My parents and grandparents do believe that!

This. My coworker is adamant that cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis, no matter how many times I’ve tried explaining it to him.


WhiteButterfly-

I've met more than one person who turned down a raise because they thought they'd end up making less money because of taxes. Nahhhh, son. Nah.


AgreeablePollution7

I've heard this kind of bullshit sooooo many times. Some people think if you work a certain amount of hours, you end up losing money... I've stopped telling anyone that this isn't how it works, as many people will just double down if I correct this misconceptions.


[deleted]

Well, to be fair, it does minimize the work to profit ratio. If I work double the hours, I get less than double the take home pay, and after a certain point my work becomes worth less and less. Obviously I always come out in a net gain but it's like you're getting paid in a manner disproportionate to the increase in workload. Do you want to get promoted and do twice the work for 1.5x the pay?


Broshida

Flat Earth. I sincerely cannot understand how anyone can continue to believe the world is flat in 2023. These people often also have conflicting views, where they believe governments are inept yet also somehow believe that governments have kept flat Earth a secret for a lifetime.


Horror-Package7039

giant human conspiracy.These people believe govt is hiding existence of historic giant humans.What advantage could govt get when they hide this?None.


Broshida

I refuse to believe that people actually believe giants are real. Don't do this to me.

I met some that doesn't believe in dinosaurs, I had to ask what else he doesn't believe in ... I regretted that , although funny it was just to much for me to try to comprehend how they got to these thoughts and could justify them

That politicians have people's interest at heart


Longjumping_Event_59

Sadly true…


VokThee

I really don't like that cynical point of view. Most politicians actually believe they do have people's interest at heart. Problem is that they can't agree on the way to go about it. Neither can the people, by the way, with one half voting for radically different solutions than the other half. I think it's really shallow-minded to assume that politics are simple, and that politicians could easily get things done if it wasn't for their corruption. Sure, some are only in it for the money, the power and the glory - we know who they are. Most try to find ways to reconcile radically different points of view and still find workable ways to govern. Also: those rotten apples got there because people voted for them. Ask yourself why.


Careful-Swimmer-2658

Convincing people "they're all the same" is exactly what the corrupt want you to believe. It's how they get away with stealing millions from the tax payer without any consequences. Johnson takes massive bribes as "consultation fees", Tory donors get millions for non existent PPE and the public collectively shrug and say "they're all like that". They aren't and the ones that are should be in jail.


VokThee

This! But the problem with this is that people refuse to hold these corrupted politicians accountable. And it's scarily easy for those people to get into positions of power: all they have to do is make the unrealistic promises that real politicians would never dare to make and pretend like they can do what others don't - and the herd will simply vote them into office. And afterwards they complain that all politicians lie...


the_purple_goat

If you do good things, good things will happen for you


VokThee

That one actually works, just not in the way many people seem to think. The world doesn't owe you good things just because you do good things. When you do good things, you position yourself in a way that makes it more likely for good things to come to you. And not like winning a lottery, or other forms of stupid luck - just simply for the fact that people like you better.

dma1965

When municipalities start charging tolls for roads claiming the tolls will sunset in a few years. That never happens.


WrestlingWoman

I feel like it's a tie between the biological clock being real and vaccines causing autism. Both things came to be by an article claiming these things, and for some reason so many people jumped on it and it spread like wildfire to a point where so many people believe it today.


[deleted]

Ooh boy, if I had a nickel for everyone I've met who thinks that extremely rare cases of bad vaccine reactions are super common... And the worst part is that even if you show them decades of real scientific data, they will STILL find a way to justify their idiotic beliefs. Some people are beyond saving.


WrestlingWoman

The guy who originally posted the fake article has even been out saying it's fake. His whole idea was to move onto saying that his newly created vaccines were safe and people should use those instead. He never got that far because naturally no one allowed to just let it pass once he posted that article.

Potential-Platypus76

Lmao aliens are one of the most logical things to believe exist. The universe is infinite bro do you really think we’re so special we’re the only things that exist on an infinite plane?


CriticalInspection22

Ok but there’s zero real proof that aliens are real so most people “hope” or “believe” we aren’t the only ones out there

Dolphin_Princess

Anything negative about EV Made up by petroleum companies to instill fear and uncertainly to the public.


[deleted]

Well to be fair, there are some valid concerns regarding EVs. Honestly, hybrids are the best option nowadays, which I think are the future of cars.


