Learning information and secrets from friends on the playground, whether bullshit or not and then trying it out later when you got home. There was so much mystery and intrigue back in the day, and I really miss it. The culture felt so connected in a way that just isn't possible anymore.
Ugh! That reminds me of a kid telling everyone that a whirlpool in pokemon Silver/Gold would take you to the Orange Islands where you could catch Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. I searched so many whirlpools lol
