There are 10 Commandments.
No - there's 14.
And most of them also have sub-commandments, just to confuse it further.

Not only in School, even at university I was taught the DNA structure was solved by Watson und Crick. But they stole data from Rosalind franklin and even openly admitted it years later.
Edison ivented the light bulb in the US. No, it was Tungsram in Hungary. Edison did employ him as a result though. Bell invented the telephone. No, it was Edison labs. Bell stiole the patent from an Italian guy when he was working in the patent office. Philco invented the TV set. Nothing to do with it, it was Edison-Marconi. The CRT controller was invented in the Soviet Union hence the Philco invention story.

Along with Franklin, I believe a grad student, Raymond Gosling. I feel I'm forgetting about another big contributor, but who knows.
I was taught the Philippines was a US territory. I just learned last night that hasnโt been true since 1946. I went to school in the 90s.
Philippines was a US territory
that hasnโt been true since 1946.
I mean... It was a US territory. Well, at least it was under control of the US in some way. I think one of/the first cruel and unusual constitutional challenges was over something that originated in the Philippines.

"This is the best time of your life, it will never be as easy."
I wasted more time at school than at work and I didn't have Fridays off, so that was a lie.
Going to college was guaranteed success in life.
Gravity Waves didn't exist according to my highschool science teacher
Allergies are entirely genetic. Apparently they ain't or so I hear but it's a bit above my paygrade biology wise

How planes generate lift.
Did they finally find that out? Last time I checked even PhDs in aerospace engineering still added "we think" at the end of their explanations.
NASA has a webpage on aeronautics that says lift is the mechanical force created by a solid object turning a flow of liquid or gas. They also have an equation for calculating lift for any solid object/fluid combo.

I dont remember anything that was proven false. I remember i butted heads with my history teachers constantly. Having history as my hyperfocus of my autism, and hyperactive talking from adhd, i had to correct one teacher a lot.
Saying the classic "the HRE was neither holy nore roman nore an empire" but nobody called it that back then. It was known as just "the empire". And the "holy" part was due to shenanigans with the pope, and it defenetly was an empire in the sense of span. Yes everything was autanomouse, but it was an empire by size of who swears loyalty.
I learned more that the things i back then saw as useless and "why are we being tought that" is actually really important. Example: text analysis if grammer, way of phrasing things, wether the autor clearly frames things threw choice of words, if it is a story, news article or comment
