Before you really started into this hobby what were some embarrassing things you believed that'd make you today slap your casual self
Pre hobby beliefs

One for me I was pretty ride or die pre Super Goku could just IT into STTGL and nuke the control room 
to be fair this was before TTGL was even a member and revamped the profiles but I was dead sure GER negged the TTGL
in general I thought GER could beat anything that wasn't "omnipotent" and when I discovered the wiki I didn't understand why they said IG Thanos beat him
even after I joined I had some dumb takes. I once thought Hytherion from Transformers would lose to fucking Haruhi

I can't remember why but I had some weird convoluted thought process in my head that made me think Allen Walker from Dgrayman was like in the upper echelon of all anime characters
before I knew what vs forums even were I remember arguing with some dude about how Bionicle characters could beat Saint Seiya ones
understandably, the concept of the no limits fallacy changed my life

Goku >>>>> Everyone else, ez
Elder Scrolls being a solar system at best (funnily enough, when a friend pointed out counter evidence to this I became one of the biggest debunkers of this misconception).
Gurren Lagann being universal at best (despite it being my favourite anime).
Split durability being a thing.
A character having innate power being somehow greater than people with technology controling an equal amount of power (like Goku would beat Palpatine because he had innate power to destroy a planet while Palpatine needing the Death Star).
There were also a few months when I thought dimensional tiering was a thing.

we should all count falling for the Genis deception as a freebee

I got into the hobby so early honestly I got redpilled quick. I learned straight on Dragon Ball wasn't shit to Galactus or Saint Seiya or Silver Age/Pre Crisis Superman or Lord of Nightmares or Madoka and just accepted that. I didn't grasp omnipotence properly so had OCs be super omnipotent or some shit.
I found a document from 2014 where I listed Nappa and Vegeta at like mountain level for some ungodly reason
I don't know when to classify pre-hobby, I guess before 2014 when I started hate watching Death Battle

Before I got into the hobby, hell, before I started even lurking on the OBD back in 2010, I legit didn't even know Belch was an anime, and when I saw thumbnails for vids of it on YouTube, I unironically thought those were just cartoon advertisements for bleach. 
Also, D. Gray-Man was my first ever anime that I fully watched from start to finish, so I legit believed that Akuma were invincible so long as you didn't have Innocence or Dark Matter to destroy them.

Much as I love the series, if I was put in a room with my old self and he said the latter statement, I would smack the taste out of his mouth for that kind of unintentional wank of epic proportions.Fucking Dgrayman deception
For the Bleach thing though? I'd legit just laugh my ass off at it.
i thought DBZ was made in America lol
To be fair, I thought the same of YuGiOh and Pokemon way back when.
i remember when i was lurking used to think Z-Era DB was the strongest shit it was a mindfuck to realize many series clapped there shit in
I couldn't believe how many single characters could fold the verse my mind was blown
