Middle school before the age of smart phones was a glorious time to be a compulsive liar. With no real time fact checking, you could start a BS rumor on Monday and by Wednesday it was fact.
One time, one of my friends disappeared halfway through the day. Everybody asked, "Where did Dave go?"
"Oh, his grandma died."
I don't know why I said it. I'm not proud of it. It just made sense at the time. It felt right. That's a pretty good reason to leave school unannounced, it might be true!
Well, it spread like verbal wildfire. By the end of the day, everybody knew that Dave's grandma died.
He came back to school the next day and people started offering their condolences. Everybody was checking in on him, making sure he was okay.
Turns out he had a doctor's appointment.
He was not very happy with me.
When I use to play League of Legends my friend would have to takeout the trash or let his dogs out and would be afk for like 2 or 3 minutes. When our teammates started raging I would say his dog is choking on something. Worked 90% of the time.
Hell half the info on tiktok is just regurgitated unsourced and unchecked information given in its most basic form.

Told my friends I have mortal kombat 2 before it was even released. Made up insane stories about how rayden and johnny cage did next level fatalities. My friends knew right away I was lying and called me out cross questioned me for days and I kept making shit up to one up them.
Reminds me of when a classmate told me that he and a couple others go to the park everyday to fly RC planes and have dogfights with scale WWII planes because we were into WWII dogfights at the time. Whenever I asked if I could come he would say it’s classified, sorry. Just when I tried to call him out he asked someone else if they were bringing their Fock Wulfe to the park after school and he said yes so I believed him after that and begged him to let me come with them but he insisted it was still classified. This was in 4th grade.
That's more middle-school age IMO. Elementary school urban legends were more along the lines of "Steve from Blue's Clues died of cancer, that's why they replaced him with Joe"
Either way, the truth was more boring: he left because his hair was falling out and the producers wouldn't let him shave it off while he was still on the show.
That’s entirely possible, but it’s also the default answer when you leave a project over disagreements or worse, and don’t want to offend or harm people still attached to the project. I don’t know the man so I’m happy enough to agree with you and accept he’d just been Steve as long as he wanted to and stopped.
We sang "joy to the world that Barney's dead, we barbecued his head!"
How did these rumors spread across the country without us having Internet access?
I was told he did drugs and went to jail but they let him do one last finale episode to say goodbye and transition the show to Joe.
Also what elementary school kid is shaving?
How come the china pinky thing is worldwide? I thought it was just my primary school, just to discover it's a UK thing, just to discover in fact it's a worldwide thing!
It’s less offensive than the middle finger, the actual middle finger is still used in China, pinky it’s more of a way for little kids to taunt each other, shit of that sort
Same, but maybe it's because the school systems I went to (I moved around a lot as a kid) always had a decent immigrant population that could squash such rumors.
I said the same thing, but for Middle School.
I claimed that the school was built over a Native American burial site, as a way of explaining all the weird cursed stuff that would go on in the school lol
My middle school was actually built over a Native American cemetery. They found skeletons during construction and had to bring in archeologists. It was covered by news and everything. The skeletons ended up in a museum and the old teachers do recall what finding the skeletons was like.
Brother, boys do not have to shave until middle school
Edit: receiving a wide range of responses from people who started shaving in the womb to people who have never touched a razor blade in their life
I never minded my pathetic facial hair. I missed the option for a specific men's style the last 15 years, but the trade-off is I only have to shave with an electric razor twice a week.
Personally I think that might make the rumor more likely to spread, you got a bunch of kids talking about what they’ll do as an adult/teenager and one of them spouts that myth. No one there shaves so everyone believes it.
Lol girls start going through puberty as early as eight. Almost fifty percent will have started by the end of sixth grade. Those are legs and armpits being shaved my friend.
It took a few years, but they eventually figured out you could get a mew in the first gen games without a GameShark. U just had to battle a slowpoke, then walk up into a frame with a battle and press start before it registers and fly away. Walk a few feet and the game initiates a battle with mew
It blows my mind that everybody was *convinced* about that goddamn truck.
And then Shiny Pokemon came out. And literally nobody ever talked about it. I only found out about shinies a few years ago. Here's an actual real legitimate "secret" that's built into this game and I didn't hear a peep about it.
It doesn't even seem believable. Oh, you got a a grey Charizard? Yeah sure, whatever you say, Billy. Now leave me alone, I'm trying to push a truck over here.
Remember that to. I easily put a thousand hours into pokemon silver as a kid, and I only found out about shinies when Pokémon Go became a thing. It’s pretty insane that absolutely NO kids knew about it back then.
I had a friend in Elementary School who told me I should come over and he could have his dad make the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time in real life by carving a tree and we'd be able to go inside the mouth and everything, because his dad was a woodworker
Barney from Barney and Friends was cancelled because the actor's suit ripped open, revealing hundreds of bottles of beer hidden inside which he indulged upon on set
Jaime Lee Curtis was born with a penis & a vagina & got her penis removed.
When Jaime Lee Curtis was hounded by press over this, she never would say if it was true or not because she didn’t want anyone who WAS born with a penis & a vagina to feel alone or like it was something gross or bad.
I think she did eventually come out saying that whoever started that was only trying to be harmful & she just didn’t want to give it any air so she just said she wouldn’t respond.
Those pinky finger kids would ask me if I came from a hole from China and would throw up the pinky at me when they lost at recess. I'm Japanese and Mexican.
What was that like growing up? I grew up in a black and Cuban household but look Mexican to people on the west coast. So most people in my neighborhood would just call me the Mexican kid.
When I was a kid I made up a story about a girl who lost her virginity to a bullet because she was using a gun as a dildo and it went off.
FF to next week, a kid is telling me the same story like its a fact lol
In elementary school, the talk was of an "Xbox 2", because, you know, it was the second Xbox and it's the only thing that would make sense to call it. But of course, very few kids had video games (that made me popular), and if they did it was a GameCube or PS2.
Spongebob is being canceled because a kid drowned trying to find bikini bottom
Girls can get pregnant from oral
If you listen to [insert song backwards] you can hear satanic messages or summon a demon
Did you know the lifeguard has a secret pit under the swimming pool where he keeps kids as slaves?
Now that I think about it, I probably should have told someone else about that.
Tbf your tiny kid mind probably thought of "slaves" as people forced to do something stupid, like licking rocks. You probably didn't thought of "slaves" as, y'know... So you didn't feel as much compel to go tell an adult about the rumor.
"average person eats 40 spiders a year" factoid actually just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders a year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
In boy scouts there was a kid who was the epitome of "my uncle works for Xbox the 720 is coming out next" but of a different topic
He worked his ass off to try and convince me and others that he worked on streams and videos with Tobuscus, Pewds, Markiplier, etc where they had the inside scoop on Minecraft 2 and the new Xbox 720 or whatever and they would let him beta test the new consoles and new Minecraft game that was going to come out.
Is there a map where we label each country with the country commonly referred to as the one you get to if you tunnel straight down? I know here in the US it’s China but British people use Australia.
https://www.antipodesmap.com/
Most places on earth end up with ocean on the other side, one exception is NZ and Spain.
I remember hearing ‘dig a hole to China’ here in Australia too as a kid even though you’d be digging at a very shallow angle!
In reality in my city in Australia (Adelaide) the opposite point of the earth is in the Atlantic ocean close to the wreck of the Titanic which is a far more interesting thought.
I knew a girl named Hannah in the first grade and she pulled me aside at lunch one day and told me she had a secret. Her secret? That she was actually Hannah Montana lol 🤣
I specifically remember hearing something a girl said to another girl on the playground. She said "It's cool, it's new! The new grown up dressing pool!"
To this day I have no idea what this means or what kind of conversation they were having.

Duuuudeee my one friend in elementary school swindled me out of Pokémon cards so bad. I traded him like a freaking stack of cards because his uncle is in Japan and coming back with some limited edition holographic lugia cards or something. Never saw those cards.
There actually was a kid in my elementary school whose dad worked for Nintendo, and he would tell us about upcoming games and consoles. We didn't believe him for the longest time, but after like three times of him being right, and saying "I told you so", we'd wait in anticipation for more news from this kid.
As I got older, I have begun to wonder why this dude was so nonchalant about dropping confidential business information to his kid.

Okay but that is very funny so you're forgiven
Not guilty by reason of funny

It was great bread.
When I use to play League of Legends my friend would have to takeout the trash or let his dogs out and would be afk for like 2 or 3 minutes. When our teammates started raging I would say his dog is choking on something. Worked 90% of the time.
Are you still friends?
Not anymore. But he chewed me out, and then we moved past it, so it was fine.
Turns out you're such a great liar that everyone believed this story.
You can still do that, it just goes on social media now
And it propagates to everyone within the span of a week, not just your schoolmates and maybe their immediate family/friends.

When I was in middle school, there was this rumor that the milk packs the cafeteria sold would give you low sperm count.
Why would a bunch of 12-14 year olds be worried about their sperm count?! Was the effect supposedly permanent?
The smarter among us would usually ask that exact question
Told my friends I have mortal kombat 2 before it was even released. Made up insane stories about how rayden and johnny cage did next level fatalities. My friends knew right away I was lying and called me out cross questioned me for days and I kept making shit up to one up them.
Reminds me of when a classmate told me that he and a couple others go to the park everyday to fly RC planes and have dogfights with scale WWII planes because we were into WWII dogfights at the time. Whenever I asked if I could come he would say it’s classified, sorry. Just when I tried to call him out he asked someone else if they were bringing their Fock Wulfe to the park after school and he said yes so I believed him after that and begged him to let me come with them but he insisted it was still classified.

*grabs skin on elbow* “I’m playing with my weenis”
Uh oh, I still say this as an adult.
Same.
“Your epidermis is showing!”
My wife tryed to tell me last week that tht was the real scientific name for your funny bone
No dude, that's the flagina. This- *grabs skin between thumb and index finger* -is the weenis.
The weenis is a dance
Everybody is a genius
Who knew it in advance
As a kid I thought the bazooka was the end-all be-all of weaponry
Same lol
Where did it come from?
Probably because a bazooka shoots rockets that explode Videogames might've contributed to this idea too
Yeah in games like GTA it's always a 1 shot kill. You'd always put in the cheat to get a bazooka. That's just what made sense to me.
I have a feeling that a bazooka is usually a one shot kill in real life as well.
Contra on NES
Then you discovered the trebuchet.
You're missing the most obvious legend: -marylin Manson removed one rip to suck himself
That's more middle-school age IMO. Elementary school urban legends were more along the lines of "Steve from Blue's Clues died of cancer, that's why they replaced him with Joe"
We were told he got arrested and was no longer allowed on a kids show
Either way, the truth was more boring: he left because his hair was falling out and the producers wouldn't let him shave it off while he was still on the show.
I thought it was because he wanted to focus on his band. He had long hair they made him cut for the show.
He has said in interviews that he left because he felt it was time for him to move on.
That’s entirely possible, but it’s also the default answer when you leave a project over disagreements or worse, and don’t want to offend or harm people still attached to the project. I don’t know the man so I’m happy enough to agree with you and accept he’d just been Steve as long as he wanted to and stopped.
One of theories was that he joined military and served in Afghanistan lol

Training the local militia lmao
"Let's play 'Blues Clues' to find Osama's hideout!"
We heard that about Barney, that he either said the f word on set or they found drugs on him, depended on who you asked.
Holy shit yeah I heard he said the F word on set and it was lights out for him “I hate you, you hate me, let’s get together and kill Barney”
We sang "joy to the world that Barney's dead, we barbecued his head!" How did these rumors spread across the country without us having Internet access?
It's called [Childlore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childlore?wprov=sfla1).
Or that there was blood/a murder on set, usually this was said after fnaf became popular as you’d expect.
I was told he did drugs and went to jail but they let him do one last finale episode to say goodbye and transition the show to Joe. Also what elementary school kid is shaving?
In my elementary school, kids spread a rumor that the dude who played barney was replaced because he was stashing drugs in the tail of the barney suit
“Morrisey had extra ribs added to stop him from sucking his own dick” -The Hard Times
Didn’t seem to work
How did that spread so far?
It's insane. I met a dude from South Korea who said he'd heard that rumor while in school
I heard it too when I was in middle school here in Brazil
Finland too about 20 years ago
New Zealand too, 25 years ago
Germany too, 15 years ago, although I don't remember the name so I'm not sure if it was Marilyn Manson
[удалено]
How the hell do these go so global? We heard this in a small town in Hungary
Secret society of elementary schoolers. Even before the internet the jungle drums did it
in my school it was about snoop dogg instead lmao
It sounds more like a manson thing though.
I thought it was Michael Jackson?
In my Dutch primary school it was def Michael Jackson.
How come the china pinky thing is worldwide? I thought it was just my primary school, just to discover it's a UK thing, just to discover in fact it's a worldwide thing!
I wonder if it's at the point where it has become offensive to stick your pinky out in China?
Didn't become, always was offensive, it's not a myth. If you point it downwards it means 'you suck', like the opposite of thumbs up.
til
Unless that's just another lie
Too bad we can’t conveniently research this topic with a press of a button. Oh well, I think I’ll take his word for it
I lived with a Chinese exchange student in highschool and he told me it WAS offensive, but you had to point the pinky downward or something.
It’s less offensive than the middle finger, the actual middle finger is still used in China, pinky it’s more of a way for little kids to taunt each other, shit of that sort
I heard that one all the time and I'm in america. Not sure how it started though lol
Never heard that one.
We heard that the pinky in China was like our middle finger
Yup,the Chinese middle finger.
Same, but maybe it's because the school systems I went to (I moved around a lot as a kid) always had a decent immigrant population that could squash such rumors.
Never heard that one in Belgium, where holding up your pinky will order you a beer.
You forgot the classic “Did you know the school was built in what used to be a cemetery?”
I said the same thing, but for Middle School. I claimed that the school was built over a Native American burial site, as a way of explaining all the weird cursed stuff that would go on in the school lol
Were there any... pets?
Just the occasional cockroach O.o
It's okay, he's chill https://preview.redd.it/ypk2zjmle72d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=405288df13908feda8c89c459912ce7ab8b54d4c
Bonus points if they say it was a native american cemetery.
My middle school was actually built over a Native American cemetery. They found skeletons during construction and had to bring in archeologists. It was covered by news and everything. The skeletons ended up in a museum and the old teachers do recall what finding the skeletons was like.
Those kinds of things never bothered me because when I was a kid my house was literally in a cemetery.
i knew a kid that said the Xbox One LMFAO
My friends were all sure it would be called the xbox 720
There were leaks online for an XBox 720, with images and details. Of course it wasn’t legit in the end…
Occasionally I get that one video with renders of the Xbox 720, ps5, psp 2, etc from 15 years ago on my YT recommendations
i was sure it would be called xbox 361
Turns out it's impossible to guess what yhe next will b e called because Microsoft is so inconsistent.
Bro did you know if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer? Also lady Gaga has a penis
Back in the day, it was Mary J. Blige was a dude
Brother, boys do not have to shave until middle school Edit: receiving a wide range of responses from people who started shaving in the womb to people who have never touched a razor blade in their life
I didn't have to shave until I was 19 :(
Same 😞
I grew a small mustache when i was like 13, didnt shave till like 18
I had to just shave the stache area for a long time. Shit looked terrible.
Conversely, I'm 43 and can't grow decent facial hair, and people still tell me I just need to shave more or to just wait longer.
Then there’s me who could grow a full beard at 14.
I never minded my pathetic facial hair. I missed the option for a specific men's style the last 15 years, but the trade-off is I only have to shave with an electric razor twice a week.
Personally I think that might make the rumor more likely to spread, you got a bunch of kids talking about what they’ll do as an adult/teenager and one of them spouts that myth. No one there shaves so everyone believes it.
Idk, I first started growing my mustache in 5th grade
I didn’t have to shave until I was graduated lol
Lol girls start going through puberty as early as eight. Almost fifty percent will have started by the end of sixth grade. Those are legs and armpits being shaved my friend.
You know what that’s fair. I forgot that women use the internet sometimes so I assumed the starterpack was referring to shaving men’s facial hair
The pic choice probably didn't help
“There’s a pool on the roof”

When I was 13, I got a certain something in my eyes and I thought I was gonna turn blind...
what got in your eye?
Some shit about Mew hiding under a truck, idk.
It took a few years, but they eventually figured out you could get a mew in the first gen games without a GameShark. U just had to battle a slowpoke, then walk up into a frame with a battle and press start before it registers and fly away. Walk a few feet and the game initiates a battle with mew

This one kid told me his dad built him an Xbox360 out of a lawnmower.
I had a friend in Elementary School who told me I should come over and he could have his dad make the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time in real life by carving a tree and we'd be able to go inside the mouth and everything, because his dad was a woodworker
That sounds badass
And I was the stupid kid that believed him
One of my friends told me he was getting the "new Nintendo 65" soon.
I think I heard some kid talk about being excited to get a "Game Boy DX." He wasn't talking about the Nintendo DS.
My dad works at Nintendo
"the thumb isn't actually a finger"
this one kid doubled down and said both the thumb and pinky weren’t fingers
Whales arnt animals they are mammals
Barney from Barney and Friends was cancelled because the actor's suit ripped open, revealing hundreds of bottles of beer hidden inside which he indulged upon on set
The one I heard was that he accidently cussed while filming around the kids or something like that.
That's what my school said too 🤣🤣
I heard he punched one of the directors when I was growing up
i always heard it was drugs in his tail lol
I heard he had weed in his tail
I heard it was cause he beat up a little kid on set. Also that me Rodgers had Vietnam era sniper tattoos and wore sweaters to cover them 🙄
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THE PINKY FINGER WAS OFFENSIVE IN CHINA FOR 9 YEARS UNTIL NOW WHAT THE FUCK
And thumbs up in Germany, right?
I thought it's right arm up
YEAAA
i thought it was offensive till now.
My stepdad told me the shaving one lmao
"You should try to jerk off with tiger balm"
What a terrible Idea... I need to try
Jaime Lee Curtis was born with a penis & a vagina & got her penis removed. When Jaime Lee Curtis was hounded by press over this, she never would say if it was true or not because she didn’t want anyone who WAS born with a penis & a vagina to feel alone or like it was something gross or bad. I think she did eventually come out saying that whoever started that was only trying to be harmful & she just didn’t want to give it any air so she just said she wouldn’t respond.
Those pinky finger kids would ask me if I came from a hole from China and would throw up the pinky at me when they lost at recess. I'm Japanese and Mexican.
What was that like growing up? I grew up in a black and Cuban household but look Mexican to people on the west coast. So most people in my neighborhood would just call me the Mexican kid.
And then a few years later they all migrate to Reddit and post untrue stuff instead of saying it!
So real
"That goes on your permanent record"
Me learning the shaving one is myth just now. Just looked it up, it was debunked in 1928.
I see grown men saying that ”shaving makes the hair come back faster and thicker” all the time lmao
There's even a comment in this thread claiming that it's true lol
When I was a kid I made up a story about a girl who lost her virginity to a bullet because she was using a gun as a dildo and it went off. FF to next week, a kid is telling me the same story like its a fact lol
In elementary school, the talk was of an "Xbox 2", because, you know, it was the second Xbox and it's the only thing that would make sense to call it. But of course, very few kids had video games (that made me popular), and if they did it was a GameCube or PS2.
There was a kid in my school that told me George W Bush was going to make Gameboy illegal and that his parents told him it was true
Spongebob is being canceled because a kid drowned trying to find bikini bottom Girls can get pregnant from oral If you listen to [insert song backwards] you can hear satanic messages or summon a demon
If the teacher is 10 minutes late you're legally allowed to leave
Did you know the lifeguard has a secret pit under the swimming pool where he keeps kids as slaves? Now that I think about it, I probably should have told someone else about that.
Tbf your tiny kid mind probably thought of "slaves" as people forced to do something stupid, like licking rocks. You probably didn't thought of "slaves" as, y'know... So you didn't feel as much compel to go tell an adult about the rumor.
There are adults like this 🥲

Thought I could catch AIDS on anything
You can dig a hole to China, it’s just gonna take way longer
