I once actually thought that when movies and shows were developing, I thought that they were being made within the year of their release date. I didn’t know that these projects were sometimes done in advance or took years to make.

That when ‘Commercial Breaks’ happened during shows, I thought they meant that the actors needed a break before resuming. Not realizing that episodes are already made and commercials just interrupt things to just sell you shit.

When I learned food and drinks were energy for your body, I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.

    Wouldn’t it?

    There are many biological and neurological reasons on why we can feel fatigue/tired. consuming definitely affects it in a meaningful way.

    I would point at all the caffeinated stuff that exists but even a piece of fruit can grant you a short buff.

    Eventually you will require sleep but science is still trying to understand why exactly that is.

      I definitely gain energy in a colloquial sense from food when I’m hungry.

      Like, if I haven’t eaten much that day, I’ll want to nap around 16/17, then I’ll be alert and energetic again if I eat dinner instead of napping.
