Unrealistic reality

[Spinozaad]

That bullets cause sparks when they impact say asphalt.

Cars that explode in a huge fireball.

And my favorite beeing knocked back by a bullet.
One of Newton's laws of motion, I think it's the second or third one outright proves that to be knocked of your feet by a bullet would the force produced would have knock the one holding the gun over from massive recoil.

Of course, this would make actual warfare hilarious.

That tulips, windmills and agrarian society are typically Dutch. Tulips are from Turkey, windmills are from everywhere (but the Dutch did have a lot of them, that is true) and the Republic of the Seven United Provinces was, argueably, the first urbane society of the modern period. Excluding, only, the Italian City-states.

That unicorns arent badass.


That is such a bold faced lie, there is nothing more badass than a pink unicorn disemboweling an orc with its front hooves and impaling the corrupt politician while at the same time trampling the armies of mordor/any evil guys into a pool of blood and dust all the while giving children tasty candied treats and farting rainbows and having *insert favorite hero* riding said unicorn in full battle regalia with the sword of *insert awesome name* as a scantily clad women rides ares around this figurative god.

Eat your heart out internet.

The British are bad guys or idiots. We're really not that bad!

No, the only bad thing about you are your teeth.

Hell, Britain gave us Monty Python, they can't be bad!

I can't remember what website it was on, but they did a study that showed Britain actually have the best teeth. It had something to do with banishing myths, like the French being cowards too.

We only use 10% of our brains... That one pisses me off so much, mostly because of how aggresively my friends will argue about it with me.

Remember, kids, even directly showing evidence to your friends is usually not enough to prove something!

Ahhh, yes! I had a good idea it was either Cracked or that MSN news thingy.

Tell things which everyone believes is true but really only is in fiction.

Ill start with gunshots being very very loud.Apparently they sound more like firecrackers.


And no,you cant just link the tvtropes reality is unrealistic page

They are loud, they just don't make "Boom!" noises.

Also, people don't tend to die instantly, killing someone is quite messy. Even a headshot might not kill someone...
