Were you really 17 or is that a typo?OmniscientOstrich said:
Hmmm... what did i believe in....
- My brother used to believe that if you opened all the car doors, it would fly.
- I used to believe that to give birth, doctors would cut the mother's stomach open in surgery (i learned the truth from some kids my father knew, go midly annoyed with my mom for not telling me this)
- You got pregnant by kissing (When my friend told me how babies were born, i watched a video with him about it where it showed two little cartoon creatures connecting to create the baby, this looked like it went through the mouth. That made me believe for a while that when you were kissing, you'd feel a little worm like creature go into the girls mouth)
- I was originally an Athiest for most of my life until my mother went completely conspiracy theory crazy and pushed her beliefs into my gullible brain. I pushed all those beliefs and ideas out a few years later once i started realising how crazy some of the things she was saying were and i now ignore controversal topics she brings up today.
- That my family was rich.
- That my mother was nice (I think all the conspiracies she believes in made her really stubborn and intolerant, i also think it's the reason why she divorced)
That got dark quick.
It was a joke dude. I honestly didn't think people would take that at face value. XD I think I would have been about 5/6 when I bought into the whole world used to be black and white thing and with the Obi-Wan encounter I...christ, I guess must have been 7...that's still actually a pretty embarrassing age to be incapable of setting apart reality and fiction.

[Insert rimshot here] Heh, I think even as stupid as I was back then I probably picked up on the fact that he'd be suspiciously a hell of a lot less nimble then he was in the film.adamsaccount said:
Oooh. That was so edgy I almost...Wait, you know what? I was gonna make some kind of "edge" pun, but I think I'll just post this image instead.Hoplon said:
You know, because you're so edgy.
OT: Well....Like most kids, I had a hard time imagining that things existed before I did. So I thought that movie theaters were invented around the same time I saw I movie in one for the first time. At one point, I also thought that real life was supposed to look like a cartoon, and there was something wrong with my eyes because I couldn't see the little black lines around everything.
I used to believed that milk came from plant just because this flower had white liquid when I broke the stern (I think it was a dandy lion or not?) that is until I tasted that white liquid...
Same here!Casual Shinji said:
There was one time when i was still under the age of ten (Can't remember exactly when) when i had ended up learning about the big bang theory (NOT THE SHOW DAMNIT!)
Naturally i was a bit confused about how an explosion created the world and the universe so i went to one of my cousins about it and tried to get him to explain it. He actually tried to explain it after i pressed him and i naturally got lost...eventually my cousin decided on this little idea:
He basically said the earth was formed because The autobots and decepticons fought. They fought this final battle and it ended with EVERY Decepticon and Autobot punching with all the power they had at the same time. Strangely, all their fists collided with one another and this caused an explosion so great it not only destroyed both of them but it caused the remains of the autobots and decepticons to become the planets and the moon. He explained the sun was what was left of the explosion, and that because all planets are made from the autobots AND decepticons that it was the source of all the metal in the world.
I ended up believing this for a little while...i still think it's one of the best creation myths ever.
For the longest time I believed that the sounds coming from my walls were the walls speaking to me, little did I know that were my neighbors. (This was when I was a kid of course...)
I thought that:
1. alcohol was an evil poison
2. gay people did not exist, they were just a fairy tale.
3. Mum had magic bowls which were always filled with custard.

For some reason I thought that orange juice gave you diarrhea. I still keep my intake very monitored even now...
Oh and some pretentious, snarky comment about religion to make myself feel intellectually buff.
Yeah, I used "buff". Whatcha gon' do?

When I was younger, I believed that blowing on dandelions would grant wishes, and I used to wish that the dinosaurs would come back.
...I was a stupid kid, okay?!

I assumed women peed out of their butts as a child, since I knew they didn't have penises, but didn't know about vaginas. I knew women sat to pee, so my logical conclusion was they pee out of their butts.
I also thought making out meant having sex. And I thought doggystyle sex was anal only.
For something not sex-related...
I got nothin'. I wasn't under that many illusions about other things as a kid. Other than your usual culturally-ingrained sexism and stupid immature notions of race.

I'm guessing they lived in an area where sex ed wasn't mandatory schooling.Vault101 said:
We learnt it every two years since being 8.
Not sure why it took so long to teach us though. Sex ed is basically just about fertilisation, and later a little about health. I guess they didn't want young people knowing that deep early on.
Two things:
1 - Every horror movie I watched, I believed that the murderer got into my house somehow every night and was lurking in the dark, waiting for me to leave my room to kill me.
2 - My sisters would tell me that I was adopted and my real parents were aliens named Na Na and Ta Ta and were coming back to get me in their spaceship.

but this isnt sex ed...this is knowing guys and girls have different parts....I cant remember a time where I didnt know that, I dont think I knew what sex was untill I was 10Palademon said:
which is why it completly baffles me how somone can reach 18 and not know that boys and girls have different parts,
I didn't know the meaning behind the songs Master of Puppets (Metallica), Flying High Again(Ozzy), Crazy Babies (Ozzy), Sweet Leaf (Black Sabbath) and many other songs about drugs until relatively late. I found out about Master of Puppets being about drugs in middle school (2002 or so). I found out about Flying High Again being about drugs a few months ago (I'm nearly 25).

When you die, if you've lived a long enough life, you're given a Tardis-like room which is infinitely large where you are able to create your own universe. Once made you are free to shrink down or scale up to interact with your own little creations.
I thought Dungeons and Dragons was something that people used to do before video games and, once Video Games became a big thing in homes, everybody stopped playing D&D forever. I didn't think I would ever play a game of D&D or anything similar and I'm glad I was wrong about that.
Cartoon and Comic characters existed. Furthermore I thought Clowns were their own sub-species of humanity.
Finding out that we as humans didn't have colonies on the Moon or Mars was probably worse for me than finding out Santa Clause didn't exist. Finding out Dragons didn't exist was also really jarring to my young world view.
I didn't know California and/or Orlando and/or New York City was where every TV show was filmed. It disappointed me that I would probably never be on any of the shows I loved as a kid like Legend of the Hidden Temple or Nick Video Arcade...
