50 Facts People Are Tired Of Explaining Because Some Still Refuse To Believe Them

Or, just because you're filming it on social media doesn't make it right either. And just because someone is shouting doesn't mean they're a Karen.

That people misuse the concept of opinions. Thinking that the Earth is flat isn't an opinion; you're just denying factual evidence. "I like purple" is an opinion.

♱ amen.

You do what is right for your family and it's really none of anyone else's business.

“What other people think of me is none of my business…”

I'm a "housewife" during the summers (I"m a teacher) and have to say that the amount of work involved compared to the person actually working is nothing, like 3 hours a day (if no kids, parenting is a full time job). I feel extremely grateful to have time to cook fancy meals, keep the house clean, do projects, run errands, garden, and still have hours and hours a day of me time to relax for 6-7 weeks a year. I couldn't handle doing it all year, though, I get bored of it after about 3 weeks. To each their own!

It is sooooooo about time we stopped treating this as abnormal and somehow "twisted"!

Wouldn't housespouse be a better alternative? No stigma associated with husband/wife ending as it's gender neutral.

Prayers are verbal placebo, and should not replace modern effective medical treatment

The placebo effect is so well documented that all new medicine have to be tested to perform *better* than a placebo. So don't use placebo instead of a vaccine, but alongside it.

I can't believe that my mother is now an anti-vaxxer. I was vaccinated, my children are vaccinated but even though the autistic children she knows were likely caused by mom using d***s during pregnancy. She insists it's vaccines.

Don't forget hugs likes and shares, and lately "stands with".....

I'm sort of surprised this is here. There is so much evidence for evolution that merely saying "Darwin was right" is an affront to ... well anyone who has spent their lives studying science of any sort. It's like saying, "well, I didn't believe in evolution, or medical research, or chemistry, geology, climatology, botany, biology, etc etc but HEY I saw the light." The fact that you had to see the light is the problem.

It's completely inappropriate to ask anyone why they don't have children. You have no idea what they are going through, infertility affects a lot of people so wait until they bring the subject up.

My wife and I had the conversation when we started dating, nearly 30 years ago. Still no children, and it’s now too late. We (especially she) always had “you will change your mind” - no, we won’t; “who will look after you when you’re old?” - if that’s why you are having children, they will definitely not be there for you (because you weren’t really there for them): and “is there something wrong?” - maybe…. As it is, I retired in my forties, we have savings, and we are still madly in love.

If someone does not want children, then they absolutely would not make good parents. Raising kids you *want* is hard enough. Raising kids you don't want is just going to lead to resentful, stressed adults and the children will suffer even if they adults do their best not to show it.

Me and my husband like to reply that we don't have kids because we have stairs.

Honestly, I wish more people would ask me why I don't have kids. Gives me an excuse to talk about endometriosis and how research into women's health is so behind.

When you've lived in a winter climate all your life and paying attention to how different winter has been over the decades, and the summers, you then notice something is changing. Winter in the prairies has been coming a bit later and not as hard as it once did when I was young. I remember big snowfalls around Halloween, walking through inches and inches of snow, wearing a snowsuit with an over sized costume to fit over it. The duration of trick r treating was how long you could last before you felt too cold. Winters were cold, yes, but the -35C and lower days were not as frequent, and usually resulted in indoor recess and if you had to walk to school you had the choice to stay home. Now, these frost-biting temps have been inevitable part of winter and stick around that it's no longer an acceptable excuse to stay home, unless the temps are -45C or lower with the windchill, and that's only if the kid has to walk to school longer than 15 minutes, which isn't common anymore.

Climate change is not just about the average temperature getting higher. The deviation from the average is getting wider. When I was younger, you didn't have days where it could be close to zero celsius at night and then plus eighteen at midday. And the hotter days are getting hotter while the colder days are getting colder.

I live in the South and on my third birthday nobody could come because of a blizzard. As a kid I remember there being several feet of snow and making snowmen, though they would melt pretty quickly. Now in my thirties, I literally wear shorts when opening Christmas presents. Of course, every time there's a slightest chance for snow, people freak out and stock up on bread and milk like they'll be snowed in for weeks and the weathermen won't shut up even though it's mostly slush. Every single winter. 🙄🫩

Yep. This is one point that people are totally ignorant about.

Climate has changed ever since the beginning. This is no new thing.

Today's kids are much less proficient with technology than those of us who actually learned it in practice during the 90s. They are also functionally illiterate, being unable to read, write or spell. Think you're so smart, kid? Read the greeting card that Grandma wrote in cursive.

Many elderly people are quite competent using computers, smartphones, tablets etc, however they struggle to use them due to things like sight loss and dexterity issues.

This should be higher!

I'm 73 yo and I know more than many younger. I consider myself as a gifted amateur.

I just hate it when it changes too often. I am not sitting around at school, or work(!) or in a train all the time to update. I'm a mechanic. My hands are dirty 9 hours per day. And I drive to work, 2 hours round trip. When the f*** do you think I can update and relearn a new version of abyss - I mean Excel?
