38 Of The Most ‘Uneducated’ Posts Ever Spotted In This Online Group
InterviewNever 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.

Masks Bad
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.

Why Study Science?
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.
Vaccinations vs. Seat Belts - Anti Vaxxers Flawed Logic
That's what you get when you lose a lot of time on school shooter drills. Time that should have been used to educate.
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.”

Anti-Masker Who Thinks Covid-19 Is A Hoax Accidentally Makes A Case For How Quarantines Work
That’s Not How Flu Shots Work
well now we know the Virgin Mary was just the Vaccinated Mary
Perhaps she should have been ringing the devil's doorbell instead of sitting on Satan's joystick.
Load More Replies...This picture was also used with the "news" story of a girl getting pregnant when she swam in a pool.
Load More Replies...So is the person who reposted the article. Unbefuckinglievable.
Load More Replies...Hot beef injection, needs to go straight into a mucus membrane
Load More Replies...Flu/flue is fast becoming a new pet peeve. One is a viral illness, one is part of a chimney.
The chimney is probably the site of the injection.
Load More Replies...While that is hilarious.... that exactly who we need not to be breeding
Unfortunately, too many people in the United States are now using tabloids as factual news.
Or entertainment networks as political gospel. 🙄
Load More Replies..."Why myself or my kids will never get the flue shot"...i can see them getting a "flue" shot then turning into a chimney.
what's going in through every stats student's head rn: CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION
Yea, a little prick did get you pregnant, but I don't think it was a vaccination
Tell me this is photoshop. Tell me this is a joke. Tell me she doesn’t mean it.
When you're so stupid and you share a article from a satire site.
I think it may have been a different injection that git her pregnant…
"Falls pregnant"? That's a weird way to phrase it. Did she fall on an erect penis?
If the woman is aroused, and the man ejaculates outside the vagina, without penetration, she can become pregnant while remaining a "virgin." Flowing vaginal fluids provide the path to the ovaries. Strange how this possibility is never addressed in cases like this.
girl lied to her parents and her parents were stupid enough to believe it
I bet 100 bucks that the girl got hooked up with a boy found out she was pregnant and just told her mom that it was the vaccine and her mom believed it.
That daughter, trying to keep a straight face, she's like "I'm too far into this now"
Of course it's parody, but given the rampant stupidity in this world, it makes stories like this plausible.
Load More Replies...She did get vaccinated by different means, administered by a guy she likes - my best guess.
When you're so deluded that it seems more reasonable to believe that a vaccine caused your daughter's pregnancy than that your daughter would have sex.
Imagine lying to your parents about being sexually actively when you end up pregnant, and being so invested in the lie you end up in a bored panda article
We must stand fast against those chimney flues! No soot will here! *flue shot" smh
Okay so was her shot made of sperm and injected into her coochie?
You'd think with all the crap you spew, you'd be less full of crap. And yet, here you are, still very full of crap.
Load More Replies...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
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.

Somebody needs to take more ban time.

On the surface, during the "daytime", which lasts about 13 days, temps range from -260F to 280F. Again, go out in the "morning" when it's milder, wearing properly insulated clothes, and you'll be fine, like the other 12 dudes who have been there.

The Virus Is Fake
This is going to sound terrible but sometimes I wish that the virus was far more deadly amongst the ignorant and un-vaccinated. Basic evolution. The bubonic plague first came about in Europe in the mid 1300s. During its long deadly time it killed between 1/3 and 1/2 of the entire population, including the nobles. During this time the idea of "peasants" completely ended, and humanity blossomed. Art, music, science and the more true equality of humanity happened. No plague, no Mozart. No plague no Leonardo da Vinci.

Well, "Red 40" (C18H14N2Na2O8S2), also knowns as Allura Red, indeed is under suspicion to impair activity and attention in children in high doses, and is known to trigger allergies in asthma and neurodermitis patients. For this reason, is currently illegal in some european countries, while in others warning labels are mandatory (as for most azo dyes). So while certainly being exaggerated, this post does really fit into the nonsense category, as there actually is a scientific base behind this (Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allura_Red_AC).
