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.

Demons are real and they live inside your computer delivering your emails and internet. Before computers they used to screw around with physicists and mathematians and break their theories but now they're too busy to do that anymore.

Not religious in the slightest, my dad just saw me asking what Beastie on his BSD machine's screensaver was and decided to fuck with me when he realised I didn't know what a demon (in any sense of the word) was

That's a good one! Do you have any idea how you came to believe that? An offhand comment from a parent?

I used to think unicorns were real.

I still think they're real.

[โ€“] LongPigFlavor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I hope you find your unicorn one day.

Least unreasonable childhood belief. There are horses. There are animals with horns. Why not a horse with a horn?

I think I actually recall a radio show where a guy thought unicorns were real up until his mid 20s. Not that he thought they were magic or anything, just that there was a horse-like animal with one horn that actually existed and was probably endangered or something.
