KatnissGod Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've just seen a video talking about what people used to think when they were kids, like that employees slept at their workplace and I've been curious ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I used to think hamsters were smaller dogs, that grew up into puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosix Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I thought that, in order to evolve Magneton into Magnezone, you needed to have Rhyperior use Horn Drill like you use an HM back in gen 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yui Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I used to think that the AIs in Diddy Kong Racing were people who were also playing the game but from really far away. Needless to say I was way ahead of my time, and I swear I'm not making this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosix Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I used to think that everyone had a bunch of little robots inside of them that actually controlled everything and that I could channel them and tell them what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatnissGod Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Used to think that a cashier was the best job because at the end of the day they would take all the money home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (I technically work as a cashier at the water park; technically not true except for any tip money you get from customers. I get other stuff instead at times though, but that's straying off-topic.) But let's see. [spoiler=stuff]1. Having multiple kids (as in more than 6 or something) would be easy and not take resources. Yeah, reality set in a couple years later and the idea was quickly tossed. (If I get married, only 1-2 kids). 2. Something about the actual game being played like they did in Duelist Kingdom / anime (in grade school, morning duels were a thing and yeah, summoning big monsters without Tributes). Also stuff about Blue-Eyes being cool; right now, I'm somewhere on the fence about it now because of the support. 3. English dub was accurate, and stuff was made in the US. (I blame 4Kids for this for Pokemon and Yugioh, because up until I joined YCM in 2009, I had no clue about subs, nor the fact that 4Kids butchered the original.) Now I wonder how good the subbed original series is; I've only watched Season 4 of GX subbed because it never got translated to English. 5Ds is the only series I've watched both sub/dub (with exceptions). From ZEXAL on, pretty much all subbed. 4. Internet would be a lot more civil place where people didn't swear and/or be jackasses online. Found out how false that was on the first forum I ever joined (which was some trading card site); YCM came later and the vets were bad [some legit trolls and others who took pleasure in bashing newer users]. Oh right, and I thought I could be a moderator because I stuck around for three months. Yeah, I was naive back then (though 5 years later, and maybe 17,500 posts later, give/take a few; I got promoted.) 5. Being a police officer / firefighter was a cool job. (Yeah, both are dangerous professions and underappreciated; especially now with the former) 6. Whatever adults said in casual conversation would be okay to say. That didn't cut it in grade school, though to be honest, the last 2-3 teachers I had at the time were close to what SJWs are classed as nowadays (at least getting offended by certain non-offensive comments). 7. Rail was going to be the fix-all problem for O'ahu, and the anti-rail mayoral opponent [who's technically the chairman of the engineering department at university right now] didn't know what he was talking about or aloof to local ways because he's from Greece. Was back in 2008-2009 (as a high school freshman); about a few years later, I'm seeing where he was going with it. (I met the guy in person at the start of the year; he was alright as an individual [i need to remember him in case there arises an issue with courses and I need to get in touch with a certain professor], but a lot of the reviews I've seen of him as a teacher are in the negative. Also he's short [i'm a couple inches taller than him], but I'm digressing.) I think there was more, but either I can't remember them (or I didn't think about too much) or borders on stuff I rather not talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ire Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I was paranoid for not knowing if my parents were or weren't telepaths. That truly was a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I used to think that battered fish lived in the sea. I am not kidding lol. I have always had a autistic mind and I even regress to a 13 year old boy in my mind at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'd think that the upside to people who work in food places like McDonald's, Pizza Hut and so forth was that they got to make their own meal there for free or at least get discounts. To a degree, some places do. Though not all operate the same it seems. At one point I thought I figured out how women have children. A kiss between the woman and her spouse. Yeah, this theory didn't last long. I thought Guinea pigs were bigger hamsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazooie Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 When I was a kid, I was absolutely convinced that I could grow up to be a tree. I guess I was only slightly wrong, I became a bird instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 When I was a kid, I was absolutely convinced that I could grow up to be a tree. I guess I was only slightly wrong, I became a bird instead.This reminds me. As a kid when visiting the cemetery I came to the conclusion that when people died they either became trees or squirrels. Because of how many of those I saw around the cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~~ Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I used to think that fireworks were sticks of dynamite with food colouring, tossed into the air by medieval catapults. I used to think that my parents each knew everything that the other did. I would get really angry when my dad wouldn't know about something I'd been talking to mum about because it felt like he was deliberately being ignorant. I used to think that you could Normal Summon an infinite amount of times per turn, and that in your draw phase you drew until you had 5 cards in your hand.

I remember thinking this as well.Same. Then you actually get a real one and you think "This is it?". I also used to think that people with the same last name were related. So back when I was 8, I thought one of my classmates was the son of my teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
