Working in IT, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that and how many times it’s been wrong.

People only started getting cancer since we started eating grain. Because of bread, so many people have cancer now.
Being forced to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you is democracy.
Im not sure why the blue conservatives are so worried about a one party government. Just work within the republican primary system and earn your incremental change!
What’s wrong, you dont trust how republicans run their primaries?

5G causes Corona virus is a favourite. Most of the biblical claims but those are too obvious. Excluding religion and conspiracy theories, expensive speaker cables produce sound quality that is superior to cheap cables. Turning a phone off in an aircraft improves safety. My daughter’s teacher confidently informed me that bicycles are more dangerous than cars. That was probably the most depressing and stupid.
I was experiencing auditory hallucinations when trying to sleep, tried to tell my mom about it. She told me the house was haunted and I was hearing the ghosts.
My father built that house when I was a baby.

My sister (who’s not very bright) told me that different wines don’t really have different flavors but that they all taste the same, and that people who claim otherwise are just snobs trying to sound interesting.
This is the same person who told me that sangría is non alcoholic due to the amount of fruit that’s in it.
She should look into becoming a sommelier, she’s letting all that hidden knowledge go to waste.
Honestly, she might have the same thing I do. I don’t know if it’s got a name or anything, but absolutely all red wine tastes like balsamic vinegar to me, almost indistinguishably so, even when I’m sharing it with someone who’s talking about how this one is “fruity” or whatever.
I went through a short phase of thinking I was being pranked. So I’m with your sister on this one, minus the sangria bit lol.
She doesn’t have that.
Maybe she lost her taste buds during covid
As the anti vaxxer that she is, it would make perfect sense, actually.
A large part of wine tasting is bullshit, but different styles are definitely different.
Agree. I hate Malbec and i can tell the difference between it and say, a Pinot noir (my favorite) or a Zweigelt (my second favorite)
I don’t know about “ever”, but someone recently told me bald eagles are the fastest flyers on Earth; even faster than any military jet.
Their baldness makes them extra aerodynamic.
Maybe we should try balding our military jets. Good call.
That’s why the military had never allowed long hair or beards.
😅
were you the one who told them that lol
No but Ive seen them in the wild. Sure they are big ass majestic predators. But they ain’t that graceful or fast.
If you tickle a baby’s feet before they are one year old they will stutter. Told to me by my son’s girlfriend when I was holding my grandson for the first time. It wasn’t a fun fact, it was a rule that I was to obey. So for the record, he should be stuttering by now because I couldn’t resist, and they couldn’t watch me all the time. :)
This sounds like one of the many hispanic old wives tales I have heard through my wife’s family. Tickling was one of them,
Babies aren’t supposed to see their reflection because it will make them vain
Put a red bracelet on the baby to repel evil spirits
Don’t let strangers touch the baby because it will transfer jealousy to the baby
There’s so many more, and WAY more not baby based myths that I have learned that could fill this thread.
My wife has a few of these. Absolutely absurd beliefs that have no leg to stand on
Makes me want to ask what other kooky wrongness they hold in their head, either in childrearing beliefs or general day to day knowledge.
Spare the rod spoil the child
I really don’t want to push things too far with them, but so far I haven’t really been able to hold my grandkids except for very brief periods and even then there are rules. No kissing them on the hands or face, the aforementioned no tickling their feet. They don’t really seem to be up to letting me watch the grandkids at any point, even though I raised my son and his siblings just fine.
The discipline seems to be completely missing, and I had a talk with my son and he attributed it to wanting to stop generational trauma. What the fuck does that even mean? I took it as though he is trying to say he had a bad childhood. But I had a great childhood, and I would say he did too as far as things like not having any abuse in the house, etc. So how far back does one need to go to round up some trauma. Maybe they are talking about his gf’s family? I guess I will have to sit down with him again and see what exactly he means by that.
It doesn’t surprise me that you’re getting limited access to your grandkids if you are not respecting their boundaries, that is, their rules. That they are kooky is beside the point.
I only tickled one grandkids feet for about a second and no one was looking. Other than that I have been very respectful of their batshit decisions (my personal opinion). But thanks for chiming in.
OK, sorry, I misread “I couldn’t resist, and they couldn’t watch me all the time” as meaning you were tickling their feet in front of them and they couldn’t bear to watch.
Damn english. Yeah I can see how that was a way to read it. I meant that they stepped out of the room one time, and I tickled the little guys feet. Who wouldn’t want to tickle a baby’s cute little feet. They never saw me, and I never told them I did it. Now if I was an asshole, I would be telling them what I did, now that he is older and doesn’t stutter, trying to use it to prove them wrong. But I would never bring it up, and only brought it up here because I can remain mostly anonymous so they will never find out.
Oh yes, I hear how much respect you have for them in your posts.
The thread is about the most nonsense thing you have ever been told. I am glad you are so aware of the rest of our relationship. They are entitled to make rules for their kids, but doesn’t mean I don’t respect them in other ways, and doesn’t mean I have to think they aren’t nonsense. Anything else you want to enlighten me about mr freud?
I am glad you are so aware of the rest of our relationship
I only know what you’ve told us: You specifically ignored the rules they asked you to follow when watching their children, they don’t let watch their children (these two points might be related), and you claim to be “respectful of their batshit decisions”.
If some randos on the internet can hear your disdain this loudly…
