I could believe that. I knew way more about planes, aircraft carriers, etc when I was a kid than I do now (I forgot most of it, and I'm also virtually certain I didn't know this specific fact anyway).
I also used to have like a detailed chronological knowledge of the general troop movements and major battles of the civil war, and now I can barely remember that Gettysburg was after both Bull Runs, and that the first battle was just some Union dudes holed up in a fort getting shelled for days somewhere in the south off the coast. I can't remember what state even, lol.
- caditinpiscinam 3y agoHow did you learn about these things as a kid?
- euroderf 3y agoAssuming pre-internet, probably a public library.
- dmoy 3y agoYea this is it Reading books
- bluGill 3y agoHow did you not? Maybe you learned different things, but every kid I know goes really deep into some weird esoteric topic. Dinosaurs are common.
