When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.

That encountering quick sand in real life was a real possibility every day.

Bonus: My kid doesn’t believe that Santa is magical, he just has really advanced technology.

Clarke’s third law. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Quicksand thing is fucking stupid though.

Every kid from the 80s & 90s was taught* to believe that, so I don’t blame you.

*By movies & books & games and shit, not by teachers. Well, maybe some teachers…