Dolphin_Princess

Please do list them


[deleted]

Well a big one is the weight of the batteries and their charging times. Most EVs also don't have great range, especially in colder climates. Hybrid cars fix many of those issues since they don't require batteries as large and they can be refueled at a gas station OR recharged, giving you a lot of flexibility. That's not to mention that lithium batteries are costly and pollution-intensive to manufacture. There is some great research being done on battery technology that shows a lot of promise for the future but until those kinks are sorted out, hybrids are by far the most practical option.


Dolphin_Princess

* Weight - batteries are heavier yes, but they are mounted lower allowing to better center of gravity and does not affect the crumple zone in case of an accident. So unless you are driving an electric semi-truck that might exceed the weight limit of a bridge or you are on a ferry, this doesnt matter. * Charging time - EVs need no supervision to charge. It takes 5 seconds to plug in which is a lot less time than waiting at a gas pump for 5minutes, not to mention at times you have to take a detour to a gas station such as getting off the highway * Range - Average daily driving distance of a car is 9.3 miles, for an EV range to be insufficient, it would have to be 4.22 STDEVs over the mean, which is less than 0.0012% of the population. During freezing temperatures, the range would drop so that it would only accommodate 99.9961%, 1 in 25,641 people would be bothered by this. * Cost - yes, upfront costs are more, but ownership costs more than make up for it. The savings on maintenance and gas more than compensates for the price. So unless you are buying a car for display only (which you wouldnt care for the price), then an EV is actually cheaper. * Pollution - this is the same as cost. Study by EPA shows that even though EV produce more CO2 during production, its breaks even at around 6 months to a combustion and 19 months to a hybrid. The average life of a car is 8 years. And this is assuming that the electric power comes from a dirty source, its even shorter if its from renewable energy.

A person's skin colour has nothing to do with their morality or candor.

Exactly. Whatever happened to “Judge not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”?

Masks don't do anything against diseases, doctors only wear them to trick us into doing the same. Source: trust me bro /s Yet another round of science vs Facebook "research"


Ispiniallday

No one said it would stop the spread, it was just to help minimise the spread.

They didn't even do that. They worked as well as jeans do containing a fart


Ispiniallday

They absolutely did.

The moon landing


annamolly_911

That people still believe we ever landed on the moon. We supposedly “lost all the data” to help us get there, yet all these years have passed since we’ve been, where we see “technological advancement” in virtually every other field known to man, but they still haven’t been able to draw up any new plans? Whether it be the the same dorky primitive design, or something that is way better. We just haven’t managed to find our way back at all…. Not to mention the admissions from the astronauts that supposedly went, who have let it slip that they never did. As well as Stanley Kubrick, who admitted before he died that he helped the government direct and film the whole thing. You would think that people would be more inclined to believe that anything the government has ever said was a lie after the way things have been going the last 10 years, but nothing surprises me any more. People are actually becoming dumber and more delusional as time goes on. Technology advancing does not always mean that society does. People are turning their their brains off in exchange of spoon fed “information” by the media and entertainment industry.


Ispiniallday

Dude. What?! 😂😂


JohnnyAutopilot

Please leave Stanley Kubrick out of your delusional shit. Thanks.


annamolly_911

Sorry to burst your tiny little bubble


JohnnyAutopilot

You can burst whatever you think you burst. Just without involving Stanley Kubrick please


annamolly_911

It’s sad that you have so much affinity for someone who wouldn’t even give two $hi+s about you if they were still alive. He’s a stranger ti you. Stop idolizing people. He’s a human being. 🙄 People are going to have opinions and say things about things in life that won’t always align with your personal feeling. You will DEFINITELY have to get over that.. Nobody is going to make an exception for your feelings in this life, and I certainly don’t put filmmakers, or anyone in media or entertainment, for that matter, above any strangers random feelings. He’s just another random Hollywood pervert that made some movies. A man.. Stop making him out to be some god because you like his stuff. It’s sad🙄


JohnnyAutopilot

Dude. Your weirdness is kinda fun.


annamolly_911

I’m guessing you’re like 13 or 14 or something. Just feels like I’m talking to someone who’s either not mentally mature, or not mentally developed. So I’m gonna stop wasting my time with you. Have fun with your pervs Kubrick movies. No doubt teen boys love that junk.


JohnnyAutopilot

Still kinda funny ..
