Lies We We're All Told As Kids... Today we talk about lies we were told as kids. Most of these lies, I'm sure your parents told you or you heard this lies in school.
When you get in trouble *with* your sibling (key word "with") and you are the only one to get in trouble, after asking why they are not punished, your parents will say "We have already dealt with them" it's such a dirty and big lie.
As someone who comes from a firefighter family, yes. Stop, drop and roll does help, but I don't know if you can easily do that in a narrow trailer. That's more of an ideal method if your body caught on fire (sounds like you'd just be running around like a headless chicken), but what really matters in a smoke-filled room is that you remain low to the ground because smoke rises up to higher altitudes. You can crawl on your hands and feet like you're Solid Snake sneaking around a top secret military facility, and that's effectively the same thing as stop, drop and roll to remain safe in a smoke-filled room.
The most lie my parents told me when I was little was that butterflies grow in your ears. Now as a 13 year old teenager, sometimes I think it was true when I already thought it wasn't
Fun fact: The myth that carrots are good for your eyesight was started by the British Royal Air Force in WW2 so the Germans wouldn’t find out that they had radar. They would explain their ability to find enemy aircraft by saying that it was because they were eating carrots, rather than that they had radar.
While maybe originally started as a myth, it turned out to be pretty truthful. Carrots supply your body with beta carotene which helps your body maintain certain vitamins that improve vision.
@@jacobbeitner8796 now that makes sense. but still, that's funny. how come having good vision lets u get rid of radars and the Germans actually believed them?
Man had a good father for telling him not to let shit slide. My entire life I was told the whole "just ignore them it will go away" bulshit and my mom literally praised me for being harmless and it caused a lot of pain in my life. It took me 5 months of gym and becoming a Muay Thai fighter just to have the balls to stand up for myself from micro agressions that people did around me
I remember my parents would tell me that "videogames would rot my brain" but then would be completely ok with me watching movies and I would go "Hey, I use my brain to game by thinking ahead with strategies and stuff but when I'm watching a movie I just sit there" and they were like "...don't care."
Yeah there’s definitely some functional use to advanced math, especially if you’re planning on going into a career like engineering. Schools teaching a base level of advanced math may spark interest in this area for certain students and gives them a base to advance while in university. Most people may not use it after high school, but some do.
I feel like parents are supposed to prepare us for the future ahead and these lies just do not help, In fact I think this is the reason why so many people still act like children nowadays, for example complaining over small things, trying to start arguments or argue over something stupid.
They don't act like children but they do argue over small things, over stupid things etc, people aren't doing that because they were lied to about Santa or tv damaging your eyes or anything else.
4:01 this actually dates back to the world war 2, as an explanation for how well enemies were being detected in the dark at night (when radar was first invented)
I’m pretty sick with covid rn and was at a pretty low metal point but I just found this guy today and he has me rollin. Thanks for making my day better.
Tbh the difficulty of high school depends on what subjects you pick, at least here. I know people who were basically worked to death and never slept while I was cruising along. The difference between them and me is that they went for the Australian equivalent of a GPA and I didn't 🤣
Middle school teachers just said that they wouldnt accept shenanigans or any bullshit in high school. It is only harder in junior year because it has some of the hardest classes and sats
So basically my parents told my older brother and sister one day that Santa wasn’t real, and they were cool with it but unlike me, I litterally cried for minutes, I’m sure that I wasn’t the only one… hopefully
It's funny how so many of these were relatable for me, considering I grew up in a rural area in Norway. Really just goes to show that we're all living the same simulation 😂
I have spent most of my life in pyrotechnics training. My whole thing is that I'm safe with fire. The one time I caught myself on fire I didn't use stop drop and roll. Sorry to the schools who teach that..
