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.

Starting from the pictures to the writings, every bit of this is an absolute gem!

.“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.

Anyone but a moron would START their trip in the other direction thereby have to travel 6 to 7000 miles rather than circumvent the earth! But of course you would fall off earth because only a margin on left side of you map! Geez
The scariest part is that I genuinely don’t know if this person was trolling or not. I would like to think so, but I have seen the Deep Stupid.
Wait until this guy finds out about aircraft carriers...oh no they must be a hoax by "the government"
Fellow pandas, please join me in downvoting and reporting this item, as it includes a slur: the r-word. This word is hurtful to people with disabilities and their families, and it doesn't have a place on Bored Panda, a site that seems to aim to be family-friendly and inclusive.
Is this a Flat Earther? "Mind the gap boys! We're running out of the Pacific Ocean! We'll have to take the LONG way around South America since there's no ocean directly between Japan and Hawai'i!"
True ... but Japanese planes flew over Pearl Harbour in 1931, 1932, etc. There was more than one flight to that part of the world. The difference was, of course, that no one dropped bombs on the earlier flights.
Must believe the earth is flat and the edge of the map is the end of the world.
And ahem, flying in the opposite direction, flying west and not east.
flat earther finds a flaw in their own plan.....and doesn't even recognize it
They do know there was a faster way right? Plus people seeing the planes fly over the island is witnesses to history. I'm from Hawaii, we know it was Japan! Duh! Plus it was proven that they used a carrier to have to planes ready since they couldn't play l9ng distance.
That. Is. The. Absolute. Most. Stupid. Thing. I have. Ever. Heard. 😐😑😐
Doesn't know about Aircraft Carriers, apparently. OR the fact that the earth is a ball.
and i meant 1931 was before world war 2. Sorry for the wording error
the planes didn't fly all that way you idiot of a person THEY ACTUALLY FLEW ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN TO BOMB PEARL HARBOR, what your showing is also completely inaccurate the us only joined world war 2 after the harbor got bombed by the Japanese IN 1941 not 1931, that was before world war 2 even began.
Japan had already annexed islands in the middle of the pacific ocean, it didn't take long for them to get to Hawaii
Even if Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbor, they weren't effing innocent in any aspect of WW2 in East Asia. Not everything is about the US, retards.
Oh my. There is so much wrong with this persons brain!!
nobodies going to talk about the fact that they apparently flew off the Earth down off the tip of South America? Where did they go and how did they return? I suspect aliens.
An excavator would be preferred over air planes as the earth is flat from the OP's perspective.
Meeple13 14 hours ago "Love the fact that planes can't fly over land" Or East
Love the drawing of having to go around the world instead of just heading south east to Hawaii.... What a dork.
As said by many peeps the earth is a globe and you can just fly to the right
If they'd done any real research they would have included the points where the U.F.O.'s refueled the planes.
I was always taught Pearl Harbour happened on 7 December 1941, not 1931, or is this also a CIA cover-up ;o)
Then how come, in all the five-hour flights I've ever taken from California to Hawaii, the pilot never pointed out Australia or South America? I feel so ripped off.
Apart from the obvious stupidity over the flight plan...wasn't Pearl Harbour the main reason why the US entered WW2? Which was very much after 1931 :p Also I love how even in the case that they wouldn't just fly the other way around, they treat land like lava XD
Hawaii is very close to Japan. No need for flyovers LOL. It's hard to believe people this stupid can figure out how to procreate.
This deserves to be upvoted to #1!! Is based on a level of stupidity that predates the internet and social media LOL
They are videos of Japanese planes taking off of Japanese Aircraft carriers to attack Pearl Harbor.
In response to Meeple 13, also love the fact that they flew from Japan in the Pacific ocean all the way down past Australia into the Indian ocean and across the South Atlantic past the Cape of Good Hope in Africa into the seriously stormy Southern Ocean and Cape Horn in South America back into the South Pacific and all the way up to the Hawaiian islands. You could just fly across the Pacific from Japan to Hawaii instead of taking the "scenic route" i suspect this person has never seen a world globe before.
Yes, but the scenic route is so much more interesting.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was in 1941.... Aircraft carriers existed since the 1920s.
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.”

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.

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.

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?
