35 People Who Noticed An Alarming Number Of Individuals Not Knowing Basic Facts Share What They Were

Yes. I am appalled that it's used to justify the right to spread lies.

This is actually driving me crazy, especially when I hear it from folks who I thought were logical and smart. I have to say that pandemic has plummeted my judgement of human, and it wasn't high to begin with.

Toxic plants, fish, food... All natural. And yes. Bad for you.

It's why it's called a signal: it signals your intention to slow down and turn. Do it. Do it before you put on your brakes. Give people that warning.

People abusing antibiotics are the reason why we're having so many antibiotic-resistant bacteria sprout up that can kill us. Don't use antibiotics for a virus. Please.

Nor they can control period flow and turn it on and off

Exactly! And then they want to put the animal down for attacking. 😡

Or to, too, and two.

But what if you, your spouse, and kids run into another family of five who you haven't seen since last Sunday and you have to spend 20 minutes catching up? /s

Related: if my cat escaped and I’m struggling to get him back in the front door, this is not the moment to walk up to us with your massive dog and go “look doggie, it’s a kitty! Let’s say hi to the kitty!” while the kitty is clearly not loving this introduction.

Or train

Reach, Throw, Row, Go

Same goes for every form of transportation, as well as for any kind of doors that connect "in" with "out", may it be a building, a store, a classroom or whatever. It's not just about manners, but logic too .

whaaaaat? it stinks, wash it!

So many people don’t seem to understand grey area or nuance. I see it a lot with politics and opinions. I learned early on growing up with my siblings that sometimes you can both be kinda right or wrong and that just because someone did something hurtful doesn’t necessarily mean it was their intent to hurt, but so many people are so quick to vilify others for deeds or opinions (obviously this isn’t counting objectively wrong stuff like most crime or bigotry)

If you hate men, you're a misandrist, not a feminist. A feminist, by definition, feels that men and women should be treated equally and fairly.

I did! She’s 15 and the best thing that ever happened to me!

Oh no! And I am reading it on the Internet, so confused now 🙃

I had flat-earthers neighbour. He was a pretty good artist so I got him to do a mural of the solar system for my son's bedroom. Did a good job but he left out the Earth. Just couldn't bring himself to do a sphere, or a pancake so totally at odds with everything else.

These people would argue with you that chicken doesn't give you salmonella because it is not salmon

It’s funny how some people choose not to believe science and say theory is only a guess but will swear the bible is true.

TIL….definitely not what you learn from tv shows.

Frankenstein entered the body building competition only to find he had seriously misunderstood the objective.

And neither is Europe. Or the EU.

Do your research and vote for those you think that is needed this time. Don’t vote for teams or because they say the right thing.

And most of all: friction is more important than the soap... So when you wash your hands rub accurately...

As I understand it, no amount of soap will kill bacteria, but soap reduces surface tension of water, effectively making it wetter and better at scooping up bacteria and allowing you to rinse it down the drain. The key is to rub your soap hands together for 30 seconds to sweep most of the bacteria up, then rinse. Properly washing your hands is much better than using antibacterial soap because the bacteria can't evolve to withstand it the same way bacteria evolves to withstand antibiotics and antibacterial soaps and such. Also, antibacterial things and antibiotics do diddly against a virus, but proper handwashing is effective at removing viruses from hands as well.

That's another thing, the pandemic showed us that many really had no idea how to effectively wash their hands🤦

There’s also a difference between antibacterial and antimacrobial. As long as we’re not using triclosan and the like as everyday antibacterial soap, causing bacterial resistance to antibiotics and antibacterial treatments.

And the ones labeled as antibacterial promote dangerous resistant bacteria,so that if you get sick later, the antibiotics will not help you.

Ummmm. What soap,? where? Alos of course WHAT "germs". We need our skin bacteria, as well as ou natural oils.

I've seen ads lately for "anti-microbial shower heads" that 'imply' that because their holes are so small it prevents germs. (Look at them, the openings are plastic which does nothing to prevent germs from collecting.) First, copper pipe and brass fittings (which are copper and zinc) are ALL anti-microbial. Some chromes are too. Running the water for even a couple of minutes to get it hot is more than enough to eliminate any surface germs. It's a solution for a non-existent problem. chrome-fix...059813.jpg

I was in a hygiene class and one chap put some antibacterial soap in a Petri dish. It grew a culture.

Actually soap is not anti bacterial as you put it. The act of washing is actually what cleans. Soap made from fat for example could be very good at growing bacteria. Anti-bacterial and additives were added as science progressed as soap on its own was not sufficient for anything requiring bacteria free situations. Had you pick sanitizer or similar we would have been in agreement.

I didn't know this... ever since the pandemic started, I've been buying exclusively soap that is labeled as "antibacterial" and, if I'm at someone else's house or at a restaurant and they have "regular" soap I stress over it and use sanitizer together with the soap. knowing this now makes me feel much more relaxed.. thank you!

And you don't need hot water either..

Soap doesn't kill germs, it washes them off.

Then what's a baby pony?

Just checking- are there 2 sexes and hundreds of genders?

🤣 Smellophone

Like a zip!

Just because you don't like the evidence does NOT make it false.

fact checking is easy. 1. Is it exciting or outrageous? 2. Does it make you angry or scared? 3. Does it contain exclamation marks? 4. Does it threaten your personal ingroup/identity? 5. Does it refer to, or imply, a massively powerful cabal controlling everything? If the answer to any of the above 5 is "yes", then it is likely fake news.

I will teach YOU how to avoid scams. Just send me your bank account info to get started.

Not really a fact so much as a body of knowledge. Or knowledge of body.

Yes, you should "hot the pot", but not put the kettle back on the boil. The few minutes it cools is perfect to make the tea. So, warm your tea pot with a small amount of water after the kettle boils, swirl the water in the pot, pour out that water, put the tea in the pot and add the rest of the water. Then enjoy!
