Fun fact: the story that carrots imporve eyesight in the dark comes from ww2.
You see, the brits had a knew piece of technology, the radar, and they wanted to keep it a secret. And how did they explain that they were seeing enemy bombers in the night? They said, the pilots eat lots of carrots, that improve their night vision!

my brother was in a band called popular misconception. when people all said they were a good band, the band always said "yeah that's a popular misconception."

The reason why bullfighting capes are red by the way? Not only is red the color of passion and drama, but matadors hide their swords in the red cape and stab the bull as it charges past, and what better color to mask the bloodstains? There's a reason it's called "bullfighting" and not "bull-happy-funtime-hour"

you can't stop me from duplicating worms

No intro, no outro, lots of examples given to help understand, slow pace speaking but gets through all the concepts fast, too good .

1:58 Bro the tongue myth was taught at my college chemistry lab and I flat out refused it because I could taste on all my buds 🤣
4:32 While tomatoes are fruits, they are also considered vegetables. The term "vegetable" is not scientific, but rather a culinary term, in which tomatoes amongst leafy greens and other types of plants are described as. It's similar to saying "Lettuce is actually a leaf, not a vegetable".

[Typhani-Mariekamai]

I KNEW ABOUT THE TASTEBUDS. I was in elementary school and i wondered if your whole mouth could taste so i put a skittle on the roof of my mouth. AND I TOLD MY TEACHER and she had the class LAUGH AT ME. geniuses truly aren’t appreciated in their time

[markosmywords]

A notable exception to the “cutting worms in half” myth is hammerhead worms, which _do_ become two separate worms when split in half. That’s why they’re such an invasive species, bc they’re nigh impossible to kill outside of dissolving them.

#3 is incorrect. Goldfish secrete a growth limiting hormone. This builds up in their aquarium and limits the size of their growth. If they are released into a lake or large pond, they will then grow to a large size. This is a natural adaptation that will limit their growth if they become too overcrowded, or if they become stuck in a small body of water. A goldfish in an aquarium that receives frequent large water changes will grow bigger than one in an aquarium that receives fewer water changes. You can easily look up pictures of goldfish released into lakes or ponds that have grown to a very large size.

Whenever I hear someone mention that you swallow a certain number of spiders I always say “that’s a myth. Spiders love moist and dark places so it’s probably way more”

My favourite type of common misconception is "annoyed parents don't want their child doing something but can't come up with an actual reason it's bad for them, then they never admit it."

anyone that thinks a dogs mouth is cleaner than a humans mouth has not seen what my dog does with his tongue

6:02 I realized just a couple years ago that the sun was yellow for the same reason the sky is blue; the atmosphere scatters the blue light

Similar to giving cats milk, you shouldn't feed birds breadcrumbs. Bread isn't nutritiously viable, and fills them up, so they don't eat proper food. Too much bread can lead to vitamin deficiency or even starvation.

“Tomatoes aren’t vegetables, they’re fruits” is actually a common misconception in of itself. “Vegetable” is a culinary term referring to any kind of plant matter used for cooking, while “fruit” is a scientific term referring to any kind of seeded plant mass. Since tomatoes fit both of these descriptions, tomatoes are both fruits AND vegetables. This also applies to cucumbers, eggplants, squash, pumpkins, and many other vegetable fruits.

All types of frogs explained (I love frogs)

[uno_revers]

My favourite one is the frog one, cause the guy who did the experiment technically proved it right. However, the only way he got the frogs to stay in the water gradually heating was by removing the frog's brain.
