• From boner's bones melting, to Canadian goblins, the Planet Dolan crew re-enacts some
of the best true stories from our subreddit about the dumbest thing they used to believe
when they were young – I’m [] and today I’ll be your narrator
Number 10 was submitted by Lil-marsh - Emojie Emojie used to think that Canadians were a
mythical race of goblins that gave out sweets to people and that they were the kindest creatures
of all.
This was probably because of the stereotype that all Canadians are kind.
Of course, that doesn't really explain why he thought this until he was 10 years old...
Number 9 was submitted by Lindanimated – Gooby When Gooby was little she didn't understand
why her parents complained about not having enough money.
As far as she could tell, every time they needed some they just went to a big machine
and it spit money out.
Later on she realised that ATMs really don't work that way.
Number 8 was submitted by – CrackedOreo666 - Honeybits
Honeybits used to believe that people died because of her walking.
Her brother told her that every time you take a step someone in the world dies.
So she yelled at her whole family to stop walking and started balling her eyes out when
they didn't listen.
Number 7 was submitted by – Aus_t - Nixxiom
Nixxiom's parents told him that if he didn't go to bed a very tall man with no face would
watch him through the window until he fell asleep.
Almost a decade later, the urban legend Slender Man popped up and all of the memories rushed
back to him.
Number 6 was submitted by – MxCx - Shima Shima used to think that if two people pushed
their bellies together, they'd make a baby.
So obviously she also thought that getting pregnant was inevitable because "mommies and
daddies always slept in the same bed".
So… what if their bellies touched while they were sleeping and the next morning the
mom became pregnant?
Naturally when her mom told her that people could choose when they wanted to have a baby,
she was totally baffled.
Number 5 was submitted by – Modlawsumsauce – Slapped Ham
When Slapped Ham was a kid, his uncle was sent to jail.
Being a curious kid he asked his mom why he went there; she said that it was because he
was smoking weed.
Since he was a kid he thought that "weed" was the same as the weeds that grow in your
yard.
A few weeks later, he saw a guy chewing on a dry weed on his way home.
So he ran home as fast as he could and told his mom.
This made her burst out in laughter, then she called almost everyone she knew and told
them while he was still freaking out about the guy.
Then when she was done calling people she told him the difference between weeds and
"weed".
He felt real stupid and still gets teased about it to this day.
Number 4 was submitted by – fearofvictory - Pringle
Pringle used to think that there was only one president in the history of ever, and
that it was Ronald Reagan.
Weirdly enough, he wasn't even alive during his presidency, he had just heard him mentioned
on the news when he was young and somehow that meant that he was going to be president
forever.
He later realised the truth because the elections came up and Ronald Reagan wasn’t there.
Not sure how he believed it for so long since he was taught about the other presidents in
school, but hey.
THAT’S PRINGLE.
Number 3 was submitted by – TheOceansGreyWaves - Hellbent
During school, Hellbent was talking to his friends and the topic somehow moved on to
the subject of boners.
Back then he thought he had it all figured out: "When your penis gets erect it grows
a bone and when you cum it's the bone inside of your erect penis melting and shooting out."
Is he proud that he actually believed that at any point in his life?
No.
Did his friends call him an idiot for it?
Yes...
Number 2 was submitted by – Yankeeblue – Dolan's Brother
The dumbest thing Dolan's brother used to believe was that if he stood perfectly still
for a long time he would become a mannequin.
He probably started believing this when he was walking through a department store one
day with his mom and he noticed two women standing next to a clothed mannequin; one
of the women seemed to be holding perfectly still.
He thought that she was actually trying to become a mannequin.
From that day on, for the next several years, he made sure to not stand still unless he
absolutely
had to.
