As a kid, I read about vacuum decay in a book and told the other kids at school about it. A year? later one kid asked me how anyone knows about it. Mortified that I didn’t think of that, I told him that I made it up. (“I knew it >:D!”) It is the one time I remember outside games of telling someone something I disbelieve so that they’ll believe it, and ever since remembering the scene as an adult I’m failing to track down that kid :(.
