Jezus, this is bad.

So many of these are widely known and make up a misconception that doesn’t exist (bananas not on trees… you don’t say??)

Others are bad plays at words (we have 5 external senses, people often leave the external part out when they talk, so what?)

And then some are just weird, like the great wall of China being nature (and not visible from space, why go after a random joke from the 90’s?)

Just all around, this is bad

The sugar one drives me nuts. Like yeah sugar doesn’t cause DSM-5 “hyperactivity”. Like of course not! It does give a little energy boost. And the rugrats will use the highly available energy and become a hilarious unmanageable dufus for a half hour or so.

If you actually thought that candy was going to give your child a diagnosable psychiatric condition… you’re a huge fucking idiot. If you haven’t ever noticed that giving a kid a bag of sour patch kids gets them riled up, you haven’t spent much time with kids.

You’re just repeating something scientifically false. Eating sugar absolutely does NOT “give you an energy boost.” What a smug advertisement of the fact that you’ve never taken a biochemistry course AND are so unobservant that you haven’t noticed sugar consumption is, if anything, more likely to make you feel drowsy than “energy boosted.”

Fucking unbelievable. The smug wrongness of people blows my mind.
