Being cold makes you sick
HR departments are there to serve the employees. They’re there to help the company screw you without enabling any lawsuits.
That you can follow that God damn train on San Andreas.
‘Carbs/fat make you fat’
Vaccines cause kids to develop autism. No, Karen, they don’t. Vaccines cause your kid to develop a *life* 😐
That it’s morally OK to kill animals for pleasure
“More sex makes vaginas looser” – No, it doesn’t.
Daddy Longlegs are the most venomous spider, but their fangs are to small to puncture human skin or they have such a small amount that it doesn’t affect us.
That super wealthy people worked for it.
Sure, SOME might have. Most had it given to them, or at the very least had a big advantage (a “small million dollar loan”)
All the antivax lies being spread as truth!
That there is a god. It was written by someone who wasn’t even there. Religion is nothing but a fiction.
Sugar in a petrol tank will disolve and ruin the motor. Sugar does not dissolve in petrol and filters will prevent it from entering the motor, worst it would do is block the fuel pick up filter
That science is just a dumb shit that governments use to control their people
That blood is blue in your veins, your heart is completely on the left side of your chest and fanning yourself when you’re hot makes you more hot.
I was shown the spinning upside down glass of water trick by a boomer when i was little to explain gravity… and immediately didn’t believe him so he called me a runt. Now as an adult I learned this is widely believed by many older adults… wtf?
The government has banned prayer in schools.
Wrong, public schools won’t lead prayer because of the whole people believe different things thing. But individuals or private groups can pray all they want in school.
ostriches dont stick their heads in the sand

“The American Civil War wasn’t about slavery.”
This is a common belief in rural America, especially the rural South. It’s extremely easy to prove that it’s false though.
The government is here to help us.
That kpop is a good genre, when we all know it’s not
Being trans is not a fetish, even though you desperately want it to be.
That God demands worship and punishes those who won’t.
Makes him sound like a bit of a self-centered dick IMHO.
Kinda like those who believe this.
Why is this nsf
That Hitler was German. The guy was from Austria.
As a person who keeps fish: that “betta fish live in puddles in the wild so they don’t need a big tank” and these guys are being kept in cruel conditions like getting stuck in a pencil holder on your office desk. Research pets before buying or leave them alone
That Marsha P Johnson started the Stonewall Riots… it was Stormé deLarverie and Marsha P Johnson (a drag queen who some are now calling a trans woman) wasn’t even there
Uncontrolled immigration and related circumstances under which mixing of two very different cultures is being forced upon in the name of “multi-culturalism”. It usually needs decades before cultures can mix and find a middle ground. At the moment what is happening in many countries globally is nothing short of lack of long term strategy/vision from the existing politicians and this will only make things worst (and dangerous) for both the natives as well as the immigrants. It’s a lose-lose.
Trickle down economics!
It’s believed that you should try to swim to shore if you fall off a ship. Actually, If you ever fall off a ship/ferry at sea and were lucky enough to be spotted – don’t try to swim your way to safety. The more you try to swim, the lesser the chances of survival. Just try to keep afloat and conserve energy (and body heat) while the rescue team does what they’re supposed to. Unless you are in hypothermic waters, the best bet always is to stay afloat without trying to swim to ‘somewhere’. This information about falling overboard, hypothermia and conditions, survival at sea etc are based on my own experience of many years sailing on merchant ships (example – [this](https://youtu.be/y_TOSEd3XMo)
