A huge number of aspects of the US's geopolitical enemies, and its own mythologization of the Founding Fathers and early settlers.

There was also a really bad political test with liberalism on the left and conservativism on the right, and we had to take a test and put what we got in front of everyone, which was very strange.

In my college Econ 101 class I was taught that "economic liberalism" would lead to political liberalism. I knew that was a myth back then, but my professors insisted. Twenty years later we've got economic nationalism and political fascism taking over everywhere.

Supersize me was fake and tonsils are not a useless byproduct of evolution.

I learned that it’s not ok to be intelligent but completely incapable of remembering to do things or remembering the things that the teachers thought it was important for me to remember.

I was chucked into Christian school in high school.

I dont remember anything that was proven false. I remember i butted heads with my history teachers constantly. Having history as my hyperfocus of my autism, and hyperactive talking from adhd, i had to correct one teacher a lot.

Saying the classic "the HRE was neither holy nore roman nore an empire" but nobody called it that back then. It was known as just "the empire". And the "holy" part was due to shenanigans with the pope, and it defenetly was an empire in the sense of span. Yes everything was autanomouse, but it was an empire by size of who swears loyalty.

I learned more that the things i back then saw as useless and "why are we being tought that" is actually really important. Example: text analysis if grammer, way of phrasing things, wether the autor clearly frames things threw choice of words, if it is a story, news article or comment

That blood is actually blue until it gets in contact with air

There are 10 Commandments.

No - there's 14.

And most of them also have sub-commandments, just to confuse it further.

Allergies are entirely genetic. Apparently they ain't or so I hear but it's a bit above my paygrade biology wise

Stomach ulcers are caused by stress. Nope.

Alcoholism runs in families. Nope.

My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon
