38 Of The Most ‘Uneducated’ Posts Ever Spotted In This Online Group
Interview
Never has there been so much pseudoscience dangerously spreading around. Cow urine and bleach have been falsely named as COVID-19 cures. Other common fake statements include that the pandemic was leaked as a bioweapon, a byproduct of 5G wireless technology, and a political hoax. The explosion of this kind of false information surged just like coronavirus cases, and the World Health Organization called it the “infodemic.”
Luckily, many people, not just scientists, medics, and policymakers, have stood up for quality information. One such example is the subreddit “Facebook Science,” which has very little if anything to do with science. “Facebook has countless science-based pages,” states the page’s description and adds: “But this isn't about those, it's about the science-denying pseudo-intellectuals who think they know better than centuries of scientific understanding and aren't afraid to leave comments arguing even the most simple of concepts.”
In order to show the absurdity of it, more than 43k members of the community are sharing and calling out the most ridiculous posts, arguments, pics and comments they have spotted online. Below are some of the worst examples they shared.

I feel like my hearing seems to go when I have a mask on...either that or I lip read way more than I realise and my hearing has stayed the same :P
To find out more about the Facebook Science subreddit and the community behind it, Bored Panda spoke with its only moderator named Yunners. “The genesis of the sub came from a YouTuber called Aron Ra that featured a video on the Ken Hamm Facebook page and the comments found therein. Hamm is a Christian fundamentalist that tries to teach children that the world is only 6000 years old and takes the Bible literally. Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, everything,” the moderator explained.

Starting from the pictures to the writings, every bit of this is an absolute gem!
Lol Forever At “The Devil’s Doorbell
.“Obviously a lot of that is at odds with scientific consensus, so as you can imagine, his Facebook page is full of the most gibberish claptrap you're likely to find anywhere, and his followers just lap it up.” This is what gave Yunners the idea to start a subreddit that collects similar posts across all social media to highlight the sheer amount of misinformation out there.
The moderator added that “Initially it was to laugh at idiotic ideas that people have about the shape of the Earth, weird home remedies and other nonsense pseudoscience beliefs that people buy into.”
Thanks For Trying
The one study that said it was about the link between autism and the digestive system. It also says in the paper further studies are needed to prove the link between vaccines and autism which never happened. The guy who wrote it wanted to sell his vaccine which was shady.

Bush Did 9/11
When asked why, in their view, so many people believe in false pseudoscientific things, Yunners believes that it can be any number of things. Like, “problems with the education systems, issues with critical thinking ability, fundamentalist religious upbringing, creationism being sold as a 'science' in Bible Belt America doesn't help things either, etc.”

When the pandemic started, The World Health Organization announced another endemic—the infodemic, which is basically when too much information, including false or misleading information, is propagated in digital and physical environments during a disease outbreak.
We asked Yunners if they have seen any of this shared on the subreddit. “Absolutely! When the pandemic hit, a lot of the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists came out of the woodwork to spew any and all beliefs they had,” the mod said and added that “Unfortunately a lot of these people had prominent positions in the media and politics, so they already had a platform and followers to lap it up.”
This Has To Be The Dumbest Question Ever Asked By An Antivaxxer
That’s Not…oh My God
Ah Yes, The Saltshaker Version Of Jesus
According to Yunners, spreading pseudoscientific statements is essentially harmful. “All it takes is the wrong person to risk their life based on this newfound information, next thing you have flat Earthers killing themselves in homemade rockets to try and disprove the globe, anti-vaxers refusing covid vaccines and dying from it as a result, then you have the new-age healers that drink their own urine or try to survive on air alone, causing physical damage to themselves.”

