When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.

That cats and dogs were the same animal, the cats were the girls and the dogs were the boys
I was gonna add this one until I found this. So you weren’t the only one.
…there are at least three of us!..
I had a friend who thought sparrows were baby pigeons
That’s funny
That the Empire State Building is a restaurant named Empire Steak Building.
Me ordering the ribeye.
Wait… wait… [chewing] he’s got a point
Surely there’s a chain of restaurants or butcher shops in New York called Empire Steak, right?
New York city was the size of the whole state. Like the entire thing looked like manhattan.
Growing up, we had a neighbor in the Air national guard who was a boom operator on KC-135 refuelers, meaning he controlled the boom that comes out the back of the airplane and transfers fuel to other aircraft. The boom operator lays face down on a bench and looks out a window in the back of the plane to control the boom.
When I learned that they “operate on their belly”, I somehow interpreted that to mean he performed medical operations on people’s bellies.
It didn’t even make sense to me at the time but I figured there must be some special reason that the operation had to be done while airborne and I was impressed that our neighbor was not only a doctor but an airborne surgeon who specialized in this one belly surgery that couldn’t be done on the ground.
I ran up to my mom once, completely serious and said, “Mom! I know why all fat people are short. They use up all their skin!”
I felt like a genius until she laughed so hard she fell on the floor and peed a little.
My daughter recently asked me “ladybugs are good? Because they eat orphans?” And after a moment of stifled laughter and thought I said “aphids. They eat aphids and yes that makes them good because aphids will eat your plants”
That adults had it figured out.
That average people actually care about anything but themselves.
That there is justice in the world.
rice turned water into soil
I thought space rockets had to wait for. Ight to go into space. If they took off during the day whey would just go into the blue sky like planes do.
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.
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?
Da na da na da na da na Bat Eyes!
That life would be better as an adult.
That tv programming would pause when I turned the TV off.
When adults said things like “In this day and age, nobody says please and thankyou any more”, I misinterpreted “this day and age” as “The Stayan Age”, which was our current age, which obviously followed on from Bronze Age, Iron Age etc.
That a blowjob involved the act of physically blowing air on the penis. When I found out it actually involved sucking, I was like, “Oooh…yeah that sounds much more pleasurable.”
In my language the expression is “jemandem einen blasen” (to blow one to someone) and I remember reading a long time ago about a story where a teenage girl (?) actually injured her boyfriend when she blew into the penis. Seems not to be a very good idea.
In our language it’s to ‘pull’ someone ot better “jemandem einen ziehen” as we are civilised and have grammatical cases such as dative. So I hope nobody got it confused and ripped of someone’s penis.
I was so confused, I couldn’t imagine why people would enjoy that more than a “suckjob” or “headjob”. Turns out people just say whatever they want and it can mean anything.
I still don’t get why it’s called that.
Actors are dying… for real.
I remember thinking they probably just found actors who wanted to die anyway
in that same vein, i believed that if actors kissed they must have been married or in a relationship in real life
I believed my hair would blow away with sufficient wind. And it basically did, it just took 30 more years
