30 Facts That People Found Out Were False Way Too Late In Life, As Shared In This Online Community

Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional

Biggest disappointment of my life. I hated being a child and couldn't wait to grow up and live among adults. Time felt like it was standing still and I felt like being tortured every day, but I kept dreaming of the time when I won't have to deal with childish s### anymore. Had a short time when I started uni when I was ecstatic, finally, the time is now, adult world! Then shortly I had to learn that if there's one actual adult among a hundred, that's a great result.

That your parents or really any other adult had any idea what they were doing...Its easy to think as a kid/young person that 18, 25, 40 year old people have to have figured this s**t out and then you get that age yourself and you gotta look around and realize people are just make this up as they go

Hahhahhahahhaahahhahhhahaa hahahahhhhaahhhaahajajjajh hahhahhahhhaahaaaahhaa 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣

politicians have the interests of the party as priority, not you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THAT'S SO FUNNY! Tell me another one? Like how Trump never lies? *snort* ahhh that one's funny

I can’t even take a Mother May I…tiny microscopic step down this road. The needless suffering, the greed, the intentional denials and back door dealings, tit for tat, gaslighting…..I need to stop now or we will all regret it

hahahahahahahahahahaha........(deep breath).......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, lighten up! We’ve got the best politicians money can buy!

I cried myself to sleep more than a coupe of nights thinking about killer bees.

I was always scared of bottomless pits, never found one though.

Fire, stop, drop and roll, lol

I did worry about quicksand when I was a kid. Not so much as an adult. Nope.

How and where were you raised ?

The harder you work, the more of a pushover you look like.

In fact, the minute you prove to be dependable and hard-working, they dump on you.

This applies to every job I've ever had except my current one. I feel so lucky to have found it and that's honestly kind of sad.

I've worked hard and I do feel my employer has noticed. I've been able to move to a position that I wanted. I have no maintenance experience but my company let me move from production to learn how to fix industrial machinery and refrigeration skid. Satisfying work and better pay than production.

I so dislike sweeping generalizations

I was fooled into believing crusts gave you curly hair, backfired on my mum though cos I told her I didn't like or want curly hair so therefore wouldn't eat crust. 😅

Until I was old enough to bake bread, I thought that the crust was made of something different than the soft part.

The crust has higher levels of the carcinogenic chemical acrylamide so actually does more harm than good. The less baked, toasted or cooked the lower the levels. However the levels in regular bread crust are fairly minimal.

My mom's mother told her eating her crusts would give her curly hair. She bought it and fully believed it her whole life, then told me the same thing. As a kindergartner I informed my mom that the only thing that made crust different from the rest of the bread was it was hotter longer in the oven, because I saw how it was made on tv. Mom thought about it logically and was hurt her mom had lied. I feel kinda bad about it

I thought it curled your hair. LOL

These kind of stories always get me. I understand believing something as a child, but how the F do people make it to their mid 20s still believing things like that? Logic should have taken over by then. Reminds me of the poop knife story.

I laughed at this way more than I prolly should of 😂😂😂

Not harmful to children but toxic for dogs and cats.

SO Granddad wanted all the dark chocolate for himself.

Clever, greedy grandpa!

Not sure about birds, but in some species this is true. Even in the species of animals that don't care about human smell, if they see someone hanging around their child for too long, they'll assume it was eaten or killed. So, that's kind of true

me: *touches brother on arm*
