I thought babies just randomly started growing in women’s bellies, like at any time, I knew how babies came out when they were born, but I didn’t know how they were made

Same lol. I used to wonder why unmarried women don't have child

I thought and was told that when women get married they just suddenly became pregnant. I asked my mom why you get pregnant after marriage and she just said something like, “you just do”

I used to believe women's body recognised the metal (the ring or in my religion the thali) that one wears after a wedding and decides to become pregnant 

Imagine just wearing a ring for style and becoming pregnant XD

well i mean, no one wears thalis (eh that pluralization yikes) for style so

I had read childrens anatomy books that had talked about how sperms and eggs work, but the book never actually detailed the act itself. I asked my parents how the eggs and sperms get to each other and they said that ”they hugged so much that the sperms went through” lool honestly a pretty good save from them

i thought it was done through kissing with tongue, but i grew up with two mums and was told about the fact they used a sperm doner, i thought the sperm was injected into my mum’s veins…

Same lol, figured the father was just the husband of the mom. I didn’t really live around many divorced families or single parents so I never really thought about that.

Okay, I used to believe babies were made like with ✨love✨ between two people just like being together cause I didn’t know sex existed so I got really confused when divorced people had kids 😭

Babies are made when the man pees in the girls ass

where did you get that one from

idk man. Didn't know that the private parts were meant for anything else besides peeing.

I also thought that. I think I did some research. Yeah...

I know someone who thinks something similar, and he’s 16….

Also thought that

Based🤙

...close enough??

Babies are made when two people kiss including homosexuals

That the world was black and white till the 60s.

Same lol, I remember asking my mother saying "did you witness the world change to colours instead of black and white"

Lmao I did the exact thing.

Lol

my sister believed this until she was 11 lmaoo

Wait it wasn’t?

ME TOO OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE 😭 and then I saw some simpsons episode where it was black and white and then a duff beer or something brought colour into the image, that one really cemented the belief in my head 😅

it’s a bit racist but for some reason I thought East asian people were called nae-nae people like the dance 💀

Id be so honoured to be called a nae-nae people honestly

😭😭😭

Same.

Used to think that ppl got pregnant by kissing

I used to think you would get pregnant randomly after you got married

Same

I thought as soon as you kissed when you got married then you’d get pregnant

same 😂 

I used to think that people got pregnant by eating too much

I used to think god just spawns shoots babies in a womb after a couple gets married. And that ass babies are a thing. there are stomach babies (c-sectioned) and ass babies (came out of ass) and thats that

same

Lol

And hugging. That one was interesting to find out…

lol that was like a year ago for you

i used to think that 'procrastinate' was a naughty word because i confused it with 'prostitution' 💀💀

“No, I’m busy prostituting!”

I mean sentence still works

Nice avatar

I mixed up procrastinate and procreate once

"Its fine, I can talk. Just procreating as usual, you know?"

[удалено]

Stop that's so wrong 💀😂

I mean, I don’t blame them 😭

That's just very wrong to make your child think of the world very differently and potentially make them get bullied for it

I was in a place where there were no black people,and one day I saw a black dude,and I asked him if he got that way because he ate too much chocolate,I was 6 fucking years old bruh

I had the same thing except I was in a Dunkin Donuts with my mom, and I pointed at a black guy and said "Mommy why is that man covered in dirt!?" I was like 5

Oh no that one is so much worse 💀

this is HORRIBLE 😭😭

So when my sister was 3 we lived in a town with next to no black people. When we were at Home Depot the blackest man I've ever seen to this day walked past us. He was also wearing all dark. My sister points and yells loudly "What's that!?"

I'd be horrified as a parent or passerby

Thats a bit funny tbh. What did he answer?

a friend's brother used to have a vocal stim where he'd point at something and call it a monkey, until one day he did it to a black family and his dad scared the shit outta him and corrected it

Oh fuck thats roughhhhh

one of my favorite stories from her, its so funny to think of this little 5 year old kid just going "monkey" and then having their dad just turn on his heel, grab him by the shoulders and shake him like "never. say. that. again."

Hope for the kid’s sake that worked

When l was 2-4 every slngle black dude l saw ld say “dada? Dada? Dada?” My dad ls black and left so theres the context lol. My poor mother

That there were a lil guy in our stomachs who sat at a wooden table all alone in dark room with a lamp hanging from the ceiling with a white plate in front of him. The food we ate fell down on the plate and he ate it and i though everyone had a lil guy in his stomach.

