There's No "I" In Happiness
The sentiment behind this is also BS. You're not going to be happy if you never put yourself first, if you are always putting others first. Not prioritizing yourself gets you burnt out, disappointed, overlooked, and stressed. We need to stop romanticizing the idea of giving selflessly all the time. That's a recipe for misery, not happiness.

Smart Enough To Lead... Smart Enough To Breed?!?!
This is the weirdest false equivalency I've ever seen. It makes my brain hurt analyzing this. Greta isn't guiding anything. She's an advocate and a protestor trying to save the world. She's famous but she has no political power. Epstein was a disgusting POS who abused undergage women for fun and profit. This isn't apples to oranges, it's apples to used tires.

''for The Last Time'', He Proclaimed
I'm quite convinced that the vast majority of people who are super hung up about this frankenstein/dr Frankenstein thing have not read the book themselves. They just want to display how cultured they are by putting other people down. A bit like being hung up about pineapple pizza. Kind regards, someone who read 2/3 of the book and then didn't finish it because I foolishly started reading another book.

Also saying that the UK uses the metric system is an oversimplification. We do use it mostly, but then we travel miles to avoid it sometimes.

Explain This
One time, after telling a guy that I'm Indian, he asked me what tribe? I am genuinely annoyed that the same word is used for two totally different groups of people that I don't think could be any more unrelated. I've always wondered but never had the chance to ask if Native Americans like the word "indian" to describe themselves or if they prefer a different word. I would prefer they used a different word. My people come from the Indus valley, the word Indian makes sense. We call native Americans Indians because some explorers a few hundred years ago were confused about where they were (at least that's my understanding). There must be a better word to use for describing people who lived on this land before the USA was a country. -- Google tells me the preferred terms are "Native American" or "indigenous".

On How To Be Cool, And Not A Fool
To be honest, the original post feels like a prime example of baiting or intentionally using Cunningham's law ( stating a wrong statement to get a correct answer quickly). I'm not sure why he'd want that, but it doesn't seem to be genuine ignorance

And He Mixed Up Black Bear vs. Brown Bear Behavior
What he said is true for black bears in general. What the EXPERT said is true for the case she was talking about which was a momma bear with cubs. Almost *any* female animal will attack you to defend their cubs (there are a few exceptions, mainly animals that have multiple litters a year and can afford to lose the offspring in order to preserve their own life)
Third Hole?! Surely You Jest!
Basic Math
Many years ago, I took a training class in which we had to solve a maths problem. Everyone - including the trainer! - got the wrong answer because they did the equation left to right without following the order of operations. When I explained why it doesn't work that way and explained the order of operations, one of the other participants tried to claim they didn't have the order of operations when they were in school.
Oscar The Grouch
Hunting Vegies
Well, if we think about languages other than English, the matter is no longer so clear-cut. The best example is the Japanese term キノコ狩り (kinoko kari) whose translation is literally mushroom hunting. I also wouldn't say in Finnish that I go to collect mushrooms, but it has its own word that contains the word mushroom, sienestys. You can also say that you are going to a berry forest, marjametsälle or a game forest, riistametsälle. The word hunting is completely missing even though both are about it. the Finnish term metsästys contains the word forest and does not really explain what is being hunted there in the forest. Stones, plants, berries or people. who knows.

That is scientific proof, but they will still deny it and tell you that God created the Earth as "mature" and "fully-formed," just as Adam was created as a full-grown adult from dust. Trust me, there's no actual, real proof you can give these people that they won't have some answer for.

Someone Doesn’t Understand How The Food Supply Chain Works... Or Agriculture, For That Matter
Here in Germany, I remember a discussion about whether agriculture is an essential part of ecomony, because it only makes up about 1% of our gross domestic product. Like people actually seem to think that we could just stop doing agriculture and only lose some money. Imagine a country that has to import 100% of food from others.

Wireless PC's Don't Exist
I've been in IT 30 years. A laptop is a PC. It's a computer that you own personally. That big boxy tower computer is called a desktop computer, and it is also a computer that you own personally. Laptops and Desktops are both PCs.
"I'm Not Sure If I Agree But Ok"
Why (apart from stupidity) isn't the obvious counter-answer 'I'll drive at more than 75mph then'? And for those asking where you could possibly do that, this screenshot doesn't state that it's point-to-point. It could be laps on a NASCAR race circuit. They do an average of 180mph, so 11.1 hours continuously.

Blackberry, sure, is like blueberry that it is a fruit called after a colour. But orange (colour) was named after orange (fruit); before then we called the colour ‘red-yellow’.
