What misconceptions do you still have that you learned from TV/film as a child?
in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) (the best version imo b/c i saw it as a kid and the magic only works around then) a lady said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac and i’ve completely internalized that as true.
i hope it is, it sort of makes sense. people buy chocolates on valentines day
I think this person transfers their milk and orange juice into jugs in the fridge.
Orange juice was probably in jugs because it’s being made from concentrate in a can. Milk at least in Canada in certain provinces is sold in bags which go into a jug.
Milk in the US uses a different pasteurization technique the most of the rest of the world, so we need to keep it refrigerated while other places don’t until it’s opened.
It is an aphrodisiac, but not a very strong one. Various types of nuts can be more benefitial to the libido than chocolate is… or a combo of them, yeah, that can also work I guess.
KInda stupid question, innit? If I still have it, I don’t think it’s a misconception. You’d have to tell me.
But then, anyone can make a mistake. Doesn’t make you a bad person. I make mistakes every day. I shouldn’t have said stupid, I should said… whatever they call it now. Meathead?
It’s possible, especially when it comes to things like luck or illusion. Most people know that magic isn’t real, but some still tend to fall back on magic as an explanation for a really good illusion.
There is a fine line between holding two beliefs that are in direct contradiction and understanding that something you want to be true is something that you also understand is a misconception, is my point.
There is a term for things like that: “mental gymnastics”
People can naturally hold conflicting ideas or sometimes feel the need to believe things they know aren’t true. It’s extremely important for people to become more self-aware in that regard as it is something that can be exploited by religions, politicians, cults or scam artists.
Everyone is vulnerable to it, to different degrees. Even in the privacy of our own thoughts, most of us have tried to convince ourselves of something that wasn’t true, regardless of any facts we have seen. It’s just human nature.
That myth is still pushed by many TV shows to this day, unfortunately. I believe that most public emergency defibrillators work automatically, so that is nice.
BF players: yeah, they are good for gunshots, knife stabs, if blown up by mines, run over by a jeep or pulverized by a sabot round. And agains lethal falls.
