Einstein said that if you move close to the speed of light, you’ll go forward in time. Therefore, I thought, if you go backwards at close to the speed of light, you’ll go backwards in time.
I was like 6 years old when my dad randomly told me that if a player dies during a football game, the others players have to eat him before the game can continue.
I never watched sports so I didn’t even question it lol

I do not know where I got this from, but I thought all dogs were male and all cats were female. I thought this while I had a dog named Betsy and a cat named Sebastian.
If that’s not bad enough on its own, I think I was in first or second grade when I learned the surprising truth. I wasn’t a dumb kid, either. I learned to read when I was about 3.5 yrs old and started 1st grade as a 5 yr old.
I’m now in my 70s and I still can’t figure out where I got that from!
You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it and try hard enough.
I used to believe that if you just work hard you’ll get ahead in life
That the Mormon god was totally real
Ass cheeks were shit tanks.
Daaaaamn gurl swing them big ole shit tanks!
Trees make wind because whenever there was wind, they moved.
Old people were always old
That god(s) exist(s).
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.
I’m in my 50s and playing plenty of videogames… There’s a path forward
Does the work you do, if you still work for a living, follow you home? And, if you have children, are any of them still in need of your assistance for feeding, bathing, and/or toileting?
I’m really looking forward to being in my mid-50s. My youngest will be approaching 10. By then, I should be able to reintroduce video games to my life at that point.
My work never ends and always demands more. I’ve just learned to shut it off and ignore it nights and weekends unless I have an ever critical deadline. Yes my child is an early tween and pretty self sufficient…that and a tough opponent in Super SmashBros. I’m in a pretty happy place
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.
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.
Only a cosweb would think it’s not real.
Having legit flashbacks right now…
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.
Right. Carrots and potatoes are legumes now are they? The commenter replied to you summarised it for you, and you don’t know as much as you think you do.
