ITT: Stupid things you believed for an embarassingly long time
I thought a Bar Mitzvah was when a 13 year old Jewish boy decided for himself that he wanted to be circumcised. I'm not that embarrassed though, because this is surely a more reasonable system for circumcision than the standard one.
I thought Smashmouth and Smashing Pumpkins were the same band.
I thought the holocaust was real
I thought Bane meant it would be extremely painful for CIA if he pulled off the mask
I thought the title to any movie/show/game was the main character’s name
What? Why? Like the band had two names? They don't even sound the same. These days its like who the fuck can tell the difference between Bebe Rhexa and fucking Cardi B. But Smashmouth was very much its own thing with all their 60s-inspired riffs and whatnot. Smashing Pumpkins is a lot harder to nail down as having a particular style but wtf does any of their music have to do with Smashmouth?

Jesus. I was 13 at the time and even I understood the implication.
>there are people who were 13 when TDKR came out
>they can legitimately post here
>Was 12 back then and started posting here two years after

>these posters have no idea how much they've missed. And no idea how bad its gonna get
>sperging out because an elementary-age user confused two similar band names
until I was like 22 I thought it was "make ends meat" instead of "make ends meet". as in you made just enough money to afford the cheapest cuts of meat.
that blacks were people
I thought Austin Powers and Dr Evil were two different actors
thanks, I got a hearty chuckle out of this one. On a related note, until last year I thought it was "neck-in-neck" not "neck and neck". My reasoning was because of perspective a horse being photographed by the camera that they use to determine close races, that was further behind another horse would seem to have its neck embedded in the horses in the foregrounds. I know, that's some seriously autistic shit.
That people were basically good.
The dial on a toaster is actually a timer, I thought the numbers stood for degree of toastiness until last week
you never noticed how much longer the toast stays in if you turn it up?
that one day you'll actually figure out how the world works.
everyone dies with about a .00001% understanding of life
It seems very cyclic, and everyone pretends new stuff happens. It was the naked bananna then, now its sneed and everyone loses their minds as if its something new
Well yeah, I didnt realize the numbers were minutrs until the toast pops up
that one day when you reach a certain age all your autistic traits will just disappear and you'll suddenly just be a normal functioning person with a social life instead of your austistic traits actually becoming drastically worse into your 20s leading to a life of extreme reclusion and pure agony which then mutates into a pure hostility towards anything that imparts on you and viewing other people as some strange alien entities
Well that sounds rather foolish.
Sure but they're both from the 90s and both had "smash" in their names.
