inMy mom said my book club "read the book wrong" and now I can't stop thinking about it
Had this exact thing happen with my sister in law and a book we both read, she kept saying the whole thing was about family and I was so stuck on the plot twist that I never even saw it. Turns out she was right and I felt kind of dumb for arguing so hard about who did what. Now I try to ask what the book made everyone feel before we get into the details, and honestly it makes the talks way better.

inMy brother said set the router timer to 9pm and I fought him on it for 6 months
My router has been on a 9pm schedule for two years now and I still sit there at 9:01 staring at my phone like it personally betrayed me. The first week I actually walked around the house holding my phone up to every corner hoping for a stray bar, which is a thing a grown adult should not do. My trick now is I keep a book on the couch so when the wifi dies I just grab it instead of having a tiny meltdown. Ten minutes later I'm fine, but those first ten minutes are rough.

inI finally found the missing island from my 1748 map and it took 11 months
Your buddy is wrong and you're right. Old mapmakers were actually pretty careful, they just drew what was there at the time, and islands wash away all the time. There's a whole thing in the Chesapeake where people lost islands to storms and erosion back in the 1800s and those maps turned out to be dead on. A footnote in an 1804 log backing you up is way better evidence than "well it looks weird." So yeah, count it. The map was right, the sea just won.
