Debunking 10 Everyday Myths—Yes, Bats Aren’t Blind 🤯✨
(Because sometimes, everything you think is wrong... again.)
1. Myth: Bats are blind. 🦇
Reality: Bats can actually see quite well—some even have better night vision than humans. They just prefer echolocation because they’re extra like that.
2. Myth: Goldfish have a three-second memory. 🐟
Reality: Goldfish can remember things for months. Basically, they’d remember that time you forgot to feed them. Forever.
3. Myth: Humans only use 10% of their brains. 🧠
Reality: We use all of our brain—even when we’re binge-watching shows and eating chips. Science says so.
4. Myth: Lightning never strikes the same place twice. ⚡
Reality: Lightning is petty—it absolutely strikes the same place multiple times. The Empire State Building gets hit around 25 times a year. Shocking.
5. Myth: Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis. ✋
Reality: The popping sound is just gas bubbles bursting. No arthritis here—just annoyed people around you.
6. Myth: Ostriches bury their heads in the sand. 🦩
Reality: Ostriches don’t bury their heads—they’re just checking on their eggs or lowering themselves to hide. Basically, they’re better at life than we thought.
7. Myth: The Great Wall of China is visible from space. 🌏
Reality: It’s not visible from space with the naked eye. Turns out, astronauts have better things to look at than ancient walls.
8. Myth: Shaving makes hair grow back thicker and darker. 🪒
Reality: Shaved hair just feels rougher because it’s cut flat. Your hair’s being dramatic, not growing thicker.
9. Myth: You swallow eight spiders a year in your sleep. 🕷️
Reality: Spiders aren’t dumb—they avoid humans because we’re big, loud, and terrifying. Sleep tight. 💤
10. Myth: Vikings wore horned helmets. ⚔️
Reality: Nope. The whole horned helmet thing was a theatrical invention. Vikings were fierce, but not that extra.
