I was also told the famous "if you touch a baby bird its mom will abandon it" lie- another one that I think is beneficial tbh. Kids shouldn't be grabbing baby birds. I was also told that the brown spots on leaves came from people touching them, because the oil on your fingers would hurt the plant. A pretty complex lie to tell a 7 year old, but it kept me from manhandling plants.

[@BornNoU]

Whoa the leaves lie brought back a memory. My brother I were about 7 and 9 respectively, and our family went to Natural Bridge Caverns. The tour guide told our whole tour group to avoid touching the rocks because it we touch them, the oils on our hands tarnishes them. But (I assume because it was a family tour and they wanted to impress upon us children how important it was not to touch), they used the wording “if you touch the rocks, they die”. Well we’re all ooh-ing and ahh-ing and the cave structures at first. Then about halfway through the tour, we look over and my little brother has started softly crying and he won’t tell ANYONE why or what’s going on. Bless his soul, as soon as we were back out of the finally says “we need to go to the hospital, I touched one of the rocks!” So we all look at him, trying to connect the dots, and he says “DAD I TOUCHED THE ROCKS IM GONNA DIE, THE LADY SAID SO!” There was a good long while of reassuring him that no, the rocks won’t kill us, but we could damage the rocks. Later Dad asked why he didn’t tell us as soon as he touched the rock, if that’s why he was crying? He said “I didn’t want to ruin the fun for you”. My poor baby brother spent 45 minutes underground in a cave system thinking he would die and figuring “well there’s nothing to be done about it until we’re out of this cave, might as well make the most of it”.

[@iamaylarenee]

Oh thank god about the baby bird one- I’m 24 and still believed it, and was panicking about having touched a baby bird earlier this week to get it out of the road

[@bur_n_t]

that one backfired on us because our parents genuinely believed it and we'd accidentally messed with a birds nest so we figured we had no choice but to take the birds in and raise them as our own. turns out they can't digest whole milk.

​@@qwertyleshA 2 second Google search immediately turned up a Drive article with the quote "There is no law prohibiting the use of bright interior lighting while driving in any Australian state or Territory." Apparently it's theoretically possible that a cop can decide that you're engaging in unsafe driving and charge you with a general purpose offence, but that's not going to happen from something relatively benign like a standard interior light being on, which is in practice just mildly distracting at worst in most cases.

4:38 really funny but i dont understand why our parents didnt just say "it's hard to see and we could crash" instead of "it's illegal" parents are such weirdos sometimes 😂😂

[@CobraDBlade]

That's actually exactly what my dad did with me and my siblings. Just a simple "I can't see the road with those lights on".

[@althelor]

The funny thing is, my parents never told me it was illegal, and instead just said it made it hard to see.... And I didn't believe them. Honestly even today I still don't think it makes it hard to see at all. Though what did work on me was them saying it would drain the car battery, because just one time one of my brothers left it on when we go out of the car and no one drove the car for like 2 days, so the battery was dead the next time we needed to go somewhere and they immediately blamed us leaving the light on.

[@seekvapes9641]

@@althelor Well of course it makes it easier to see - the inside of your car, which the driver doesn't really care much about and already has muscle memory about and faint backlights for. But if you are in any lit windowed space when it's dark outside, it makes the reflections of inside your room (or car) overpower the dark stuff outside. In such conditions I would have to make googles out of my hands and press my face against the window so I could se a piece of the outside within the reflection of my shaded face - something a driver can't do for the hands on the wheel and needing to have more than finger countable degrees of FOV reasons. Also bright lights will desensitize your rods and cones, making it even harder to discriminate dark stuff, like how dark alleys seem darker when you are looking from the sunny outside, but you begin to get night vision. So you really don't want your windshield to turn into one-way mirror when driving, and losing night vision sensitivity at the same time. During intense daylight however the windows will act like mirros to the outsiders and you will barely see any reflections even if lit inside.

[@KingRidley]

If you tell a kid that you can't see the road with the light on, they'll spend time arguing with you because they don't drive and they don't understand why that's a problem. If you tell them it's illegal, they can't argue.

Lies of danger, even as a joke or a "quick solution" for fixing child behavior can seriously mess up a child. I was very gullible when I was small (maybe bc of my autism but idk) and I remember multiple lies that genuinely terrified me for a long time. When my family went to the beach for the very first time, my older brother told toddler-me that there were sea monsters who would eat me. I refused to swim in the ocean for more than a decade despite my family dragging me to the beach every single year. And nowadays I obviously know better but still feel uneasy & dislike the ocean as an adult. Another time my father got annoyed I was dragging my feet & falling behind so he told toddler-me if I don't hurry up the wolves are gonna get me. I ran home and was too scared to go outside at all for days and cried everytime someone left the house, thinking they might not come back. I unfortunately have many memories like this of people in my family telling me sth once and it influencing my behavior for YEARS.

I remember when I first started watching videos on youtube as a kid and under a Barbie Girl song vid, there was a comment that said something along the lines of "if you don't comment this on seven other videos, your mom will die in 7 days/7 years" and I was absolutely mortified. I started bawling my eyes out while commenting it and thinking my mom is in danger until I called my dad to apologize and tell him I commented so they don't need to worry and he reassured me mom was just fine and people lie on the internet. Honestly, I was scared to watch that video for some time after that because I kept thinking I'd see that comment again.

Cracking your joints is not only not dangerous, it's a great way to prolong their life. When you crack your articulation points you're releasing the pockets of air that form inside the sacks that hold the synovial fluid, avoiding potential dry spots and lubing the system.

[@papadikolov1378]

quick tip on the knuckle cracking bit, it is actually unsafe to crack your back or neck. not for "arthritis" reasons, but for "possible fall into a stroke" reasons. when you think about how that bone is directly connected to your brain, it makes sense. if you ever crack your back or neck, and it feels particularly louder than usual, try to atleast keep people nearby incase the stroke happens.

[@audhd_incarnate8001]

The spine isn't connected to your brain, it simply houses your spinal cord. You'd need to be built like a circus strongman to sever or pierce your vertebrae into your spinal cord. Strokes are caused by blood clots that are small enough to pass through the blood-brain barrier, usually through small spaces in that barrier. These spaces occur due to the natural wear and tear the body experiences, which is why strokes happen most often in the elderly. You can't really cause a stroke to happen

[@adzdrawss]

The worst lie I was ever told and believed was in 2nd grade grade, my friends (let’s just say Emma and Olivia) turned off the bathroom lights at a restaurant and I got really scared. I told them to not do that but then told me about all bloody mary or what we called her, BM (that’s her code name and i am genuinely still terrified to say her full name because of how deep this lie went). at first i didn’t believe them. But that night I woke up around 2 AM with a bloody nose and when I was going to bed, I suddenly realized what that meant. I told them about what happened the day after and they told me it was “a sign and that she was angry at me now”. You would not believe how terrified I was. I distinctly remember Emma telling me about one of their friend’s friend almost being taken by her. Olivia told me that her cousin and her had a literal conversation with BM and she threatened to take them. we had really weird things like that we couldn’t wear much red, black, or white because those were “her colors”, we couldn’t say her name (only BM) because “it would alert her”, never ever say her name 3 times in front of a mirror in the dark, I think the worst thing was that we literally used geese in migration as “coding” from her. One of my friends literally “deciphered” what she was trying to tell us 💀 I have no clue if they actually believed what they told me or if they did it just a mess with me (like why did they have first person accounts??). I honestly don’t know what would be worse. I’m not friends with them anymore, but it would be so interesting to talk to them again and ask them if they even remember any of that because that was a crazy time
