That the "good guys" won WW2.
Salt and Pepper were opposites. If you had too much pepper, just add salt and vice versa.
I tried that once when I was in grade school when I was heating up a can of chili on the stove. Too much salt came out of the shaker so I tried to offset it with pepper.
I was once very ashamed of myself for absolutely fucking up lemon pepper chicken on the BBQ as a kid. I put waaaaay to much seasoning on. My dad gave me the go ahead, pretty sure he regretted that. I learned.
I had a train set around 7yrs age or so. My father and I built a little city on some press board and wood. Had Trees, grass, bushes, little houses and little people. One day I was playing with it, I was alone, kneeling next to it, my hand on a little person. I suddenly had this realization or thought, definitely had a feeling component to it, Felt like it was true, I had a vision that just as I was the huge being controlling the city/people, The same was true for us, for me, our home and city, That a giant being was the same as me, I thought that this world was just a train set for a higher being. Pretty crazy I was only 7 or 8. I still think about it sometimes. It was like something just dawned on me. I didn't even fully grasp the idea at that tine.
In our town we used to have a multistory hobby shop. The upstairs was trains, only trains. Everything you could imagine. My dad and I spent a decent amount of time and money in there. Now it's just some corporate store.
Around middle school we started Into nitro RC cars. I miss hobbies.
Yes! I loved walking around those shops and just looking at all the cool stuff, True wonderment.
I thought a rattail made me look cool.
Mildly unrelated: in late 1999 there was an ice cream flavor called Y2CAKE. Just kinda stuck with me even though I don't care for flavors like that.
Spinach contain more iron than other veggies.
When I was very young I also believe that the entire world was fake and I was like in Truman Show (that was released decades later).
People were worth a shit. To be fair, I learned they weren't in high school.
I had a somewhat similar belief, it was that grown-ups were wiser and knew what they were doing. Now that I'm in my late 30's, I can see how utterly wrong I was, especially in a post-covid world.

Agreed...
All but #6,
I never bought into that one.
After seeing b&w television shows of old westerns, asked my Grandma if there was color when she was little.
I thought any time you touched 0 on a phone you'd get an operator (live person in the old days) even if the 0 was within the phone number.
I could kill someone with a punch
If you don't mean completely illusory like a hologram then you were sorta right, usually if the scene has consumption in it the prop department is in charge and the items are fake so that they match from take to take and scene to scene, some examples being food coloring a sponge and some watermelon slabs dressed up as a steak or ice cream usually being frosting or a white chocolate confection designed to behave like a durable heat resistant ice cream, so it doesn't melt but can be consumed, apple juice replacing beer and spirits, grape juice replacing wine, if there is a lot of food or drink being consumed there is usually a spit bucket for each actor.
