I used to believe that if you just work hard you’ll get ahead in life
I always thought cigarettes contain tar, as in the substance asphalt on the road is made from. It always felt weird to me, why would they put it in the cigarettes but I figured maybe they need it so the tobacco doesn’t fall out or something.
Wait, they don’t contain tar?
In the same way that they don’t contain ash. The tar and ash are produced by combustion.
That the Mormon god was totally real
Trees make wind because whenever there was wind, they moved.
Ass cheeks were shit tanks.
Daaaaamn gurl swing them big ole shit tanks!
Old people were always old
That god(s) exist(s).
When I was six years old or so, my sister called me a “cosweb” and told me it was the worst thing ever. I completely believed her for a long time.
That my family cared about me and supported me.
There absolutely can, and in many cases should, be a difference between your blood family, and your adult family.
The former was chosen for you. The latter should only be chosen by you. I can easily tell you that excising certain siblings, aunts and uncles, and a specific cousin, from my life, my life has far less stress than it used to in my 20s. Now that I tell people that “this is my boundary, try to cross it at your own peril,” and actually hold the line, I have far more family than what I was born into.
That enough hot water bath could work just as well as sunbathing for getting a tan. Hey, both things can burn your skin, it’s perfectly logical!
That my parents knew what they were doing, made good choices, and were reasonable people.
No, no, … and no.
That I’d grow up to eat candy, collect baseball cards, play video games, and read comic books.
No (type II diabetes runs in my family), no (wtf is a baseball card anyway), no (video games were replaced with homework permanently), and — well, actually — yes.
I love a good comic book, graphic novel, and/or animated series.
The crust on bread had more nutrients than the center. My dad didn’t want to cut my crusts off lol.
My uncle always swapped the words breast and best so my cousin mixes them up sometimes to this day. He said ‘breast friend’ at his brother’s wedding
The crust doesn’t, but for the love of all that is good and scientific, stop peeling your veggies people! Carrots and potatoes especially. Almost all the nutritional value is in the skin of those two, and probably most other, other than peanuts, legumes.
Just remember to thoroughly wash the skin, and cut out any “eyes” on the potatoes or potential small scale rotting. Pesticides aren’t something that your gut wants anything to do with.
Almost all the nutritional value is in the skin
Uhhhh, you might want to look that one up. For some veg, there is more fibre in the skin, but that’s about it.
I’m a chef that has studied nutrition as much as I can, for green and leafy veggies that is absolutely true, but those aren’t the ones that people normally skin.
The legumes that I specifically pointed out have a ton of vitamins that concentrate in the skin specifically, and those are the “vegetables” that the layman has a tendency to skin. The center is mostly starch and sugar.

When I was young and hanging with my great aunt’s church friends, we were walking to the store. I went to link arms with my great aunt and her friend was like, “Hey, that’s dangerous. You can’t defend yourself. Someone could jump you.” From that point, I assumed that anyone who was linking arms was, like, giving a show of dominance. Like, “Yeah, we’re linked up, because we can still take anybody even with only one arm.” Didn’t change that mindset until I was in middle school after I tried to explain to my friend how dangerous walking with her boyfriend was because “how would they defend themselves.” 🙃
I believed that you’d only get a finite amount of words in your life. So I didn’t speak much and I would think that the annoying kids in school that always were talking through the teacher’s explanation, would get their punishment later in life when they’d go mute because they would have used up all their words.
Sounds like a lie parents would tell their kids to get them to shut up.
