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.
Cops are good
Hard work pays off
I might own a home someday
The government isn’t out to get anyone
People are inherently good
Drugs are bad
Agree.
Also “crime doesn’t pay”, “you shouldn’t lie” and “we’re a monogamous society and you shouldn’t cheat in a committed long-term relationship.”
Tbh I still kinda believe in the latter, despite knowing it’s a childish fantasy.
