That the COVID vaccine was the cause of my stepfather’s cancer.
I told them the news and the first thing they asked was « did he get the vaccine ? » and proceeded to explain to me how it caused cancer. So thoughtful to do that instead of listening.
That inflation is good for the economy
That satellites aren’t real and when we see them in the sky, they are all holograms projected onto the atmosphere by the government.
I called this person an idiot and explained that a projector that big and powerful would be more difficult from an engineering standpoint than simply putting a real satellite into orbit with rockets
Not someone but my friend was out of school camping and we (my other friend and I) came up with an elaborate story about how she was hit by a car and we weren’t meant to say anything because it was so minor she was honestly more embarrassed than injured.
Some people still believe it
Not sure if outrageous so much, but a fully grown man seriously berated me for allowing my children to eat water melon with seeds. Cos didn’t I know that the if they ate the seeds they would have actual melons growing inside them. I just….couldn’t
That mermaids absolutely must be white… it’s just science.
Start by loving yourself a bit. You are smart, able to keep a job, not a serial killer(???), you will find someone.
Lower your expectations. I know a woman with low self esteem, owns her home, has had the same job for 2 years, and met a man online, a recovering meth head, who lied to her and stole from her,is back on meth, and after a year she is still “in love with him”. There is someone for everyone.
That the Rothschild family controls the world along with other conspiracy theories that are antisemitic in origin
That eating an egg prevents the flu… to this day I am still being told to eat eggs every day…
That starving people are the healthiest, that we don’t actually need food, that hunger is just our mind tricking us instead of an actual need, and that we all should fast as much as we could. That somehow fasting cures cancer and rids our body of all the dead cells and other stuff we don’t need (because fuck the lymphatic system I guess).
All because he read it in a book about fasting made by some other asshole.
Trump is the saviour
That Lincoln was black, and his wife was Hispanic.
Keep in mind, this was in Alabama, and I was going to college for History, actively studying Civil War Era America.
That there’s a plump jolly old man from the North Pole that dresses in red and delivers presents all over the world in a sleigh guided by reindeer.
That gun restriction leads to less homicide
P=np
That the fourth doze was the one that would actually protect me from Covid, not like the third, second or first ones.
Someone tried to convince me that I’ll find someone.
I’m a short, ugly, and repulsive science dork with a low SMV.
People like me get mogged big time by fraternity chads.
As someone who has an engineering major, the worst one is **perpetual motion**.
