This except a TA told me It was a revelatory moment for me, discovering that adults could be morons. Granted, this was the same point in my life where I believed my friend 100% that there were secret steam tunnels leading from one school building to another and that the teachers used them when they wanted to smoke.

In high school we had two programming teachers, a young-ish one and an older man. Classes paired freshmen with juniors and sophomores with seniors, so rumors spread easily through the grades. The rumor was the older teacher was a member of NAMBLA and had crooked pinkies because he'd put them in boy's butts to spread them out before dicking them. I'm pretty sure we all respected him, though, as vile a rumor as that was. He was a good teacher, if a little strange.

In high school though there was a rumour that if you went to the old cement factory at the end of town and walked up the giant chute to the top of the building, the farmer who lived nearby and owned the property would come out with his flashlight and a gun. We went up it and some of the floor was rotting out near the top, right where the chute would be hanging a couple stories over rusted out industrial equipment. So you could still die, just not by the farmer.

Asian girls have sideways vaginas. If you put some sort of special tape, or magnets, or something around the coax cable to your TV, you can see all the premium channels like PPV and Cinemax unscrambled. No more trying to catch a fating glimpse of a naked chick through the TV snow. Back during the run up to Operation Desert Storm, Saddam Insane was plotting an imminent invasion of the west coast of the US along with the Chinese. The Bible posted:Mr. Rogers killed a shitload of dudes in 'Nam and he wore sweaters because his arms were covered in tattoos. Same, but this had and has been an urban legend for a long time.

I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and during the height of the Satanic panic we heard all the usual things a nutty religion would try to scare you with, like playing a record backwards or the possibility of being infected with a mind-controlling pervert demon through your ears, from rock music. We were also scared of Smurfs. There was the Smurf doll that would get up and dance in the middle of the night, the Smurf wallpaper whose eyes would glow in the dark. One persistent rumor had it that a Smurf doll one day said, "gently caress this loving bullshit!" during a meeting and went on a tear around the Kingdom Hall. Or it just ran out of the door in terror of the rightousness, depending on who was retelling the rumor. Kinda like this, without the lady getting her eyeballs torn out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHcdCYf0Xo0&t=296s Of course I was very indoctrinated and believed it, partly because it was less ridiculous and horrible than most JW foundational beliefs and therefore easier to swallow.

Genesplicer posted:Red Dye #2, a common food additive, was linked to cancer in the early 1970s and banned shortly after. Red M&Ms went out of production around 1976. They never actually contained red dye #2, but the company decided not to continue production due to the perception. This is such a wild rumor.

When I was at school we had a guy known as the green man who lived in the woods. It was never really specified what he was doing there or to what end. The best way to protect yourself from the green man was by going into the woods and grinding up bits of dead wood from a specific fallen tree into a powder which was referred to as "gypsy dust" which was supposed to repel him for some reason. Eventually the teachers heard about gypsy dust and pre-emptively banned it despite not understanding what it actually was, which in hindsight is pretty funny.

That's the fascinating kind of child reasoning that makes folklore such a fascinating field to study. Do you mind if I ask what area this happened in? You don't have to get specific, but I write about these kinds of things and I'd love to be able to credit the region.

Neurion posted:What urban legends were popular in your grade school years? weird for us it was smaller dicker and mountain dew had so much yellow dye 5 you guys. some of the urban legends became real though because every year someone was like oh did you hear some girl got raped on the soccer field during the break. its about 100 yrds away from the school and is surrounded by trees. one year while my youngest sister was in hs it actually happened. the main one is that uniforms make it easier to study and do your work because theres less distractions because of class sex or race. Uniforms did jack and poo poo except make people get really good at putting you down for your appearance and making kids insanely nit picky. oh your uniform is from target? i can tell the stitching is garbage and it looks like canvas. snergle fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Jun 12, 2019 |

Oh hey this one may have some basis in truth, except it's dissociatives like ketamine and DXM that cause them in rats and may possibly cause them in humans. Also I can echo the mtn dew/yellow dye making your dick and balls shrink/sperm count decrease rumors, those were still extant in the mid-2000s. Elementary school had a lot of pokemon rumors, since it had just come out. I should ask my nephews what kind of stuff kids today believe, I wonder if the internet's killed the old rumors.
