Conspiracy Theories

To start, Redditor said, “The Moon landing was fake. Ignoring that there were six moon landings. There is no way Russia or China wouldn’t call them out. Russia had launched the Sputnik and had the first human in space. They had the means to track the moon landers.”

Another said, “Still blows my mind that people think the Earth is flat.“

Superstitions

A user replied, “That black cats are evil. Yes, people do still think this. It’s why they’re not allowed to be adopted around Halloween, because people will get them just to abuse them.”

Pseudoscience

One Redditor wrote, “If you drop a penny off a skyscraper, it will eventually fall fast enough to puncture someone’s skull. By that logic, raindrops would hurt like a brat or straight-up kill you. Not to mention hail.”

A second Redditor added, “That humans only use 10% of their brain. This is false, regardless of how those who proclaim this myth seemingly demonstrate that it is, in fact, true.”

Historical Inaccuracies

A popular comment was, “That Titanic’s third class were locked below, and not allowed into the boats. Just about any myth on the Titanic topic are extremely dumb.”

Another popular one was, ‘The holocaust never happened.”

Health and Wellness Myths

One Redditor simply wrote, “Detox drinks.”

A second Redditor added, “I remember the myth that gum takes 7 YEARS to pass through your digestive system fully.”

Diagnosis Dilemmas

A Redditor added, “That autism doesn’t exist, or that it’s caused by vaccines, or that a person can “grow out” of being autistic.”

Cultural Ideas

One user replied, “It is believed in Indian culture that keeping your unibrow means “good luck” I kept my unibrow for 20 years thinking it was my “good luck” until I got (stage 5) kidney failure and I did my eyebrows after that because who gives a dang about luck anymore. Now my eyebrows look cute AF.”

Another said, “That Racism is dead. Ironically, it is the racist ones that insist on it.”

Government Issues

One funny comment was, ‘That cops have to tell you they are cops if you ask them if they are cops.”

Another said, ‘Trickle-down economics.”

Misconceptions About Animals

One person wrote, “That you eat spiders in your sleep. The spider will not knowingly walk into a predator’s mouth. They can sense both the heartbeat, heat, and noise from humans. All things that would alert them not to go into our mouth.”

Misconceptions About Technology

An annoyed user wrote, “Vaccines are actually Bill Gates trying to put microchips in people and 5g cellphone towers activate them. Or vaccines are the “mark of the beast.” I mean, for forks sake… I knew people were dumb, but are we really THIS dumb?

Financial and Economic Fallacies

An annoyed user wrote, “Oh, I don’t want a raise/make more money because then I’ll lose more money to taxes and take home less!” You only get taxed on the money that’s made above your current bracket. It’s literally impossible to make more money and take home less.”

Misunderstandings About Work

A person wrote, “You have to write a two-week notice before resigning from a job. No, you don’t have to. If your manager deserves it, you should, but it’s only a courtesy move. They wouldn’t fire you with notice, so you don’t have to resign with notice.”

Another person replied, “HR is there to help you. HR isn’t there for anyone but the business and to keep the business out of trouble.”

Urban legends

One funny comment was, “Drug dealers will give you free drugs to get you hooked. Still waiting for this, and I’m 59.”

A second comment was, “Halloween candy is commonly laced with drugs or razor blades.”

Work Ethic Lies

A Redditor added, “You can get rich by working for a wage.”

Another Redditor commented, “Anyone can become a billionaire with some hard work ethic.”
