Kinda related, I studied in Spain for a semester. Was taking with my fellow American roommate about the debate of if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable. Our host mom's daughter's boyfriend (Cuban, fwiw) overheard, and we told him about the "controversy" in the US but all 3 of us agreed it was a fruit. Host mom overheard us and asked what we were talking about, and the Cuban told her. "Well yeah, of course it's a vegetable"

I couldn't understand every word but when I could tell they were arguing about some vegetables having seeds or something like that I knew I spread something.

When I started studying computer science, my father asked me what I learned, so I told him about Turing machines, trying to explain the whole thing, that they are a mathematical model for computers etc. But he didn't believe me and insisted that a Turing machine was an actual piece of hardware built by Alan Turing. As much as I tried making it clear that Turing machines are a theoretical model, he was trying to explain to me that they are not. A week later when I met him he spent some time "fathersplaining" the life of Alan Turing to me. He had probably tried to read about Turing machines online (this was before Wikipedia), didn't understand a single word, and so read Turing's biography instead.