Veganism Is Satanic
Im not a Vegan, dont like to be a Vegan and dont want to be harrassed by Vegans but your talking out of uranus, its just food, eat it if you like it dont eat it if you dont like it, simples. If tomorrow McDonalds made the 666 burger im betting as long as it was cheap enough most people would still buy it.
Seitan is the traditional name for, well, gluten. The morning star is Venus. If anything, Trump could be the one referenced in Isaiah 14.
And it’s pretty obvious they couldn’t fit Tofu in their b******t

Ok this one made me laugh. I actually do call Seitan “Satan’s Meat Alternative” because I can’t eat gluten.
And angry in-your-face assholes like the creator of this image will tell you they hate vegans because "tHeY'rE sO pReAcHy".
Wait until they hear about the excellent Hail Seitan restaurant in Brighton
Umm... Not one society in history? A lot of India has been vegetarian for thousands of years, and some African tribes have always been vegetarian. Not to mention that in Europe until a few hundred years ago, only the rich could afford meat! In other words, more people in history have been vegetarian than not.
Mmmmm gimme some more of those satanic peas. And pass the devil's cabbage while you're at it. All hail Satan, he's a hell of a gardener.
Wow....veganism??? Am gonna open a vegan restaurant and name it Mephisto Veggangsta

i know morning star is another name for our great lord and master lucifer, but everytime i hear or read morning star i picture the weapon.
It's funny how Lucifer was moniker for Jesus until they had to trashtalk a Roman god with same name.
Funny how Lucifer meant Jesus until they had to disgrace a Roman god with same name.
What about Tofurkey? Daiya? Lightlife? Silk? Also what is morning star farms?
Yeah, I don't like asparagus much myself. Does eating Lima beans make me a "Satanist"?
dam ig eating vegetables is satanic now guys so we all must whorship the devil kumbaiya
Yeah...God didn't give animals as food until AFTER the Flood - it's legit 1/4 of the way through Genesis! If anything meat is the corruption.
I'm not touching those burgers, but that Wellington type thing looks good! Oh, and Venus is also called the Morning Star, does that make it evil? Or is that where Satan lives?
I had someone spewing this garbage at me in real life after I said I had eaten and enjoyed an "impossible burger".
As a vegetarian no as a logical mentally sane human being or homosapian , plant food lacks many mineral and proteins etc that a meat diet provides . Therefore have a diverse diet guys eat everything for a healthy body and mind
Wring, the only essential thing lacking in a vegan diet is vitamin B12, which farm animals are also supplemented with

They didn't have it before because not many people would be able to collect enough food to sustain that diet
The creator of the subreddit added that “There's definitely a problem with responsibility (or lack thereof) when it comes to sharing pseudoscience as fact.”
“I think education is part of the problem,” the moderator said. “Another issue is that once you start down the rabbit hole, you start to distrust any official source of information because of the Illuminati, Freemasons, Reptilians or whatever the flavor of the week is for the conspiracy nuts,” they concluded.

I'm walking away from reading this with a few things. 1) People aren't afraid to advertise their own stupidity apparently. 2) I suddenly feel a whole lot smarter. Neat. 3) If ever I am really broke, apparently there is a seemingly endless supply of stupid people you can fleece. 4) This fact also explains our elections.

Better yet, wish for all stupid people to be rendered totally barren. And any offspring they have produced already. That will do wonders for overpopulation.

Hey BoredPanda team! You could make an entire other listicle with the amount of idiotic and ignorant comments posted by the antivaxxers in this thread. I think my IQ dropped 50 points reading some of these.
It just feels that way. It'll wear off. Fortunately, stupidity isn't contagious. ;-)

Anyone look at these posts and think to themselves "how are we still alive at this point"
We've been given a pandemic that is essentially on beginner settings. We are a long ways off from being ready for zombies.
I kinda wish all the dumb people could just catch covid (and not spread it to vaxxed or vulnerable people) and be thinned out a bit.
Some of these were clever and well written, others were real life examples of nonsense.
Good grief, these shocked me. But is it just me that, rather than laughing, I just feel sad for these people?
I cannot help but think that QAnon and others are the world's most ambitious trolls.........
Let's change "ambitious" to idiotic and then I'll agree. There's nothing ambitious about QAnon followers. I'm surprised they remember to breathe when the wake up.
