Goldfish can grow up to 12-14 inches and live 10-15 years in a proper habitat! Just because your parents’ parent did this or you see them at the fair doesn’t mean it’s right.

Long story short, the one second one and the five second one had equal amounts of bacteria.

Actually I believe it is not so much how long the food was on the floor, but how long after it was momentarily of the floor. Bacteria and moulds take time to grow. Eat it straight away and you digestive tract should be able to deal with it. After time the bacteria and mould will reproduce/grow. Just do not put it back in the fridge of serve if up later

That margarine is "one molecule away" from being plastic.

Firstly, "one molecule away" makes no sense. It is a meaningless phrase.

Secondly, being "one atom away" is also meaningless, because a change in atomical structure means the substances are different.

A molecule of H2O has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. H2O is water.

H2O2 has two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.

But we don't caution against drinking water by saying that it's "one atom away" from being hydrogen peroxide, because that one atom completely changes the makeup of that substance. Water isn't "almost" peroxide or vice versa.

This is an oversimplification, obviously, but suffice it to say that you shouldn't take advice from someone who claims that margarine is "one molecule away" from being plastic. It's a complete misnomer.

I don't even like or eat margarine but this drives me up the freaking wall.

That historical armor was basically useless, only increasing the chance of maybe deflecting a blow if you were lucky. You still see it in movies, shows and games where a knife or sword or arrow will go through armor like it's cardboard.

In reality armor was very useful. Very good armor, like a knight's suit of plate, made the wearer virtually invincible. The best plate could stop even early firearms. A knight in full plate and wielding a shield was pretty much the tank of the medieval battlefield. Doubly so if on horseback. Specialized weapons and a concerted effort was needed to defeat one, although typically no one would try to kill a knight since you can't ransom a corpse.

But even simple gambesons, which were made from layers of fabric, could resist a sword cut. High quality gambesons could resist all but the strongest cuts from specialized cutting swords.

Also: that swords were super heavy. A typical one-handed arming sword from the middle ages weighed around 3lbs, 4 max. A two-handed long sword could get up to 5lbs. Rapiers weighed around the same as other swords, which is contrary to popular belief.

Yes, swinging around a 3-4lb object would tire someone out, but the people doing so were generally more fit than the people reading this thread.

Piggybacking on this, the myth that the sword was the most important weapon on the medieval battlefield. Nope, your primary weapon was a sort of polearm - spear, lance if on horseback, halberd, pike, bardiche, naginata, you name it. The sword was actually the sidearm, the weapon you used after your spear broke or became ineffective (tight in melee, for example) or the one you took with you everywhere, even in context where you were unarmored. Sure, there are examples of fully armored knights fighting with two-handed swords, but that's sort of an edge case, because that usually requires a full plate harness and some specific circumstances to pull off and it's debatable wherever it doesn't straddle the border between sword and pole arm anyway, especially later examples, like the Zweihänder of the German Landsknechte, which was popular in the 16th century - those guys even had smaller swords (usually some type of messer) as sidearms to their swords...

History is filled with this stuff, but I'm gonna go with general misconceptions due to an inability to read history in context.

Often if you read a funny and strange story where you go 'haha those dumb superstitious people in the past' in reality there isn't superstition behind it, there's politics and power. For example, if you hear of someone being excommunicated and declared a witch / heretic for some odd reason the truth is the given reason is just a made up excuse, and the real reason is political intrigue.

That all GMOs have to be bad. There's a reason scientists still want to work on GMOs; it could greatly reduce the costs of food production and end world hunger.

Golden Rice, for example, is rice that is modified to maximize beta-carotene (basically vitamin A) to support areas whose diets cause vitamin A deficiencies. Anti-GMO groups oppose the effort (obviously) citing the normalization of GMOs and the corporate control of necessary dietary requirements in impoverished regions as their reasons against Golden Rice, but they fail to prove the rice itself is harmful (one study was believed to for some time, but it got exposed for breaking regulations that could have affected results). I think it's safe to say that children would rather save themselves from starvation than save themselves from glorifying GMOs or corporate dependency

The ONE thing everyone thinks they know about lemmings is bulls**t. They're not "suicidal," and will not succumb to herd-mentality and follow each other over a cliff in a big group if they're scared.

This "fact" originated in a Disney-produced nature documentary (documentary in a very loose sense). They literally made stuff up whole cloth because it looked cool on camera. They chased the lemmings over the edge of a small rise, and used camera tricks to make it look like they were falling to their deaths.

Then the lemmings became a pop-culture metaphor for harmful conformity, and cartoonists all over still reference it.

January and Feburary were the months that were added - they didn't use to keep official track of the months during Winter. King Numa Pompilius was the guy who added these months in around 713 BC.

I dunno if this is still going around but when I was young, it was commonly believed to be illegal to drive in bare feet (ostensibly because metal pedals in older cars grew hot while driving).

... while some myths just sound like weird stuff no one believes in, ... people actually do believe that certain parts of rare animals cure or improve something they're not satisfied about regarding their own body. Often, it is either meant to prolong or enable an erection, or fertility - as if these were mankind's most pressing issues. But the snakeoil salesmen know their customers - something improving your eyesight in old age won't sell as good as something making your hard on a hard to deflate one, or making you horny or fertile, or all of the above. And these beliefs contribute to getting those species extinct - so, I say f**k all that superstition, f**k all the idiot's medicine, f**k all the so-called alternative cures. Evidence based medicine not only works better, it also will not make sharks or tigers extinct. Don't be stupid. Don't believe in magic.

Vaccines do not cause autism at all, but there are things that may lead to an increased rate of autism that are good. For example, preterm infants may be more likely to be diagnosed with autism compared to full term infants. This means that a higher survival rate for preterm infants can lead to an increased rate of autism.

I don't agree with most of what you said, but I do think that autism is overdiagnosed. It's the latest craze. Having said that, I was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. But this was from over 20 years of family members and others telling me they thought I had Asperger's, long before most people had even heard of it. It is a real thing, and I've struggled all my life. (Many people struggle with different things. This is what I've struggled with. I will never have anything close to a normal life or normal relationship.) But I knew a woman who claimed her son was autistic, and that kid was just not. She's was doing it to get attention. Very, very sad. My son's friend was also misdiagnosed with autism, spurred on by her abusive mother. But there is something going on that is increasing autism. It might just be society changing in such a way that people with certain autistic traits being more likely to marry and then having an autistic child.
