    TL:DR: Everything? Like, literally everything.

    If it’s about driving? They’re looking everywhere except the road in front of them

    Computers? It’s cringe, all I will say

    Flying? Not even close

    Brushing teeth? Put some tooth paste FFS!

    Sex, perhaps? As bad as porn videos are at showing realistic sex situations, movies and especially TV shows are typically way worse with all the requirements to not accidentally show a nipple, omg!

    Martial arts and fighting? The worst offenders. After twenty punches to the chest that will have broken half of the ribs, the protagonists now suddenly finds the strength in thinking about keeping his little girl safe and now he beats up 20 guys with those broken ribs

    Being punched unconscious or getting some chloroform and they wake up the next day? Lolololollll. Humans are notoriously hard to keep them “out” without killing them, it’s why anesthetists are paid so well, it’s a very complicated job. When you’re out from an impact to the head, you need medical attention, you likely have a minor amount of brain damage. If you’re out for more than ten seconds, it’s brain damage for sure. If you’re out for over a minute, you’re likely not waking up with full abilities, you’re likely going to be a vegetable at best

    Okay, doctors then? Saving a patient’s life with the buzzer? Yeah no. When the heart stops, that defibrillator won’t make it “go” again, the defib actually stops it in case of heart rithm problems. Also, CPR outside a hospital will result in death for about 90% of the cases, give or take, and Har % goes up by another 2 after 3 weeks later. The tiny % that does survive likely will have issues ranging from benign to being a benign vegetable.

      + All of physics. Especially anything involving characters falling, lasers, explosions, firearms, and any physics in space (sound, motion, temperature, black holes).

      Not that it’s known physics, but time travel falls into this category too. Not the time travel itself, that’s just suspension of disbelief, but having time travel mechanics be internally consistent. It’s difficult to do well.
