The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was seen as just one of several possible theories, rather than accepted fact.
That CO2 makes up 0.03% of the atmosphere. But it was true then.
When was that?
Late 70s early 80s.
That adults are mature and know what they are doing.

That fluoride and vaccines are bad for you… tbh, I only believed it for 2-3 weeks until I did my own research, but it was a frightening clarification. Didn’t believe that teacher a single word after that.
Fluoride can be bad for you, just at much higher doses than they put in water supply. It can cause issues with bones and neurological development. Again, only in very high doses over a long time. It happens a lot in poorer countries where they can’t treat well water.
I think people underestimate the problems with teeth hygiene. It can cause dimensia, so teeth should be brushed before you eat, though avoid mouth wash.
And don’t forget to floss! As soon as I learned that my gums don‘t bleed because of the metal thing, but because food between my teeth decays and that decaying decays my gums, turning it all into poop, I started to floss every second day.
Why should I avoid mouth wash though? My routine is floss - mouth wash - brushing
Just the cancer causing it does. I’d read a study on it one time, I believe it’s accurate.
Mouthwash cancer?
Yeah, you start seeing the full multiverse. It’s crazy.
It was false then but my seventh and eighth grade science teacher told us that blood was blue. My mom was a nurse so I knew that it was bullshit but was definitely confused because he was my science teacher.
-Coequal branches of government -Separation of Church and State -Life terms for SCOTUS ensures political impartiality -The second amendment was so that we could defend ourselves (see: redcoats) -Bohr system
Unless you are by far the oldest person on Earth, these were disproven far before you were born
Fair, but this is/was still commonly taught in schools. That’s what the original question was.
By the time I was in school the Bohr model was already proven inaccurate, but was taught anyway because the orbital model is too esoteric for teenagers 🙄.
I have one that was proven false, and then later re-proven true: the existence of the brontosaurus.
When I was in elementary school, we were taught that they existed, they were big, etc. Then, at some point while I was in college, I discovered that actually what we thought was a brontosaur was a brachiosaur or an apatosaur. And then, when my kids went to school and learned about the brontosaur, I discovered that actually, they did exist!
The myth that glass is actually a very thick liquid. It’s actually much weirder than that. https://gizmodo.com/the-glass-is-a-liquid-myth-has-finally-been-destroyed-496190894
I tried to argue this with a science teacher who chose that specific material for a question about phases, and I assumed she was asking for this tricky reason. She marked me wrong and wouldn’t accept my personal research on the topic as makeup. I was humiliated. I hope she’s dead now.
I would say “cursive is how adults write, you’ll need to know it”, but that wasn’t true then either.
cursive sucks ass. im not reading that garbage
I cant even read my own cursive from back then.
Now i know how my teachers felt and why they constantly told me i write unreadablely. Used to be able to read it fluently lol
I actually use it myself sometimes when taking notes. It’s just the natural way to write for me. It’s faster and more space effective.
“You need a pen licence because that’s what you use at work”.
Um no. Secretaries, lawyers and journalists used typewriters and engineers used propelling pencils. Builders had these odd rectangular shaped pencils that could write on anything. Fitters and boilermakers used chalk.
Only schoolchildren used biros.
Cursive is such a bad way to write. I used to have to decipher sloppy cursive notes on how to check airplane fixtures. I even learned it in school!
Good cursive flows very nicely. I got to watch my grandmother’s handwriting deteriorate as the dementia and Alzheimer’s took her. Was always amazed for well she wrote when i was younger, but her handwriting turned pretty incomprehensive as her brain was eaten away by the disease
“This is the best time of your life, it will never be as easy.”
I wasted more time at school than at work and I didn’t have Fridays off, so that was a lie.I was taught that Jupiter had 17 moons, Saturn has 12 and Pluto has 1. Many more have been discovered since.
