fact-checking
Hello fellow Iwakian!
Did you know that there's a holiday in April dedicated to fact-checking? Initially, it might seem like an absurd holiday, but ultimately, keeping yourself informed and thwarting the dangers of misinformation is crucial for progress, so maybe it does deserve a day of its own. In the spirit of this holiday, I thought it would be fun to discuss ideas that we once thought were fact but later found out were a bit (or incredibly!) wrong.
As an example, here are some funny common misconceptions people tend to have as children:
1. If you swallow a watermelon seed, a watermelon will grow inside your stomach.
2. The moon follows you when you're driving in a car.
3. If you sleep with one leg out of the blanket, a monster will grab it.
