Silly things we thought of/believed in as kids

[Clippy]

I used to think that Swedish dubs of cartoons were the official ones

They were, just not outside of Sweden unless you're trying to tell us you guys had some highly skilled group of bootleggers doing dubs without Disney's knowledge. Anything's possible in the nation that gave us PirateBay I guess

...I probably could have worded that a little better

I thought 'grandma' is my grandma's name.

I believed juices from fruits are its blood.

Growing up watching tokusatsu, I believed Japan was the most unsafe place on Earth, they were being attacked by kaiju and monsters every single week.

Cola is made from licorice.

Chocolate is edible crayon.

I personally remember thinking that history had happened in black and white because we hadn't invented color yet XD

Same here!

Yeah I wasn't exactly a bright kid, still isn't.

I used to believe sonic had good games. The horror.

Thankfully Japan has nothing to fear these days.

i use to believe countries and cities were the same thing :3

Ironic for a geography nerd adjsjasdjads

 

[Swagmata]

That's so dope.

I also believed when I was very young that everything in the past was in black and white and that's why nothing was filmed in colour.

That’s actually true you were right as a kid

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

I believed the Loch-ness Monster was real.

I thought everything in the past was black and white

The silly myths that parents used to "scare" children, like the Sack man(El viejo del saco)... Although there was a real rapist mass murderer that inspired the tale.

 

[Bakuma1997]

That my country had hope

Okay, seriously, a neighbor of mine got his husband cremated, and she followed his last request to get his ashes poured in a strawberry plant next to their garden, i always watched said plant, expecting him to come back as a giant fruit or simply to revive, my parents used the "You came from a lettuce" thing wheni asked where babies come, so of course i expected it to work

Chocolate is edible crayon.

You can definitely draw with chocolate and it is, in fact, edible. I fail to see the problem here.

I first heard about Santa Claus from a cartoon. I didn't grow up in a home with a chimney, so I was confused as to how he was supposed to get in. I came to the conclusion that the stove was close enough and he would crawl out when it was time to give me my presents.

 

[Badseed]

I find it amazing that a large minority of Americans believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows

 

[Ken-Ken]

When I was young and my mother said I couldn't drink water from the bathtub or bathroom sink, my brain went to, "Yeah, cause the people above us add extra germs to the bathroom water."
I don't know why I jumped to this conclusion for my life

 

[trickybus]

"Yeah, cause the people above us add extra germs to the bathroom water."

Damn, R.I.P. the neighbors on the first floor

 

[JackNoir413]

as a kid i used to believe there was no hope for the future. until i was like 10 or something.
as an adult i realized there is hope in the future

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

I used to think that dogs eat cats

 

[Sfjeov]

broken remote, autoplay, too dumb to know how netflix work?
Nah I really thought that my tv was fucking possessed

 

[χKai]

Not gonna say, as it would only piss people off.

 

[TheWanderer]

I remember that I saw a flying calculator when I was a 2/3 years old
That memory for some reason still stuck to my head
I believed my own imagination
Kids Brains work in a mysterious ways

 

[GuyZero32k4]

Mentioned this one before in the Godzilla thread.:
After seeing King Kong vs Godzilla as a child, then watching Sanford and Son, hearing all those Godzilla crossover movie titles.
Vs Benji
Vs Lassie
Vs the Ghetto
Vs Cincinnati
Vs Big Foot
I thought "Wow, he fights anything! He must be in like over 100 movie by now!"

 

[depes]

I believed that the reason why some series' episodes were aired with a week in between the last was because they did them all from scratch in a 7 day interval. And of course, the time between seasons had to be so long because the actors needed to rest after so much crunch time

 

[solidbatman]

my grandfather used to tell us growing up that they would pay actors millions of dollars to give to their families and then actually kill the actors in the movies. so yeah, first few deaths i saw in film hit hard as a kid.

 

[Yousef]

I kept wondering why the moon was following me.
