human response. Generally, when something isn’t working our response is to do it again. Doing it again turned into doing it faster and again with good results. Good results lead to a pavlov effect in which our minds tell us to repeat actions in order to garner results. Harder is just an effect of faster. Another explanation-Perhaps the button didn’t work once so to press harder would be to stimulate the board correctly and thus get it to work?
      #6 I like the other commentators response-vanity. To fix one’s makeup or clean oneself up.
      #7 Some places do use E, it’s just a matter of preference. F is generally associated with failure so…
      #8 There are two legs.
      #9 It’s a vocal expression of the release of endorphins one experiences when stretching.
      #10 Fun-sized. It’s made for kids. Handed out at parties. Cheaper. It’s easy to come up with some explanation for this one.
      #11 I’m going to reiterate what the other commenter said; in french it’s pronounced dooble-vay.
      #12 Easier to memorize for children. Also, all those letters are easy to say together. They roll of the tongue and thus are easy to mash together.
      #13 Habit.
      #14 It’s a bigger fucking key and we hit it harder.
      #15 Why is Santa always an old man that crawls down the chimney while we’re sleeping to give little children presents? Everything is creepy if you make it.
      #16 “Heads up” as in “look out” or as in “look at what the fucks coming towards your face”
      #17 Genetics and personal style?
      #18 The star is a relatively difficult shape because of the proportions between the different lines. The inside lines help us to keep the proportions in order.
      #19 Kids. That’s why it’s called fucking Kidz Bop.
      #20 It would be a shit load of work to recreate each different character with a new outfit. Also, the outfits make them easier to recognize and thus much more easier to market.
      #21 They look like mutated fingers. You also eat them with fingers?
      #22 It’s cheap, legal, easy to get, and provides an intense high. Why the fuck not? Besides a shit load of brain damage..
      #23 Sex tapes and nosy people. Also because of all of us who hate them continually hating on them. The more something is hated the more famous it becomes.
      #24 It’s essentially saying “hi” and ” I’m looking at your facebook page”

      in french it’s pronounced dooble-vay, as in double v. we just like to be different, and as for the others……well, if you’re having trouble with any of them then you’re just a fucking moron.

      whoever created this page is clearly a moron most of these things are easily explainable! Once again 10 points for america YAY!!!

      The alphabet thing is because of the friggin’ song. Cartoons wear the same clothes every episode because it’s easier for the animators. And it’s supposedly a new trend among teens to guzzle hand sanitizer because people love a good moral panic.

      #4: For writing one’s signature. It looks really, really stupid in print.
      #7: Many colleges use E instead of F.
      #12: Because you memorize it by rote, through a cognitive process known as chunking (in this case, grouping together a chunk of letters so that the whole string of them is possible to memorize).
      #13: Very, very out-of-touch (with both popular culture AND reality) parents and grandparents.
      #20: And the alternative would be creating new outfits for every single character, every day that passes—even within an episode? That’s just too much work.

      Why do you pay a toll on a FREEway? It’s not free?

      most of these make so much sense if you have a brain.

    • Grayson a year ago

      Your original “content” these days is fucking terrible and you should all stop. This list, like all your other “mind blowing did-you-ever-think-about” lists, is misguided, misinformed, and pointless. You know what doesn’t make sense? THIS LIST!

    • Ha. I actually rather liked this post. Oh well.

    • derricke a year ago

      I thought Obama as president would have been number one.

      Elamenopy - Adj - Distress. The tornado left the town in a state of elamenopy.

    • Is there a “meh” reaction? There should be a “meh” reaction for posts like this.

    • Harith a year ago

      12. I think it’s because “LMNOP” is the only sequence in the alphabet that makes phonetic sense. It sounds like a word.

    • CreamK a year ago

      5. Because most remote controller buttons are made of pressure sensing material (soft “rubbery” contact surface pressing on a flat hard contacts) and the harder you press, the better the contact and the less resistance. When batteries are running out, the voltage drops all across the board and light presses of buttons aren’t always registered anymore…

      21. Because they’re made to be eaten with your fingers and are shaped such that they no longer resemble any part of a chicken.

    • gcsapo a year ago

      just wanted to add…even though codytylerk pretty much did the job….is that in England we have grade E.

      Great Gallagher hunk from 1985! What happened to locks on 24-hours stores & park in driveway, drive on a parkway?
