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
My dad never gave me “the talk.” It was my mother. According to her, when I was around 7-8 years old, she overheard one of my friends making crude remarks about having sex with women. And he didn’t understand how a woman’s biology worked, so he was extremely inaccurate in his description of the act.
My mother decided at that moment that I needed a lesson in how sex actually works, so she went out and bought an educational children’s book about where babies come from. Then she sat me down and read through it with me.
Honestly, I kind of like the fact that I was taught so young. I was already mature for my age, and being taught before I was a ball of raging hormones meant that I could comprehend it from an educational standpoint and not a “what’s wrong with my body/I need to get laid” mindset.
My school didn’t teach sex education until 8th grade. By then, everyone was horny as hell and making poor decisions. Because I already understood how it all works (and no one wanted to ask our teacher all the embarrassing questions), I ended up being a bit of a relationship counselor for my friends.
Is 8 considered early? My kid is 6 and I am starting to feel like we have waited too long already.
Here in America? It’s super early. Americans don’t like to talk about sex with children, so they wait until we’re already experiencing puberty to finally tell us what’s going on. Hence why my Sex Ed class was in 8th grade (around 13-14 years old).
How does this have anything to do with the Nuremberg trials?
It doesn’t, but then again, no one else seemed to be talking about them either, so I decided to contribute to the main discussion in the comments.
OP edited the post two and half hours after putting it up to make it something else entirely.
Nope, the edit was shaming everyone for their dirty, dirty minds. Right to the gutter they go. It says right there where I write edit
Btw this post, and thread, is filled with silly geese
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.
Pornhub bass riff
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 9 or 10 when my dad taught me about the birds and the bees, I’d missed learning it in school.
i still dont know the birds and the bees metaphor.
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
I learned that at 12 without anybody being scared.

He didn’t need that neck
Is that related to the lemon stealing whores?
based on my childhood trauma… no
but i don’t know anything about these lemon stealing whores lol
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.
reincarnating encarta?.. reincarta?
My dad taught me to be a freak in the sheets.
Excel sheets, to be precise.
so you’re a pivot table man, then?
He started at the visual basic level, but now he’s packing a full python experience.
You have no idea how actually true that is.
Look, there must be limits. The amount of sex-demand one would get from doing something like this is beyond what any person could survive
Doomed to it you could say
Never did. I think we were still waiting for his dad to give him “the talk”.
They’ve both passed now. :(
Damn, he never learned how to have sex :(
Dad? What’s a dad? Jokes aside, I was educated by the internet … I wouldn’t really trust my parents with any of that information.
I grew up in a conservative christian household. “The talk” basically amounted to “Keep it in your pants until you’re married. You can figure things out then.”
First girlfriend. Was 16 or so. Was coming home from seeing her, walking through the garage with a big dumb smile on my face.
My dad, without even turning to look at me just says;
“Don’t be bringin’ no babies home.”
And that, as they say, was that.
At least your dad didn’t sign you up to be a participant in a peer reviewed follow up to Milgram
I had to learn that stuff on the street
by which I mean the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, 1994 edition.
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.
Never happenedEdit: always read the body of the post kids
Fuck off, the Holocaust absolutely happened and we need to learn why.
I DIDNT READ THE BODY OF THE POST HOLY MOLY
Tsk tsk go back to your compound in Idaho 😤
This whole thread has been wonderful. Thank you for your service. 🫡
I was 14 when my dad sat me down and told me how to behave around cops.
My mom was taking undergrad classes when I was in highschool. She thought it was interesting, and we discussed it.
