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.

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.

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.”

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

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.”

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.

The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas :)

It's a big ball of nuclear explosions. Rather different than a mere fire.
I'm going out on a limb here and saying this post isn't actually DRASTICALLY stupid. This is because A: She's right in that if the sun were actually made of fire, it couldn't burn because there is no oxygen in space. Now as to WHY she might not know the sun is plasma: A lot of children's books do in fact portray the sun as being a fireball. Even some animated cartoons refer to the sun as a great fire. So right off the bat we have children who can easily think the sun is fire. Then ADULT media. Adult movies and books rarely refer to the sun as made of plasma, if at all. So, while she should have learned in science class what plasma is and how it makes up the sun, she has grown up in a world of media that says "Fire." It doesn't matter how old you are, if something has been ingrained in your mind since toddlerhood, it's there to stay.
Thank you! I was like, "but fire does need oxygen...therefore the Sun can't be burning...what's it doing?" It's a plasma, LOL. When I was in school, they taught us there were only three states of matter: solid, liquid, gaseous. [Alexa, tell me about "plasma."]

The sun isn't on fire, it's constantly collapsing in on itself under its own gravity, which fuels nuclear fusion, which exerts an explosive expansion. The two forces cancel each other out so long as the sun (or any star) still has fuel.
Maybe your brain isn't getting enough oxygen, that's why it's malfunctioning
More on this: https://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question36.html
since i was little i had this question in the back of my mind. now that i remembered this again for like the 28th time in my life, i dare to genuinely ask: what makes the sun keep burning?
The sub is a miasma, of incandescent plasma The sun's not simply made out of gas, no no no
.....so youre saying its not normal fire? or that theres no oxygen? cuz thats actually correct.
Well.... I give you credit for having enough knowledge to know fire requires oxygen. You have the starting base for some explanation.
the sun actually fuses hydrogen atoms to make helium as a method of producing heat and light
The Sun contains BILLIONS of times more oxygen than is found on Earth. That's not what's burning though. It's HYDROGEN, which is the most flammable substance in the universe. I learned to create it by placing an electrode in water. The hydrogen and oxygen separate and with a tiny spark you get a big fireball. Man things you can do in your own backyard.
Better yet go test that theory yourself. Go visit the sun then when you get back you can go on live tv and give us all the tea.
When you take 2 elements, be it hydrogen or later oxygen, and crush them under unbelievable amounts of pressure so that they have no choice but to fuse together you create nuclear fusion. And the sun isn't fire. It's plasma, gases, electromagnetism and elements.
Hey, Gratulation, that's the question I asked my mom when I was six. But at least my childish conclusion was that there MUST BE OXYGEN IN SPACE instead of "the sun can't be for real" -.- (And six year old me so thought to have found out about being able to breath up there, darn!)
People stuck in the 1800s or any era before nuclear physics was invented. They shouldn't be driving cars and getting anesthesia or antibiotics.
Alright not a scientist but first sun is white second it doesn't burn you can light something up I a vaccum. You know why ? NO AIR
This ones brain is clearly lacking the oxygen required for the thought process. Lucky breathing is subconsciously automatic otherwise this genius would suffocate.

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.
