Here are 15 'subtle signs' people notice.]( "You can understand both sides of an issue and still think one is wrong." There is a big difference in how highly intelligent people communicate versus those with smaller IQs. [A Redditor named]( Occyz wanted to know how people tell the difference by asking them to share the “subtle” signs that [someone is very intelligent.]( The question was a big hit on the forum, receiving[over 3,700 responses.]( [Read the story]( [British man in U.S. explains why Americans aren’t 'well-traveled’ and it’s so true]( “I don’t think people really understand the size and scale of America.” [Americans are known for many things](, some of which are mostly true (we do tend to be open and friendly, though not all of us are) and some of which are exaggerated stereotypes (we're not all obsessed with guns, though some of us are). But one stereotype that isn't exaggerated is that Americans aren't as ["well-traveled"]( as our [friends across the pond](—at least not in the international sense. The United States has an overall level of wealth that enables many citizens to [travel to other countries](, but Americans are less likely to be traveled internationally than Europeans—a reality that might make some assume Americans just aren't compelled to travel as much.

Is there one person in your household who makes most of the [domestic decisions]( and then delegates tasks to a support member? If so, then you’re probably familiar with the “nag paradox,” even if you’ve never heard it explained that way. More often than not, in heterosexual relationships,[wives carry]( the [domestic mental load]( and the husband is a support member taking orders. Eventually, this dynamic can become toxic when the wife has to tell the husband repeatedly to do a task, or it isn’t accomplished to her liking. [Laura Danger](, a mother of two in Chicago, Illinois, is a licensed educator, certified coach, and content creator who counsels couples on emotional labor. She recently released a video that perfectly explains this paradox and how it affects partners differently.

Gotta hand it to [Gen Z](—their tech savviness and sarcastic humor is a potent combination for comedy. Add to that a blatant disregard for [workplace]( decorum, and you’ve got a recipe for some grade A viral [entertainment](. [Mike Hege,](a realtor at [Pridemore Properties]( in North Carolina, recently learned this after asking the company's 27-year-old video marketing manager to make a video for his Instagram and TikTok pages. The employee did as asked, but took on some, shall we say…creative touches that Hege certainly didn’t expect. As the phrase “Asked my Gen Z employee to edit a video for me, and this is what I got!” appears on screen, viewers witness a compilation video made entirely of Hege taking various inhales, presumably before going into whatever spiel he had intended to be recorded.
