Had a neighbor once that was always full of poo poo. One time he told me about how he was riding a 4-wheeler and did himself a mischief and rolled it. . .37 times. He even said he counted. He told me that an area league football team wanted him to try out for the team, but he was too worried he would lose his job if he took time off to try out. He drove a cement truck. Back in the mid 90's I would go to the college library and go into chat rooms. One person I was talking to said she was Helen Hunt. This was around the time Twister came out and this person said she was talking to people to see what they thought about the movie. I told 'her' she was terrible in it. There's no way that was really her. . .right?

One time I was told the story of REDMOON LEGBONE(or it was REDBONE LEGBONE) who was an evil indestructible skeleton who would chase you and kill you by ripping your legs off if you went to a cemetery at midnight when I was a dumb stupid idiot child and I was very scared for a long time

an incomplete list "We're going to be best friends forever!" (age 4) "I put a 20' extension cord on an NES controller, and beat mario3 from another room without seeing the screen!" (1st grade) "We're sending you to a good school we're you'll be well treated by staff and students and where stuff like bullying is rare and not tolerated!" (1st grade) "We're going to be best friends forever!" (3rd grade) "Thanksgiving was celebrated by the natives who were grateful to the white man (4th, 7th, 11th grade)" "Acid is a super dangerous drug that makes you literally see things that aren't there like pacman ghosts chasing you" (5th grade) "We'll be your friends and support you through this difficult time" (8th grade) "You can trust us in the guidance office to know about your self harm or whatever else is going on, and not inform people in ways that will cause you problems!" (10th grade) "This acid is pretty good, don't take more than 3 if you're dosing at school" (11th grade, and it turned out to be obscenely strong and 3 tabs was pure catatonia and I was lucky I made it home) "This acid is decent" (11th grade, turned out to be blank notebook paper) "The civil rights era was tumultuous and then nothing significant happened after about 1967" (11th grade) "Sign up for the army, I will buy you a keg of beer and you don't even have to go, just sign this poo poo and then don't show up, it's fine!!" (12th grade) "Every computer science graduate needs to understand some amount of assembly because you'll invariably need to use it at some point" (sophmore year college) "Java applets are a useful paradigm for putting applications on the web and you need to be good at this to be employable" (junior year college) "I won't gently caress our mutual friend's GF until they break up, because it would totally gently caress up our friend group" (junior year college) seems like once I exited college and had basically total control over the humans I am exposed to outside the work place, the amount of abject bullshit that gets thrown at me has plummeted

EorayMel posted:lol at these two in sequence this was during an era when a dude named Pickard was just pumping out assloads of LSD from a missile silo and even in the tiny town adjacent to my somewhat larger town, the most dangerous rednecks you can think of, that you wouldn't do a weed deal with in 2023, were able to source high quality crystal. So, this was all stuff being laid locally, the quality was absolutely all over the map, and sometimes people who were usually normal dealers would just sell you notebook paper because they were out of acid, needed money, were 3-4 years older and knew they could do it and not only would I not call the cops, I'd probably still buy more acid down the line. Total crazy period, acid at $1/tab in a middle/highschool setting is totally crazy. Flipside, at that point blank paper was about the worst you had to worry about, DOB barely existed at that point in time, and the loving fentanyl blotter poo poo that's out there now would have sounded like an insane D.A.R.E. scare more or less, all the poo poo DARE told me about designer drugs and the dangerous pills/etc was mostly bullshit at the time but now it's all basically true, I've seen GC/MS of "THC carts" contaminated with fentanyl. Fuckin nonsense, I think black market weed products excluding flower are probably way sketchier than the sketchier pot I bought in college, which is hosed up!! edit: this isn't the weed thread, oops, well, thanks for listening to my TIM Talk.

My friend was sponsored by like 3 skateboard companies at the same time because he was so good at skateboarding and they all totally gave him new decks every week but he can't take them to school he can only use them in competitions and also he can't do any tricks outside of competitions because what if he hurt himself and they would sue him

In freshmen year of college I sat next to a guy in my german class who told the professor his hands were registered as deadly weapons. It was my first experience that made me realize that college was not necessarily for smart people.

I had an 8th grade biology teacher tell my class that you can cross a cat with a rabbit, you'd get a "cabbit". He said he had a student bring one in and it hopped around in the classroom. So many layers of bullshit on that one. Not even a misconception, dude flat out lied about something he should have known.

My first grade teacher was adamant that flying fish didn’t exist and wouldn’t believe me when I tried to tell her she was wrong. Destroyed my faith in general authority at like six years old (which was actually a gift, but y’know). I tried to poo poo in her waste basket after school but I couldn’t get one out in time. Sucks man.
