On set, were you called Hermitwo?

That doesn't mean that everyone is huge. Average guys just buy whatever they see in the supermarket and don't have to look for a company that specialises in different sizes. Big ones are kinda harder to find in shops, and it's super embarrassing to buy them if you look nerdy because you'll get weird skeptical looks from the cashier.

My question comes with a "fun" story:

Before my first time, I had no idea about what I needed, my instinct was to measure and search for that specifically. But everywhere I looked, it said that one size fits all, and that the sizes are just a marketing thing or whatever. So I believed that, thinking that so many people can't be simultaneously talking out of their butts.

So I got the most basic generic looking ones from a well known brand I could find, assuming that it should be fine. When it actually came to the time to use it, it didn't go on, not even a bit. In this moment, I decided that there must be something wrong with me, and that I've probably wasted the time of the girl I was with, and that I should go live in a cave as a hermit, away from functioning humans. I was literally a moment away from explaining this to her and about to apologise to her, when she told me that I needed a different size. I was extremely sceptical, but agreed to try anyway. So we just did other stuff, and the next time we met, she had some of a different size. These actually went on, and I didn't become a cave hermit.

I still see many people online spreading the one-size myth, any post on Reddit relating to condoms is immediately full of "I put one on my arm once" and various snarky remarks. I've even heard of sex-ed classes being taught in a way that reinforces the myth. If my partner hadn't been as smart, I would have entirely given up on sex and dating, so I don't even want to imagine how many guys have had the bad outcome.

So my question is this, how can people dispel this nonsense myth, when any company trying to make different sizes gets it referred to as a marketing gimmick, and any individual gets told they're a lier or trying to show off?

If a tree falls in a forest and only an AI is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Where were the farthest known Viking expeditions? Everyone knows North America, but where else did they reach? Did they ever go south of the equator?

Also, considering where the Angles and Saxons and Jutes came from and that they started off as raiders and mercenaries, why are they not considered Vikings?

And finally, what's your favourite Viking name?
