This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong! (yourschoolgotwrong.com)

Pretty cool site. I like that you’ve included sources for most of the points. I was aware of the 2000’s falsehoods, but I’m sure there are many who aren’t!

Thanks! I'm hoping to update it with some more obscure ones, but I think the fact that I had a little bit of trouble finding true myths is a good thing haha

You should add the Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus re-re-classification debacle. That one spans multiple decades.