This is so specific

well that's a first

So then the lil guy also has a lil guy in his stomach?😭

Now this is something i remember thinking about, but i never had an answer to where the food went after that

That if I looked at a guy I liked I’d get pregnant

gregmant*

*Percocet

*pregananant

bananananant

*Molly

"you hold a load well molly"

😭

Smartest hole fan

“Cooties” was an actual disease that would put you in the hospital

I mean STDs, if I were to discover a new strand of STD I’ll call it Cooties

That fairies and mermaids were real but I still have a lil hope I had quite a folklore obsession I even tried to become a fairy 🧚‍♀️ lmao I did so many things 🤧

Lol basically most little girls, Ik I thought that at one point

Lmao I left offerings and would gift them chocolate 👻,I tried to do a spell to make me grow wing like 😭😭girl bye until my friend in 5th grade was like OMG who believes in that stuff 😔😔like wym stink stink

I still believe in that man! there's 100% stuff out there we don't understand, all legends come from some form of truth

Yeah I agree

The police would be called if you turned on the hazard lights in a car

My parents also told me that💀The hazard lights button in my dad's old car was so big and red that my 3 year old self couldn't resist pressing it

My mom told me that swallowing gum would not only get it stuck in me, but that flesh eating parasites would come and try to eat me from the inside out all because I swallowed watermelon gum once outside church

WHAT

yikes

I used to think that to get pregnant, all you had to do was sleep in the relative vicinity with a guy bc I didn't know how sperm worked and thought it was just constantly... secreting from people?? Like sweat??? 😭

ugh I hate having to wipe all the sperm off after a jog in the summer

I hate it when my shirt is drenched in sperm

It's so hot outside, I'm already covered in sperm

I thought that babies just appeared after the mom and dad slept in the same bed...

I mean it’s true

I thought only black and white people existed. I also wondered why maury never did paternity test for the mothers

I didn't even know that races existed until I was in 4th grade 💀 I knew that people from different countries didn't all look the same but I didn't think much of it. It was like a "eh, whatever". Then my friends started making racist jokes and such and I learned the N-Word when I was like 8 years old. I simply didn't care that race was such a big thing for people even when I my own parents are immigrants. Hahahha

I used to think that all men didn't have the same amount of balls, like some had 2, some had 3, some had 4, etc. 😭

*DO I SMELL A JOJO REFERENCE???!!!!!*

OMG... 4 B A L L S

That everything will be easier as I get older.

Hey dude are you doing ok?

Yeah, I've still got some "it is what it is" left in me

Ngl having my own place is really cool but it severely decreased my "it is what it is" supply.

I thought 21, 22, 23, and so on, anything past 20, I thought it was written as 201. 21? Because twenty-one. 20, and then 1. 201.

I thought girls pee and shit from one hole

I mean... In some animals they do, same with males.

Lot of people think girls only have 2 holes even as adults lol

I just found out earlier this year that they don't give birth and urinate from the same hole. Now it's three? Is that final?

I thought Cosco was pronounced sauce-co

I knew babies grew in the belly but I nvr accepted that they gotta pop out the hooha. I thought they just...spawned

That if Santa catch me awake, he'll pour hot sauce in my eyes. 🤭

r/oddlyspecific

That you could get arrested if you said Uranus like your anus

Ok that's it bub. put your hands behind your back, you're under arrest

If i kissed a girl she'd get pregnant

I used to think germany was another name for england

I am from Germany so pls explain how someone could think that LMAO

Murca.

That Santa was real😔

Same and I don’t even celebrate Christmas I would watch videos to find footage and stay up at night to watch the sky to see if he would appear 💀

💀 you’re crazy dawg

Wdym he’s real

These Santa deniers smh

Lol, I found that out on my own, but at least now I get to help setting up Christmas gifts

Haha how old were you when you found out?

Like 12 or 13

That’s old 👵

Ik, though I kinda started to suspect when I was 11

Haha lol , you should become a detective🕵️

what.

What?

Are you saying Santa isn't real?

you are lying 😤 /j

But Santa is real

I really sat by the window at 12 am waiting for Santa and then my mom told me to go to bed 🫡 Oh yeah and I would always move every single slight hazard on the floor like a toy mouse because I thought everyone was gonna trip and die ☹️actully this is still a thing

I thought that the only actually important organs are the brain and heart. As long as these two function and are connected you stay alive and can do stuff

that my friends would continue being friends with me

That one is just sad

that one hits you in the gut

me fr

When Family members died, they became stars in the night sky and i believed it for like 4 years thinking my dad was looking after me as a star until 2023

Simbah

aw what made you stop believing in that?

Astronomy

I mean fair, still sad though, I like to imagine our loved ones will always be connected to us in spirit after passing

that the night has more hours than the day

I used to think I was the only one around me that listened to the music I used to listen to. Like, my tastes were your average 8 year old music tastes at the time but I was always surprised when other kids told me that they listened to so and so.

