And also that whenever tabloid articles on MSN talked about “[washed up supermodel]’S BUTT CRACKED” I thought they meant that they had a bone fracture instead of their ass slipping out a bit too much
i thought that pregnancy was caused when a man and a woman slept in the same bed. the “seed” left the man in the night and went inside of the woman under its own volition. i understood the general ideas of sexual reproduction (i knew that a sperm had to get in an egg and so on) but had no concept of the mechanics of how it happened
I noticed there was always a gust of wind after cars passed, so I concluded wind was caused by invisible cars driving by. Storms were caused by the invisible drivers driving too fast.
I used to go outside during storms and yell at them to slow down. I was convinced it was working.
lol, never even been to a real city in my entire life. Literally the most populated place I’ve ever been to doesn’t even crack a population of 50k people, and the most populated place I ever lived was a tenth of that. Been a small town girl my whole life.
Definitely heard the trees thing as a kid though, I’d just already been told that trees were being blown around by the wind, but nobody could tell me that cars were being blown around by the wind I felt when I saw them, so that’s why I concluded it must be the cars that were responsible for the wind.
I learned how planes work before cars, so since faster cars always had more exhaust pipes than slower cars I presumed the concept of thrust was similar to a jet engine and had no idea that the wheels themselves were powered until I mentioned it when I was like 6-7.
Least unreasonable childhood belief. There are horses. There are animals with horns. Why not a horse with a horn?
I think I actually recall a radio show where a guy thought unicorns were real up until his mid 20s. Not that he thought they were magic or anything, just that there was a horse-like animal with one horn that actually existed and was probably endangered or something.
That an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being created all of existence, knew everything that would ever happen and everything its creations would ever do, but still either doomed to damnation or lifted up to paradise each one of them as a result of them doing exactly what they’d been programmed to do
