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.
I thought credit/debit cards had infinite money. Not sure how that idea didn’t lead to me doing incredibly stupid things.
I somehow also thought my parents got groceries for free because I didn’t see them giving physical paper money to the cashier. Or I confusingly also thought they were stealing or something, and the cashier just let them.