Anything my dad said

I thought aids was the same as tetanus

not me, but i remember when my sister was younger, she thought that women only had boobs if they had a kid lol

middle school must've been rough for her huh

shes still in the midst of middle school, she has long since learned that is a very incorrect thing lol

That you never died and just kept getting bigger and. Bigger

I thought that the world was black and white before colour photos were invented (I still have a bit of trouble believing this nowadays for some reason)

Also that highscool would be fun 💀💀💀

My parents were always right.

That I had superpowers : /

Omg i just remembered i used to have really vivid dreams of me flying around and i thought for a while i legitimately could, i just had to focus hard enough.

When I was 7 I started waffling to some poor waiter that I had superpowers because I could “hear” songs in my head 🤦

I believed that babies come out of their mother's ass.

Used to think Intel core i7 came after core i5, so on. I was so stupid back then.

Wait what, I7 is Better than i5 right?

Yes but it's a lineup. Each generation Intel releases 3 TIERS of CPU, i5, i7, i9. A 2024 i5 beats a 2020 i9

That you had to swallow gum

Because old movies were in black and white I thought color wasn't a thing until the 2000s, so I thought people actually lived in black and white up until 2000 or so cause my dumbass was dumb asf

government being real

I thought the earth was flat and that if you went to the edge of the world you would fall off🤦‍♂️💀

That being trans was a disease. like a literal one. I was scared of turning into a woman one day.

I confused the mosquito with dengue and I thought it transmitted HIV, not dengue.

I used to think that god made you have a kids if he felt like it

I had never seen a mixed person until my best friend for years showed up at my school. I always thought mixed people looked like Dalmatian dogs

That if I ate a seed I would grow a tree in my stomach

I thought my ball sack was my bladder and never understood why when I peed it never changed size so day I decided to squeeze it to make me pee. I then learnt that wasn’t my bladder

that life is happy that friends are forever that i wouldn’t have a traumatic backstory lol that humanity is a good thing

I used to think getting a Child worked like: Husband: "Hey, should we get a son?" Wife: "Yes!" \*Wife casually begins pregnance after saying Yes\*

1. That my crush likes me back 2. That my crush doesn't like me back

When people married each other they sign a everlasting contract that allows the dna of the husband fuse with the dna of the wife and form a baby from the kiss at the wedding and the kiss would go down her throat and into her stomach and wait until they are financially stable to form a child

"Geisterfahrer" in english "ghost driver" meaning one-way driver, as a kid i always imagined a ghost like the flying dutchman driving in a yellow taxi.

I thought you would get a baby when you got married, like it started growing inside you once you married. Then i found out my neighbors with kids never got married and whoops

That happiness was an actual feeling and not a fictional idea that was passed around more than your mother(somehow)

I don’t remember what gave me the idea, but I believed my grandparents to be siblings until I was like 10 or something

That for electricity, a guy walks up a hill during thunderstorm and catches lightning with a bucket, to then put the electricity in Power strips, for electricity

That once you grew up you are automatically able to do everything and you turn "perfect"

When my sister started puberty I thought the same thing was gonna happen to me as well so I started freaking out because I thought I was gonna bleed spontaneously in my lower region.

I thought women peed from their ass

Joke answer: That my parents loved me. Real answer: That they hated me. In reality, they were just too inattentive and stupid.

That I could get laser beam shooting powers by holding my palms directly in direction of the sun for at least 30 minutes a day. I thought i had to build up a streak long enough so that my powers would actually work but you know, winter and stuff, or just cloudy days. I didnt know how many days in a row I had to do it in order for my powers to awake but eventually I gave up because i could never get a streak longer than a few days. I was like 5 years old at that time

During the Gangnam Style craze of 2012, there was a video of an Obama lookalike singing Gangnam Style. I thought it was the real Obama...

I thought turning the faucet made it hotter/colder

Santa

That becoming older was amazing. It's fun but sucks too

Used to believe Dharman videos

That people liked me

that adults couldn't cry or get sick

I sued to think that in order for women to give birth, they need a surgery Like literally cutting their belly open

The engine of cars where run by velociraptors, my sister told me this after we watched Jurassic Park; I avoided that engine like it would drag me under and devour me alive

Chinese middle finger and doing the slant eyes. (If you slant your eyes up, you’re Chinese. If you slant them down, you’re Japanese.) I’m Asian btw and did all of these things. I wasn’t aware of how racist these acts were.💀

that my dad was a firefighter

When I was 6 I thought there was a magical city in the clouds and you could get to it if you walked up a rainbow. And as a 4 year old I thought you had to stir things one way only and if you stir the other way even just a little bit then everything will become "unmixed" and you'll have to start all over again. (To be fair, it was my slightly older friend who made me believe in Sky City, so I blame her for that.)
