Hey Pandas, What Is One Thing You Believed As A Kid That Turned Out To Be Completely And Totally False? (Closed)

I thought that there was a time dome somewhere that kept all the time. When the power would go out (before the internet and smartphones!!!) you'd have to call this phone number to get the correct time to reset all your clocks. It would say beep and then say "at the tone the time will be...." and then another beep and on and on it would go. Well I very much heard as a child "at the dome" so I just thought there was some giant time dome somewhere and that's what we called. Haha it took maaaaaany years to figure out it said tone and not dome. 🤣🤣🤣

That being honest, reliable, educated, trustworthy, and a hard worker will get you what you want out of life.

LMAOROFL!!!! Was THAT ever the biggest freeking LIE!!!! Geez!!

When we die, our skeletons would be reused for scientists of the future... bottom line; we don’t get that privilege.

That "outland" is an actual country

when i thought casper was real.....

I used to believe that co-educated bathroom means that the tiles are nice. Don’t ask me why I believed that. I was 22 when a friend of mine enlightened me. “How are the toilets in this pub?””Well co-educated” “you mean there are men and wemen in the same bathroom???” “No, I mean the tiles are nice...” An emberrassing conversatuon followed...And come to think of it I actually learned latin in school...

That we grew feathers when we turned 7. My mom told my brother that to fool him and he actually believed it! So when he was asleep she burst open a pillow and spread the pillows on him and told him that he had grown and shed the feathers overnight. I'm 3 years younger than him and she tried it on me. I believed it for a while until it was all cleared up lol.

My mum told me if I brushed my teeth with warm water they would melt!!???

My mom fooled me that a cement factory was peanut butter and jam factory. I didn't figure it out until we went there on a school field trip, and boy did I look stupid.

After learning about atoms in the 2nd grade, my best friend and I thought the dots moving around in our vision when we looked up at a blue sky were atoms of the air. We'd often exclaim to each other that we could see atoms! But really they're just white blood cells moving through the eye, which I suspected later in life, but just thought to look up after reading this feature!

Because of cartoons, I believed islands floated around freely in the ocean, unattached to anything else. And that turtles could just take off their shells, like a coat. Stupid cartoons,

That is you left toys out during a snowstorm that they melted with the snow

If you kiss a boy on the lips then you would get pregnant...... Yes I really did believe this

that fish breath by splitting water molecules to get the oxygen.

When I learned about the Gold Rush in California while living in California I dug up my backyard trying to get rich.

I always thought that when you flushed an airplane toilet the waste just dropped out the back of the plane and landed wherever. I never liked using the airplane bathroom because I pitied whoever we were flying over lol

Pigeon holes at the bank for each personal account, haha

That the allies in WW1 won the battle at Gallipoli
