I used to believe tasers were just tranquilizer guns that use electricity instead of drugs. I didn't realize that electricity had to be applied directly to the head to cause unconsciousness.

I used to believe that tranquilizer darts make people fall asleep within 10 seconds. I also didn't realize it's possible to accidentally make a killer dart instead of a tranquilizer dart if you overcalculate the drug dosage.

i used to think that i was a technopath like ryan walker from mech x4 one time i discovered i could lock and unlock a car by staring at its door handle i could also control the car stereos volume through thoughts and even change the stereos channel by moving my hand in the air and this one time i activated an animatronic skeleton through staring later my technopathy stopped working till i was 17 i even thought that the government would take me away from my house not for experimentation but rather to make me pilot a giant robot hidden in a secret government base re engineered or built from alien technology that can only be piloted by someone with my power kinda like mechx4 maybe the government are building giant robot mechsuits from otherworldly technology hiding them in secret government areas and recruiting technokinetic people to fight interdimensional monsters but ive i also heard other requirements for being a mech pilot in mechx4 which i mentioned earlier you have to be a technopath but in shows like rahxephon you have to have strange alien markings for you to pilot a mech
