I remember being like 7 and trying that out for myself by touching a lemon slice to different parts of my tongue. I think when I realised that it tasted sour regardless of where on my tongue I touched it to was when I first started questioning authority.

We had to write angry letters to our children’s school about 5 years ago to get them to stop teaching taste regions. It’s really baffling.

I remember many kids in my schooldays saying the same and being gaslit by the teacher into thinking they tested incorrectly.

Yes. As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this was my introduction to gaslighting. I guess I’m thankful for that.

at similar age, a teacher told me there can’t be polygon bigger than 360-gon, because that would be a circle. i wasn’t of course in a place to fight with her, i just thought “wtf, how dumb is this bitch?”

Wait, that’s not a thing?
My whole life is a lie.
