i thought vampire teeth had holes in them and they sucked blood up through their teeth like lil sharp pointy straws


i have since learned that they just bite your flesh open with their pointy fangs and then slurp the blood with their mouth and swallow it like normal

I had this exact same thought and it lasted until like high school or college (to be fair, it's not like I ran into a lot of vampires who could correct my misunderstanding). Now the whole idea is absurd and I can't imagine where I picked it up from.

That might be where I got it from. I read the Hobbit and the first two Lord of the Rings books...couldn't get through the third one. Interesting how fast grammatification can process words.

Teacher asked us to think up how we would run society if we could. As a kid without an allowance, I wanted a world where I could get toys without money. So, I proposed a world where everyone worked their job, whatever that may be, and took what they needed. You make shoes? People can take ur shoes. You need bread? As long as you worked as a shoemaker, just take some bread! And you want a toy…? No money required!

Teacher made me redo it, because she said there cannot be a world without money

Jesus you people were some dumbshit kids. My parents would have knocked the living poo poo out of me if I'd ever done or said anything half as stupid as what you guys are posting here. I think the worst I ever did was ask if dogs came from a factory and earned myself a smack that must've been heard across the neighborhood. My ear was burning for a good half hour but I learned not to ask stupid questions.
