-When i was a child, i thought researchers were actually fighting each other when I heard "researchers are fighting to find a cure for this disease."

-When I was little, I thought that high-voltage lines were there to allow little men to travel in cable cars.

-I thought an autopilot actually worked like in the movie "Airplane", that it was really an inflatable dummy.

 

A moment were you had the false impression you were close to death.

For me:

-Panick attack. I had a stressful internship, and one day, it materialized with a panick attack. Suddenly, i was increasingly paralysed, my skin became insensitive, had heavy tinglings, had hard to breath. I though "that's it, i'm about to die" and managed to call the ambulance. Of course, by the time it arrives, the crisis had stopped, but i went to hospital anyway. This is were i learned that it was a panick attack, and that was not a vital emergency. If you don't know what it is, you're really convinced you're dying.

-When i tried a blood donation. My blood pressure lowered rapidly, i became weaker and weaker and feeling increasingly bad, they had to stop the process.

I was riding with my bicycle. One of the elastic straps sticks out a little from my bag, gets caught somewhere, I hear a loud click, then see it spin in the air and finally land on the other side of the road.

 

For me, it's The revelation of the pyramides. It does everything that shouldn't be done when making a documentary: fallacies, approximations, bad math, not relevant experts (and sometimes so-called experts who are experts of nothing at all), conspiracism, but above all, a completly fucked-up postulate: ancient building have been built by ancient aliens (called "builders") following a precise pattern to advert us of...something, it's not even precisely named.

"Ship" is polysemic an is also a synonym of "boat", i wanted to avoid some puns.

 

For me, it's definitely Pricefield from Life is strange. They would form a really cute couple and i was frustrated to not seeing it in the game.

 

I've never had an SO. :(

-The save points just before a cutscene, so if you die, you are forced to watch the said cutscene again and again.

-When characters are discussing, they say what the player is supposed to do. Dude, i'm the one who's supposed to do so, not the guy you're talking with.

In Vatican, there are 2,28 popes per square kilometer.

 

Personally:
-The bicycle curse. Every bicyle i used had to go to the repairer at least once, even if i borrow it to someone and even when i try to be careful.
-The schedule curse. My agenda is either empty, either full of events i want to go and that are happening the same day.
-The vacations curse. The weather of the place where i'd like to pass my vacations is always sunny, except the days of my actual vacations at the said place.

 

When i don't understand the teenagers slang.

When people younger than me become parents.

When people in age to vote were not born at a time i remember as it was yesterday.

When a music/movie of my childhood become old fashioned.

Considering its youngness, i wouldn't consider its non-aging as "surprising".

 

From my opinion:

-Modern Times
-12 angry men

 

For me, politician. You have to exploit the worst low instincts of the people to get elect and say what they want to hear, even if you don't think a word about it, and you are not obligated to hold any of your promises.

 

For me, it's "Nightmare before christmas", it rocked my entire childhood.

 

Can i suggest a feature request ?

A regular cleanup of dead magazines. Any magazine that have no activity since a defined time should be deleted.
