Starts to make sense how some conspiracies come out when you get examples like this of people being blatantly ignorant of evidence right in front of their noses

    In my experience it has less to do with stuff like this where people are just not looking close enough or are mistaken and more to do with the idea of them being wrong being impossible. Conspiracies that I interact with don’t even discuss evidence. Because they can’t be wrong and there’s no way to falsify their worldview.

    This, in the post truth era, evidence is only useful to educated people that are willing. For most victims, we have to de program them first.

    Every single discussion I have about climate ends with "yes, that's one side of the argument, but who really knows what's the truth".

    Motherfucker, you said something that's false. I showed you you were wrong by a factor of several million. Where ever the exact truth lies, it's way on the other side of the fucking moon from your standpoint.

    *every known letter of the alphabet.

    The implication that there are undiscovered letters creates excitement for the reader. Who knows what is out there!

    Those same people do math incorrectly and shout at everyone else to do it their way.

    Just look at those viral math problems. I recently saw one that was something like (1+2*3)*(1*0) and most comments were arguing if it was 7 or 9

    It has become impossible to tell if these people are trolling, stupid, or both.

    W is in brown

    E is in over

    V is in over

    Z is in lazy

    K is in quick

    And I can't endorse any viewpoint that tells me to accept something on faith. You might not have time to do your own research on every single issue but you are certainly welcome too

    How else would you spell it? I've only ever seen it as English. Inglish maybe?

    Inglesh. Ingliti given the ti sound in words ending in tion. Englich if we use the soft ch option. I was functionally illiterate until my teens. By the end of highschool I had a college level reading comprehension but less than a third grade spelling ability. Trying to read something I wrote would have you convinced I wasn't a native English speaker until I was in my late 20s. The less you know about English the more ways you can find to spell any word it offers up.

    They're missing the V because they pronounce over as "o'er"

    the availability of text on the internet can make people believe they're an expert on topics that take a lifetime to understand

    if people should do their own research, we may as well shutter the national labs and universities

    I especially like when the person who says "theres[sic] no letter e" is wrong 3 times and makes a spelling mistake. 😂

    Absolute disasterclass.

    This is actually a perfect representation of the shallow "research" conspiracy theorists do.

    Quoting only the first few lines of an abstract outlining a problem/open question then ignoring the rest of the paper where they address the issue in the abstract.

    This way, they can claim that the paper says the exact opposite of what it does.
