I feel like you're lying, but I don't know enough about middle names to dispute it.
Although, Washington didn't have a mustache. That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
And there's never been a president with purple hair. Harris, I'm lookin' at you. Be bold!
That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
Oddly enough that was ALSO John Quincy Adams...
Ok. Not really. He was the first to have sideburns.
Lincoln was the first to have a beard.
Grant was the first to have a mustache.

Of course Wikipedia has the list of US presidents with facial hair. Because why not
What's the presidential tattoo situation?
That would be Lyndon B. Johnson, who is said to have had a hell of a tramp stamp.
Is that what he was always showing people?
No. It was his Johnson.
He named it "Jumbo"
I believe both of the Roosevelts had the same tattoo, of their family crest
as an expert in middle names (been working with them my whole life) i can confirm it is true
As someone who works with middle names, maybe you can't tell but this middle name is in a lot of distress.
OK what was it then? I've heard him being called John Quincy S. Adams at a local museum. Do you know what the S stands for?

"Went back 8 years later after"
Words hard.
I also don't never proof-read my shit posting on the internet tbh
I just about exclusively Lemmy from mobile, and auto carrot hates my guts. I end up sounding illiterate most of the time
While looking up what his middle name was, I learned that the tradition of middle names did not become widespread in the US until the 1830s. Interesting.
What I want to know is what's up with two-name first names like Mary Jo or Betty Lou. Did that happen before or after the invention of middle names?
So nice we named her twice
Maybe the museum exhibit was about his nephew?

I wonder if this is a possible explanation for the mandela effect
There's already an explanation for the Mandela effect, it's that our memories are extremely fallible and more affected by our view/environment as opposed to facts than most people believe.
Still, this could have possibly made a mini localised Mandela effect
People walking in from parallel dimensions to mess with others? Likely.
