I was in 5th grade when my dad told me about the Nuremberg trials and the subsequent Milgram experiments.

Edit Wtf you sick perverts, I was talking about when your parents talk to you about authority bias and how you need to be suspicious of power structures that tell you to do things that you would normally consider horrible acts.

Jesus you can’t talk about Nazis without someone dragging out Sex Ed these days smh

For me it was the body book at the book fair. I learned what the outside and the inside of a boob looked like that day.

Don’t remember the specific age, but it was something in the vein:

“We gotta talk. You know about the sex stuff?”

“Yeah, no problem. Got the internet. Already a master or better.”

“Eyyyyy!”

“Eyyyyy!”

And that was it. But seriously, the internet taught me more than biology class, without all the hoops and whistles.

Are the Milgram experiments a category on porn hub? I mean if it gives you a little zap who am I to judge?

I was 18 or 19 when my dad scared me straight into learning to drive manual transmission.

My father taught me how to drive on a stick shift car. Several years later when I was able to afford it I bought a used Pontiac GTO stick shift. Best car I ever had. I haven’t driven a manual in decades, but I know if I had to today it would come right back to me

Everything I needed to know I learnt from Microsoft Encarta.

When is the remaster coming out? This is the right era to re-release Mindmaze.

Either rewritten for modern perspectives, or with asterix footnotes. There’s bound to be something un-pc in there.

Still, that’s the reason I win at trivia. It would make for great short form content clips.
