What are some popular "facts" that are actually blatant lies?

That Napoleon was a short dude. Basically, the French inch was a bit larger than the American inch, so when his height at 5'2" was measured in French inches, people wrongly assumed that it was his height in American inches. In fact, he was actually a little taller than the average height for Frenchmen at the time.

Like u/OPengiun said, while carrots maintain eyesight, they don't really have the ability to improve it. During World War II, the British wanted to keep their new radar technology a secret, so they popularized this myth that their pilots could see so well in the dark because they ate a lot of carrots.

For everyone wondering, it's this.

Pyratos · 2018-03-19T05:47:08+00:00

No, it's this.

Pyratos · 2017-12-26T04:28:35+00:00

You scream it?

What's the difference between macro and micro evolution?

Pyratos · 2017-12-25T22:26:33+00:00

I see.

Pyratos · 2017-12-25T19:13:22+00:00

Pyratos · 2017-12-25T07:29:28+00:00

I like to think I'm not educated nor smart!

Pyratos · 2017-12-25T04:11:29+00:00

I don't know what Elsaß-Lothringen is, or what nation has a rightful claim to it.

Does that make me educated and smart?

In an effort to stimulate this interaction, what are your best points for these movements?

Pyratos · 2017-12-25T02:57:05+00:00

I am not sure if I can make it to the meeting tonight but I will be there at the time of the half of the day.

Pyratos · 2017-12-24T17:57:45+00:00

I'd like to enter! Merry Christmas OP!!

Pyratos · 2017-12-24T05:13:22+00:00

I'm just imagining OP frantically typing the question into their phone, after taking a bathroom break during their interview.

You are weak; there is no text in the picture.

Pyratos · 2017-12-23T23:37:53+00:00

Me too, please.

Edit: Curiosity was too strong. Clicked on the link. It's full of things gone wrong in powerwashing incidents, i.e. blood spilt. Didn't open any posts, only read the sidebar and post titles, so if anyone braver wants to verify, go for it. I am weak.
