What were some misconceptions you had about the world when you were a child?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I thought bisexual people where girls who acted like boys or boys who acted like girls.

I thought they were intersex.

I was reminded this by watching a CPG Grey video.

Its typical for Americans to say the word "Mississippi" between digits to approximate counting by seconds.  Since I grew up in Mississippi, I just always assumed that only people who lived in Mississippi said "Mississippi" while counting seconds and that people in other states used whichever state they were in order to do the same (i.e., "One Alabama, two Alabama; One Massachusetts, two Massachusetts). 

That might be a fun system - "One Chad, two Chad, three Chad", etc.

Mississippians would get really good times at the Olympics...

How far down would the counting go? Only subnational?
