Uh... I learned that when I was a kid thanks to a cartoon series that explained how the body works in a friendly manner for children. Did you really need to get to the college to learn that kidneys filter your blood to produce the urine?
Does it really matter when people learn it as long as they learn new thing
If you learn it from the same source as where you learn that earth is flat...
filtering usually means removing the unwanted particles, not the medium itself
Was it the Jiminy Cricket series? I mostly remember the one about your ears, but there's You And Your Food, The Living Machine, and also The Human Animal, one of those might have the kidneys
I wonder what kids learn in schools in the USA, it seems they discover the most basic stuff in college. No mystery why Trump won the votes of masses of high school dropouts.
I think they learn how to hide from an armed gunman? Idgi
That’s just their culture at this point
I went to college and even I didn't learn this.
It's a joke about education respectively the lack of it.
