That there’s a loving God.
Now it seems clear that even if he did exist, he’s just above average asshole
I would argue that they would be fully evil depending on your definition of god.
In my case, the abrahamic one. Narcissistic asshole
Ya that one is evil.
There was a place by the beach called Helenback.
My siblings and I in the car: Where are we going?
Mum (shouting): Hell and back!
I was an adult before I realised it had another name.
That prayers appease god to make things better.
I don’t think we could classify it as “false belief” since we can’t verify that statement.
We can verify that prair has no effect and is at best a placebo.

This removed comment said “That I could have being a successful adult when I grow up, falling in love, making with my own family, and have a job.”
Volcanos being caused by overpopulation in hell.
I thought elevator shafts were the gateway to hell
I believed that peas were the pupa of something similar to a butterfly or a moth. I refused to eat peas for years because I felt so bad eating little baby critters. I think my aunt might’ve “encouraged” me to think that.
They are suspiciously similar in color and conceptually to Metapod the Pokémon
I thought that dogs were boys and cats were girls. No idea why.
Its funny, my niece made it to like 8 thinking that aunts were adults and uncles were kids. She had one young uncle, and me. Called me “Auntie Phanto.” I still haven’t lived it down.

This fits well with the accidental mild misandry in Catholic school when we learned about differences between men and women. One of the books we had to read said something like “men consistently outperform their female counterparts at making almost miraculously stupid decisions”
Dogs = boys due to energetic, clumsy and loud.
Cats = girls due to classy, well-behaved and quiet.
I’d guess it would be a trend similar to saying girls play with dolls and boys play with action figures.
I thought that
apt-getwas a wrapper around theaptcommandIt’s not?
Ah, the innocence of youth.
Wait… Someone explain things to me!
Today I learned that
aptis likeapt-getbut newerWhen I started on Debian, there was only apt-get. (And dpkg if you manually pulled .debs from somewhere).
Then a little while later, there was aptitude, which was nice.
apt the command didn’t show up until 2014.
They just can’t make it easy
I used to think that hair grew when it was watered - like a plant - and therefore showering was what allowed your hair to grow. No one ever told me that, I just assumed it to be true at a young age.
I swear a social studies teacher told us that most rivers tend to flow north to south. Young impressionable child I was, I of course filed it away as a long-term core memory – right there next to PEMDAS, FOIL, and so on.
Then I mentioned it in college and got fucking embarrassed.
Similar, I had one declare rivers flow towards the equator. Which is slightly better than claiming they all flow N to S, but still inaccurate.
Rivers flow downhill. That’s it. In case anyone else needs to check their mental model of the world.
I was taught the same. I got extra credit for memorizing that the Nile River was a “notable exception”.
While I didn’t go to school in Texas, our school district used material developed there. It figures.
I didn’t understand time zones, but heard about “losing” or “gaining” hours when flying, so I thought that time moved differently while you flew, depending on if you were flying with or against the spin of the Earth.
That America was the greatest country in the world. And truly, not trying to be political, but honestly the propaganda in Midwest America was real. I didn’t know anything about other countries - except for we were better. We figured it out, we built the best system ever and everyone else wanted to be like us.
Now those are the people I see overseas who are about to get punched in a pub.
That midwest propaganda is still around, just chewed out a coworker who said they’d be fine with everyone in Ukraine dying so that the US can ‘have more money’ and ‘be independant’
How did they react to you calling them out?
They shut up luckily enough
I thought that women drank tea and men drank coffee, because that was what my mum and dad did.
Looking at my mum, dad and sisters drinking habits I can confirm this is true. Also, I’m NB and don’t drink either
I thought the moon had a face. Like, as a kid, I would look at the moon and in my mind the craters formed what clearly seemed as two eyes and a mouth.
when i was a child, i was told that i would get worms if i ate raw brown sugar. i believed this for quite some time at least until i was 12.
Username checks out
Woah, that unlocked a memory of how my parents said giving sweets to our dog would give him worms. Wonder how that pervaded so widely.
Chocolate and diarrhea