Oof i had one have no idea were it went when we moved all i know is i would doge its eyes to pick up my dads gun so we could shoot. I sooner then later relized the idea was fricking stupid and shot the elf with a nerf gun lmao
My parents told me about the entire santa thing at the end of 4th grade I still have to pretend he’s real since my little sisters are still in like 3rd grade and kindergarten
I've always been told that eating blueberries helps your memory or something but here I am after eating like 30 bags of frozen blueberries and I still have the memory of a bird.
Violence doesn't pertain to self-defense or controlled conditions like sports. If someone slaps you and stops at that and you're not in any immediate danger and you slap back under "an eye for an eye" reasoning.....basically you can't control your anger. As Count Rugen would say, "You've got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance." Also I'm cool with the Santa lie. Let childhood be magical damn.
Actually the story of Santa came from a guy called Saint Nicholas from Turkey who was a real person who gave coins and money to people on Christmas Day to celebrate the birth of Jesus (hence it being on the 25th, it’s his birthday) so now Santa isn’t alive but if Jesus reincarnated than maybe Saint Nick did too, nobody knows so for those wondering he is real.
1:35 my parents never told me that lie lol… I had a cat since I was born, in my first year of living if he wasn’t on the table getting patted by me I wouldn’t eat. When I was like 10 and my cat unfortunately passed my parents explained to me about what happened…obv I bursted into tears but I’m glad they told me what happened…and it still hurts remembering abt his death but he gave me some beautiful moments. What a legend
Lies We’ve All Been Told As A Kid: 1. Don’t Sit Too Close To The TV, It’ll Damage Your Eyes. 2. Violence Isn’t The Answer. 3. Your Dead Pet Is Out In The Wild. 4. Watermelon seeds grow in your stomach. 5. School drills will keep you safe. 6. Carrots help vision. 7. Video games will rot your brain. 8. You’re gonna need math when you’re older. 9. You need to go to college to have a good job. 10. You have to wait an hour after eating to go swimming. 11. Stranger danger. 12. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. 13. Santa, the elf, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, etc.
On the school drill one, I always thought huddling in a corner of the room was stupid. Almost all of my high school classrooms had emergency exists too, if I was aware that an actual shooter was on campus, I would have just run out of the room and ducked behind some cars or trees or something until I could get into the woods nearby. I had a plan on how to escape from every room if needed. Yeah it could be reckless but better than being a sitting duck.
Exactly. Clumping into one part of the room does nothing but massively increase the chance of someone getting shot. Its a lot easier to hit a big clump of people than it is a group of spread out people
Goldfish are sadly the most neglected and mistreated pets and parents should never use them as a teaching tool. They're supposed to live in huge tanks and live for decades, not 2 years or so. :/
2:53 for me our intruder drill is the worst So for us, we have to hide under the cubbies (i forgot if thats what they are called because i randomly forget if words are words). The cubbies are next to the door in a way where you cant really see them (i think you can still see them a bit) which is good except the fact that more then half the class arent able tofit nder the cubbies. Also everyone just expects that the intruder cant knock down the door or something. WHY WOULD AN INDRUDER COME IN IF THEY ARE WEAK???? Also apparently if we do have an intruder the principal just goes on the anouncements and says “lockdown”. Now the intruder knows you’re hiding
@@jacepawplayz i am serious Why should we hide under the tables And i am seriously no joking my school told us to do it In pakistan there are not many school bang bangs going on but 1 happend few years ago And the solution my school came up with is hide under the tables Like my guy lets just block the door with the tables
@@SparkliOfficial sorry i just sometimes cant understand if people are serious or not. I feel bad for you. Im lucky i never had to deal with that. We just do drills and talk about it a real one happens
Fun fact: There's more to the "wait 1 hour before swimming" rule. The whole line is "wait 1 hour after eating before swimming," as if you don't, you will start cramping up, for some reason. I'm not sure why, but it's true. I remember eating pizza, then going into a pool, then my toes, for some unexplained reason, would feel like they were twisting around each other. I did hop out of the pool to check that out, but that actually undid whatever it was, so that's good, I guess.
