While my high school students have never heard of the Protestant Reformation, purgatory, the Spanish Armada, or the obscure Bruce Springsteen song "Born to Run," they do all know that you can fix a toilet with ramen noodles and super glue—even though this method DOES NOT WORK, for obvious reasons: structural instability, water expansion and mold, leakage of wastewater, etcetera, etcetera . . . but they saw it on TikTok, and they believe in it, just as much as the Medieval Catholics believed in the concept of Purgatory.
