Did you ever have the pleasure of proving a group of people wrong who laughed at you for saying something they thought was incorrect?

There have been several occasions where my friends and I have had a discussion, and I will say something that I think is common knowledge, and they’ll collectively laugh because they think I’m wrong. Then, after some googling, I prove them wrong and it is glorious.

Ex: One summer I mentioned that I had seen a cicada and they laughed because it hadn’t been 17 years yet. I told them that not all cicadas were born the same year and that every 17 years there’s just a more noticeable influx. Thank google.

Ex: I was talking about how Al Green is now a Reverend and they insisted that I was thinking of Al Sharpton. Thank you google.

What’s your triumph?