Then there’s the whole “different areas on your tongue taste different flavors.” Like you only taste sweet with the tip of your tongue, the middle tastes salty, etc. I remember being given various substances by my fifth grade teacher like sugar, coffee, lemon juice, table salt etc. and we tried putting them on different areas of our tongues and we were like “…no, we taste everything everywhere.”
I was always so confused by the tongue areas because it never seemed to work for me. Especially sweet, I tasted sweet far more at the back than on my tip.
Were you guys eating coffee grounds in your 5th grade science class? Your next teacher either hated it because you guys were bouncing off the walls or loved it because you were all wide awake and paying attention.
We were each given like a quarter teaspoon of grounds and a toothpick.
You’ll wet your bed if you play with fire.
Never heard this before!
Stomach ulcers are caused by stress. Nope.
Alcoholism runs in families. Nope.
Heart disease runs in families. Nope.
Dont know about the first two, but heart disease do. heart stroke happened to my mother and both her parents, her dad died from it. My fathers dad died of brain store and doctors say he heart is also weaken(mostly from smoking 30+ years)
That’s like saying black lung runs in families because your family all worked in the mines.
I dont follow, if you are talking about lifestyle choices there is really inst any similarity, neither in weight, eating habits or work or living conditions .My grandma and grandpa lived in a village until there 40s. Also heart disease is not the only genetic disease in the family. Both my mom and her mom had ovary cancer.Diabetes runs in the family both type 1 and type ,both sets of grandparents and both there siblings and parents,both sets of aunts and uncles, me and my sisters plus alot other relatives. My grandma(father’s side) had bipolar, so does my uncle so does my sister and all of this is just counting genetic disease and not everything else like baldness(both me and my uncle started at 16), i have a single string of blonde hair growing in exactly the middle of my forehead and so does my aunt’s daughter(our moms are twins) and we both have a baby tooth that steal didnt follow at our 20s with the adult one growing behind them
plus we aren’t from America.
The question wasn’t wether there are inheritable health issues, diabetes, some cancer, etc are demonstrated to have a heredity component. I’m not even arguing that heart disease ‘isn’t’ hereditary, I’m just saying that in the context the argument, you saying that several of your family members had it doesn’t prove that specific thing is inherited. Everyone does of something and the fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited.
he fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited
It does though? like it doesn’t have to be 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt genetic like say type 1 diabetes, and with everything else it most likely is
are demonstrated to have a heredity component
I am of the believe that most health issues are genetic, be it mutation or hereditary. I haven’t looked into it much but from experience ppl tend to believe most diabetes are caused by being overweight(or general life style) and that’s no the case in my experience. I feel believing its life style choices hurts ppl more in the long run than it helps(the number of arguments i got with non-diabetes ppl about my own diabetes for example)
But also like what does this have to do with anything?
Heart disease runs in families. Nope.
the OG commenter said it doesn’t runs in families and we both agree it can, why does it matter whether it runs specifically in my family or not. People with health issues know about their own medical history, when someone tells you heart disease run in the family, take them at their word(plus they probably talked to doctors and what not)
It only ‘matters’ to the extent that OP claimed it doesn’t run in families, and you seemed to be claiming it does ‘because’ you had 3 -5 relatives that died from it. All I’m saying it’s that anecdotal evidence doesn’t refute an assertion like that.
If you’d said ‘it does run in families and here is a statistically significant sampling across variable x, y and z’ i wouldn’t be arguing, I’d likely be reading an article about it. But it’s worth pointing out when people use unscientific reasoning in a forum where other people might be influenced by an argument if no one calls out the fault in logic.
For two and three, even if there weren’t a genetic component, the lifestyle and dietary habits of a family absolutely do impact the next generation of the family. Learned behaviors that increase the risk of alcoholism or heart disease absolutely count as “runs in the family”. Further, “runs in the family” never meant “everyone in the family absolutely has it”.
(None of this directed to the comment I’m replying to, just continuing the thought of the comment.)
