Things you believed all your life that turned out to be wrong.

[Vault boy Eddie]

What is something you believed to be true all your life and then one day just found out that it was just plain ole wrong? For me it would have to be tonsils. I used to think tonsils was the little hanging thing in the back of your throat(the uvula).

It wasn't until I assisted in a tonsilectomy that I figured out that tonsils were at the back of the troath on either side. Obviously I didn't make a fool of myself in an OR full of doctors and nurses by admitting it. But hey, I got to hold tonsils in my hand and figure it out like that, so that was cool.

You know that this thread will get religious real fast? *Edit* See? What did I tell you.

I believed that playing guitar was easy for my entire life... then I picked it up.

I used to think Pluto was a planet.

We all did brother, we all did. It turned out to be one big fat LIE!

I used to think I was the only real person in this world, and that the people around me were merely faulty cyborg AI's.

It made perfect sense until I was 13, and one of the fleshy robots beat me in a logic game. I deduced that they were human, just very stupid, and as such I resolved to put my self near the other smart fleshy robotsHumans.

I used to think I was sane.

I can't really think of anything. I guess used to think socializing and going to parties was fun. I see the light now.

For awhile I thought Texas wasn't part of the US.

Boy did I fell so retarded when I found out the truth.

I used to think I was a total genius, and everyone was below me.

Ha! I'm average at best, probably below. I suck at exams, and I can't expand on opinions to save my life.

I think I'm probably better off without those pretensions.

I was the same till I encountered university grade math. I then realized that I am but a little girl.

My cat went to live on a farm. Lies! I had to do some work in the yard (digging up dirt to help my moms plant her flowers) and I found his gave.

I used to believe that democracy was good. Somehow politicians managed to eff that up for me. Stupid reality anyway.

For a very long time I believed that devs/musicians/actor/directors etc...actually did things for the fans. But they don't. Look at all the sequels that come out that kill a great legacy. It's all for the money. But I learned to live with it and just don't attach the love any more.

i used to believe good people got screwed over less.

Up until a couple months ago, I though rock was not very effective against rock. Turns out I was wrong...

So there was this eagle-robot dude (I forgot his name) in Bomberman 64 that helped you throughout the game. I never beat Bomberman 64 though, so I didn't find out that he betrayed you until years later after watching a random youtube video. I went through a good chunk of my life thinking he was a good guy. Looking back it seems pretty obvious that he was just using you, but back when I played it I wasn't genre savy enoguh to notice such things.

I also used to have a very pessimistic outlook on society, believing the average person to be a drooling moron. Thank god I got some real world experience and stopped thinking that way.

That silencers on guns actually make them almost whisper quiet. Trust me, games like CoD and action movies make them out like that but in Norway I fired my mates sniper rifle. I was all sure it wouldn't be too bad with the silence on but bloody hell my ear felt like it had just exploded.

I also read somewhere (although I can't remember where) that a silence on a pistol (don't know which one and it might have been an MP5 instead) make it as quiel as the speakers from a Marilyn Monroe concert.
