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]

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]

6:50 I used to hear that one all the time as a kid! (Not because I was the one cracking my knuckles, just that everyone around me kept doing it and saying it to each other) What makes it interesting is that, as a child, I HAD arthritis! From a very young age! Too young to have gained it cracking knuckles to be sure. So I had to see a special doctor about it for almost a decade. On one of these visits when I was still in 2nd or 3rd grade I actually asked him about this common phrase and he told me it was completely made up. "The worst thing that happens when you crack your knuckles is that you might annoy people around you with the noise" was his only comment on the whole thing. So I grew up laughing when people would say it bc to me it was a bunch of people being fooled into being mad at each other. I also started to crack my knuckles more. I've been in remission for a good 10 years now; and I have been cracking my knuckles for most of it. Can confirm: it's a load of bull

[@mallk238]

@@erika-paigehutch3930 yeah the reason we know that cracking your knuckles doesn't cause arthritis is due to a study where a gentleman dedicated most of his life to in which he cracked the knuckles on one hand everyday for about 50(?) years and left the other one alone. I forget if the outcome was that neither got arthritis or both got arthritis, but the main point being that in doing so he influenced other scientists and inspired a bit more research into the myth that there was a correlation between the two. It wouldn't surprise me if your sister was just cracking her knuckles because they felt real fuckin sore (due to the arthritis). Was the doctor she spoke to her general doctor or was it a doctor who specialized in arthritis specifically? Because mine was for arthritis. I can see a gp maybe not knowing this, but a specialist should know better.

[@mallk238]

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.
