That tastes have specific regions on the tongue. We actually had to protest when that shit was taught at our son's elementary school. Don't know if it came up for our younger daughter.
Poor kids at school had old atlases where Germany was still separated. But I guess that's just obsolete and not false knowledge.

Yeah, I remember that one. We even did an experiment to "prove" it. I was like, "I kinda taste it everywhere". I don't remember what the punishment was exactly, but it was pretty severe.

That humans came out of Africa once and then settled the rest of the world. In reality there was a constant migration of humans in and out of Africa for millennia while the rest of the world was being populated (and of course it hasn’t ever stopped since).
I love how much DNA analysis has completely upended so much “known” archaeology and anthropology from even just a couple decades ago.

Taste buds are arranged by flavor in four sections of the tongue. Complete load of horseshit.

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.
