A place for your preferably unique useful or fun sites and kind of a bookmark manager for me :p
While the idea is great, this web page is pretty low effort. Check the facts for 1950 - they are the same as for the 90's.
It's also weak on the sources. Like, a Vox article, really?
Vox is kind of like Wikipedia in the sense that you need to follow-up on their sources.
Yeah, you pick the 1940's and gives the human genome one. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure they weren't teaching that in high school considering wasn't even a word until 1920
Good lord that's a short list I would have thought there would be way more stuff on it...
It is never too* late to learn and correct what we hold for true. I like the idea behind this website. Thanks for sharing.
*EDIT: learned & corrected to to too.
*too
Probably better off just reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions More concise
I guess I was well-read as a teenager, because my era was the 1990s and I didn't buy into any of those myths.
I’m similar apparently, or at least liked learning. 2000s.
I was pretty unimpressed with the list, I never believed some of them (like the genome) and learned most of them were wrong by high school.
I kind of feel like I wasn't even all that well-informed to be honest. I wasn't some super-genius teen. I just didn't buy any of that shit, especially about Columbus.
Only if you went to school in the USA.
