I once actually thought that when movies and shows were developing, I thought that they were being made within the year of their release date. I didn’t know that these projects were sometimes done in advance or took years to make.
That when ‘Commercial Breaks’ happened during shows, I thought they meant that the actors needed a break before resuming. Not realizing that episodes are already made and commercials just interrupt things to just sell you shit.
When I learned food and drinks were energy for your body, I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.
This reminds me of how when I first learned about bottom surgery at 5 or so, I thought that you’d get someone who wants a penis and someone who wants a vulva, cut off their genitalia and then just swap it. Another thing is that I thought surgeons used scissors, not scalpels, to cut into their patients.
