things you were told as a child that had not truth
    #18731894 - 08/20/13 11:48 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

do any of you remember any of the shit you were taught as a child that you learned later that wasnt true? i know most will prob bring up all the drug fables, but im looking for other examples.

mine was the whole soaked towel thing. i was told that soaking a shirt or a towel in water then holding it to your mouth and nose would keep you some what safe from smoke if you were walking through a fire.

I was told if you look into the microwave while it's cooking you'll go blind.

World is filled with misinformation at every turn.. There are a lot of things I was taught as a kid that I later found to be untrue. Hard for me to cite examples, I just remember the many, many times I thought "wow, I've been wrong this whole time".

The only example I can think of at the moment is my grandma taught me an Atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God and an Agnostic is someone who is angry at God. Of course now I know the difference, but I grew up labeling myself Atheist (when I'm actually more Agnostic) because I wasn't angry with any God.. I just doubted it's existence.

Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy? Jacking off makes you grow hair on your palms (I was never told that one but I have heard it), there are some cases where a wet rage over your mouth protects you from smoke, others where it is detrimental.

Reflecting back on that, it would have been funny, but considering I was goddamned homeschooled at the time, it's just hilarious :lolsy:

I doubt his medical license was valid at the time.
My biggest lie was about religion, I just assumed because it was true because it was tv, in books and other media and everyone around me was a moderately devote Christian as I was growing up.

I became super interested in human history up till the agricultural revolution and I realised the vast amount of inconsistencies in the bible and the insanity in Christianity's history, etc. And whatever propaganda they tried to spinn didn't brain wash me, so I called it quits

do you think that not telling kids about santa is a better thing to do

like if they knew from the get go, that it was loved ones buying them the presents it might make Christmas more loving and less superficial

and get them more suited for the making/giving gifts vs getting free stuff cause its the time of year you get free stuff

would it spoil the spirit for the rest of the children when they go to school and explain what they were taught there was no santa?
