Everything You Learned Is Wrong?! Spider Myth & Childhood Lies Debunked

from Jen, Gabe & Chewy

Turns out… some of the things we were taught growing up aren’t just wrong — they might be the exact opposite of true. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew dives into a surprisingly fascinating conversation about things you have to unlearn as an adult, sparked by one wild realization: 👉 Putting spiders outside doesn’t save them — it actually kills them. 🕷️ The Spider Myth For years, many people were told: Don’t kill spiders Catch them and release them outside Help the ecosystem But according to new info: 👉 Most house spiders can’t survive outside 👉 Catch-and-release = death sentence 🧠 The Bigger Idea: What Else Isn’t True? That leads to a bigger conversation: 👉 What else did we grow up believing that just isn’t real? Examples include: Turning on the car dome light will get you pulled over Sitting too close to the TV will ruin your eyes Leaving lights on will drain your battery instantly 😂 Why Parents Told Us These Things The crew breaks it down: Some were just easier explanations Some were about controlling behavior Some were based on outdated information 🤯 Other Things We Might Have Wrong The conversation even expands to: How dinosaurs actually looked (more bird-like than reptile) How “common knowledge” evolves over time