I actually knew Santa wasn't real since I was 5. I pretended to believe because it made my mom happy. One Christmas though I got a small tv from "Santa". Literally right after I opened it my dad said "We got a really good deal on that!". My mom turned to my dad, and gave him the biggest stink eye I had ever seen.
5:32 Ima be real here, Math is mostly useless, but its the critical thinking and common sense skill that really gets better from doing math when you don't understand how the equations work at first, figuring them out through instructions or your own way, don't get me wrong tho, Math still sucks 💀
during my fathers bday we went to a range, and i was the only one there who properly played fps games. There was my moms brother who was gaming but didnt have time anymore, and we performed the best at shooting. It shows that video games can improve your accuracy, and on google it says that it can improve focus.
Hey carrots do actually aid in good eyesight, medium carrots have ~8.05 micrograms of vitamin K. Vitamin k aids in good eyesight, and fish is also a good power food for eyesight because it has omega 3 acids which also helps your eyes fish oil has vitamin A which I THINK helps with your eyes as well but I don't know for sure
For the “out of the wild”, when my cat died, when I was 7, I suspected the worst, we went to the vet. And yes she was put to sleep. We could not afford the treatment, and even if we could it still would probably be a lost cause.
I don’t want sound like a 🤓 but probably the reason why they didn’t want you to get close to the tv is because the technology in the crts (box tvs) can hurt your eyes as a younger person. It is just strait light onto a piece of glass. And the reason why I know this is because I am a person who loves technology.
In the Netherlands. We don’t really celebrate Christmas like in other countries. Santa is never real here, instead. We have Sinterklaas, who Santa Claus is based on. Long story short, an old man with a beard and a staff comes with his boat from Spain and bring toys to every child. He goes across the rooftops with his horse and with his friends: de pieten, who are our versions of the elves. Who bring the toys down the chimney. They used to be black, due to the coles. But with changing times, and racist undertones. They eventually changed it to them having stripes of coal on their faces, instead of them being jet black. I never saw it as racist, due to them being portrayed as good people and Sinterklaas treating them as equals. And not like lesser slaves. And not really like blackface. But I do see the issues in hindsight and think it is a good replacement. To make us believe it, there is an a TV show on national television about him. It’s kind of like a sitcom for children. In the style of a news broadcast.
0:47 Back in the elementary school years, my teacher literally said that violence isn't the answer to everything and I immediately raised my hand and asked "what if someone shoots me. Do I just give them a hug." The entire class died laughing and I wasn't even trying to be funny and yet I still got in trouble even tho I was basically asking q high quality question
and yes carrots aren't good for your vision but they are good for your eyes because they contain vitamin A Carotene which is naturally good for your eyes. But it doesn't make your vision better
Is it weird if I still believe in Santa even though people say he isn't real? I mean I was always that one kid who didn't let anything make me sad because I was always happy no matter what.
NO i love santa and people say he is fake but don't belive them same ting with the easter bunny there just trying to ruin your life cause there miserable
The stop, drop, and roll thing is when you catch on fire and there's no source of water to put yourself out, and no one with blankets, let alone fire blankets, you smother the fire out, by rolling around until it is.
I was so terrified about the seed growing inside me so i made sure that I don't swallow one seed it went like that for years until someone told me it was a lie 💀
The carrots myth is actually from WWII the RAF developed radar and German spies were always listening and the English government said “Well actually we just been gobblin carrots and our pilots basically have night vision”
ngl, the lie about not running around or swimming after eating is reasonable cause they say you'd get a cramp and you gotta wait for all the food to go through your system (i fr believed that lie for like 7 years)
When I become a parent, I would never lie to my children about anything at all. The most challenging time of doing this would probably be Christmas, Easter or when my children lose their teeth and I really needed some alternative options for these around a decade or more before I have my first children. Can you give me some alternate options? Make sure the info is as honest as possible.
One time when my family and my mom were getting supplies out of a box that had decorations for our Christmas tree, the elf on the shelf was in there and the whole operation was ruined
