    People only started getting cancer since we started eating grain. Because of bread, so many people have cancer now.

    Being forced to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you is democracy.

    Im not sure why the blue conservatives are so worried about a one party government. Just work within the republican primary system and earn your incremental change!

    What’s wrong, you dont trust how republicans run their primaries?

    5G causes Corona virus is a favourite. Most of the biblical claims but those are too obvious. Excluding religion and conspiracy theories, expensive speaker cables produce sound quality that is superior to cheap cables. Turning a phone off in an aircraft improves safety. My daughter’s teacher confidently informed me that bicycles are more dangerous than cars. That was probably the most depressing and stupid.

    I was experiencing auditory hallucinations when trying to sleep, tried to tell my mom about it. She told me the house was haunted and I was hearing the ghosts.

    My father built that house when I was a baby.

    Foreigners are to blame for everything and kicking them out of your country is key to solving everything.

      I thought it was 3 times. Isnt that a conspiracy MAGA believed? That trump was in charge when Biden was president?

    My sister (who’s not very bright) told me that different wines don’t really have different flavors but that they all taste the same, and that people who claim otherwise are just snobs trying to sound interesting.

    This is the same person who told me that sangría is non alcoholic due to the amount of fruit that’s in it.

    She should look into becoming a sommelier, she’s letting all that hidden knowledge go to waste.

    Essentially that (they just assumed was a fact) all other countries worldwide follow the American calendar, years, language, everything.

    Specifically they were arguing China was in the same exact “year” as the United States.


    Or maybe people I watched “speak in tongues.” Complete morons.

      As it happens, China does have dual dating since 1912 (with some fluctuation), using the Gregorian calendar for most things except traditional holidays, which are celebrated according to the Chinese calendar.

      The Gregorian calendar is generally one of the safer things to bet on, in this day. What could be that person’s thinking with the languages, however, that I don’t know.

    My cousin told me that wind power turbines are actually amusement park attractions: The blades are hollow and you can take a ride inside while they rotate.
    Later, I calculated that you’d experience 15g at the tip of a typical one.

    The universe was created and is controlled by a super being and when we die this being allows us to a magical place. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, but you asked the question.

    I don’t know about “ever”, but someone recently told me bald eagles are the fastest flyers on Earth; even faster than any military jet.
