- Most outrageous / unbelievable lies
- Most offensive / dangerous lies
- Most “adult meant it as genuine advice but it’s laughably out of touch” lies
- Lies you wish you still believed
- Lies you took as truth and didn’t question it until you were way too old
We were learning Roman numerals in elementary school and the teacher made us work out the current year.
I was the first one to correctly work out “MCMXCVIII” only to be quite smugly told by the teacher that you can just do “IIMM”. It took more than a decade until I learned that he was full of shit and my answer was the only correct one.
In Germany you can, but in France you have to do XIX-C-IV*XX+XIIX /s
