Pro tip: Have a fact-checker on standby for book club. We spent half an hour arguing if penguins are in the Arctic. (They're not.)

Bet that felt like a polar bear at a beach party.

That polar bear at a beach party line is perfect. You just know it would be standing there all confused, probably wondering where all the ice went. Honestly, that's exactly the vibe of finding out a fact you believed for years is totally wrong. Just a complete and hilarious mismatch, like a penguin trying to order a drink at a tiki bar.

Totally believed they were up there too for the longest time. Saw a nature doc that showed the whole penguin scene is way down south. Felt pretty dumb, but it makes sense when you see how different the poles are. Now that fact is stuck in my head forever. Honestly wish I had that fact checker years ago.
