I had people arguing with me about blue blood long after the internet was available to everyone. I wouldn't ever tell them they were stupid, but I would say, "I don't think that's right" and they would usually say they learned it in biology or a science class in high school and I would say, "that still doesn't sound right. We should look that up later when get home to our computers" and then They would look at me like I was the idiot for suggesting they were misinformed in school... because you know... school teachers NEVER misinform their students... like ever 🙄

Speaking of misinforming your students; shout out to Miss O'Leary for saying Russia could Invade Canada with Tanks because we were landlocked during the colder months via the arctic.

Fuuuuck. I need to have a look online. I still thought that was true.

45 - UK - sometimes acts like an adult. Obviously has a lot of garbage stuck in my brain.

Edit. FUCK. Yup, not blue. Optical illusion.

For anyone wondering, no it doesn't freeze over in winter but there are chunks of ice you can hop across that might eventually get you to the firmer ice along the respective shores:
