What is the one most astonishingly dumb things that, as a child, you believed was absolute truth?
I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

Each video game copy was customized and knew exactly what you would try to do always.
Not from button inputs. That never crossed my mind. Literally thought it was some magical fake interactive movie and the wizards who made them accounted for everything and knew you better than you did.
Needless to say, learning about code and how you can make things read button inputs was a mind-blowing moment for me. I learned what the secret behind the magic was.
I have ever since then been far more curious on how and why things work. Learning about the methods behind the magics.
How old were you? It seems so wild that you'd be young enough to not understand that the button inputs had any effect, but old enough to understand the concept of coding
Probably around 8-10ish?
I knew people MADE the games. I just thought that the how involved so much more super-genius level of predicting the future and several times tried to ‘test’ that by doing weird things like waiting 5 minutes before pressing any buttons. And was amazed that still didn’t fool it.
