Fellow fedizens! As decreed by https://xkcd.com/843/ some fifteen years ago, it is once again time to spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions.

Miss Lenhart stands in front of a blackboard with a laptop in her hand, saying: Okay, middle school students, it’s the first Tuesday in February. This means that by law and custom, we must spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article List of common misconceptions, so you can spend the rest of your lives being a little less wrong. The guests at every party you’ll ever attend thank us in advance.

@LucasWerkmeister
Lemmings do not engage in mass suicidal dives off cliffs when migrating.
"The lemmings in the film were actually purchased from Inuit children, transported to the filming location in Canada and repeatedly shoved off a nearby cliff by the filmmakers to create the illusion of a mass suicide."

White Wilderness is a 1958 pseudo-documentary film produced by Walt Disney Productions as part of its True-Life Adventure series. It is noted for its propagation of the myth of lemming mass suicide.

@jerzone @LucasWerkmeister This can‘t be right, I specifically recall lots of lemmings falling to their death in my childhood. Woth their green hair and blue body, they were so adorable…!
