We live inside the earth. Dogs say barf.
These are both subjectively true.
That a bon fire was a “bomb” fire and therefore, very loud and very dangerous.
For anyone wondering
bonfire (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/word/bonfire#etymonline_v_15587
late 14c., bonfir, banefire, “a fire in which bones are burned;” see bone (n.) + fire (n.). The original specific sense became obsolete and was forgotten by 18c. The general sense of “large open-air fire from any material for public amusement or celebration” is by mid-16c. and that of “large fire for any purpose” from 17c. also from late 14c.
I used to call it a “bomb fire” too lol.
Tigers are female lions.
they aren’t‽
Interrobang spotted. Þought I’d never see it in the wild
I’m a hwat!?
I thought our eyes worked by projecting some kind of energy beam that scanned objects, like how Superman’s X-ray vision is sometimes drawn.
Da na da na da na da na Bat Eyes!
Thank you for sharing that. It was a lot of fun to read through. At the end I was like, wait how did I end up on this wiki?
Freddy Krueger was two people. I thought it was like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. I thought it was Dr. Krueger and Freddy was the monster he created. When I saw the movie I was like where’s his creator, the one that brought him to life?
that my grandparents remembered middle ages or even the dinosaurs
That every time people had sex, the woman became pregnant. I thought that every sex scene in a film meant the film had to be stopped for 9 months until the actress could give birth.
One of my brothers was friends with a pair of twins named Eric and Ryan, but I thought that they were a single entity that somehow had two bodies known as American Ryan
Russ and Oli Gark must have a hard time fitting in
I scraped my knee and thought that putting skin-coloured paint on it would heal it
are you a Warhammer’s Orc?
I used to greet clothing store mannequins and thought that people who didn’t were very rude.
rice turned water into soil
That encountering quick sand in real life was a real possibility every day.
Bonus: My kid doesn’t believe that Santa is magical, he just has really advanced technology.
Every kid from the 80s & 90s was taught* to believe that, so I don’t blame you.

*By movies & books & games and shit, not by teachers. Well, maybe some teachers…
Clarke’s third law. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Quicksand thing is fucking stupid though.

I grew up with a family that didn’t have a lot of luxuries when I was young. We had three channels on TV, so we didn’t spend a lot of time watching TV. So I didn’t get to watch a lot of pop culture content for about the first 7 or 8 years of my life.
So one of the first memories I have as a kid is in hearing music on the radio, record player, cassette player or any sound system … I understood that it was previously recorded and performed by other people somewhere else.
What I thought was that all the sounds were generated by human voices. Guitars? Pianos? Trumpets? Brass sounds? Violins? even Drums or percussion. I thought all of it was people just making sounds with their voices.
I’m Indigenous Canadian so my parents didn’t have musical instruments, a couple of uncles played the guitar and fiddle … but by the time I was young, they no longer played these instruments and had them. I never knew or understood musical instruments really until I was about 8, 9 or ten. Up until then, I just thought all music was just people with amazing and usualy human voices.
I remember thinking radio stations had bands constantly coming in and playing songs and leaving
This is always my answer to this question. I thought radio stations must have been the busiest places with all those bands coming and going!
