Thank you! Scientifically speaking, look at the teeth. Carnivorous pets are specially designed to eat meat.

Ok vaccines do NOT cause autism, yes it may have side affects mentally or physically but autism is something you are born with! And I know that some of our beloved bored panda community has autism and can back me up on this. (edit: im sorry to everyone that got ofended by this statement! im not a medical professional!)

The notion of getting money for anything I enjoy doing instantly sucks the fun out of it for me and makes me dread it. Sure, money is nice and I obviously need it, but the mental pressure I put on myself isn't helpful.

Once when I got home from work my cat came walking down the hallway meowing happily. It was so cute

Best described as the top dog drinks champagne while the masses below have to drink their p*ss. Trickle-down economics only works if the rich do not control the tap

Anger is an emotion, and it’s one that men can display without being labeled “emotional”. (Not exclusively, and not all men, but generally compared to women.)

What would the point of this if it was true? In a missing persons case the first 24 hours are the most crucial for investigators and the missing person

Elon Musk has proven this isn’t true

Conversely, really good things happen to people who really don't deserve it!

Yesss! I support a wolf sanctuary in Washington who recently taught me this! Apparently males of the same litter can get along whereas females begin showing aggression toward related females around maturity

Only the people who believe this do

While we're at it, that eye-witnesses testimony is reliable. The human memory is generally HORRIBLE at accuracy.

Too many antibiotics can lead to C-Diff and TRUST ME YOU DO NOT WANT THAT. It happened to me, I get a lot of staph infections that require antibiotics and I ended up with C-Diff. Would not wish on my worst enemy, lost 20 pounds and was having a very hard time keeping any nutrients in - my body was deficient in a lot by the time they figured out what was wrong. Also it's something you have forever that can flare up again - the flora and fauna in your gut are never the same, ugh

I personally don't really believe in zodiac signs, horoscopes, angel numbers etc. But if it's making you happy, and not making you anxious or creating negative feelings then what's the harm? Let people believe what they want, as long as it's not harmful or dangerous

DON'T call me Shirley.

This isn't really true, or untrue- it's a personal opinion, and I don't think it has any place here.

What

Kinda defeats the point of a lightning rod if it were true.

Got one on my desk right now. It also has USB ports to charge my phone and other devices.

Complicated. TL;DR version: Viruses last longer on cold surfaces than warm. Natural immune processes in our noses don't work as well as normal in low temperatures. . . Forgetting a coat won't give you a cold, but more people get sick more often in winter.

It's illegal to lie to the cops. but the cops can lie to you all they want.

Sorry everyone, this one is true. Vodeogames change people. I played Tomb Raider and three weeks later I was arrested in Cairo with ancient artifacts from Cleopatra's tomb 😕

It was called the dark ages because the sun hadn’t been invented yet /j

I thought it just looked blue through your skin

this idea is from the fact that our veins look blue, it is not true. Veins appear blue because blue light is reflected back to our eyes. Blue light does not penetrate human tissue as deeply as red light does. As a result, veins that are close to the surface of the skin will be more likely to reflect blue light back to the eye

I can remember arguing with my dad about this when I was a little kid. He was adamant that blood only became red when it hit the oxygen in the air. I asked my science teacher and she told me that i was right. I never told my dad because he was so stubborn he would have just kept arguing.

I said this to a nurse when I was like 21. She looked at me like I was the dumbest person on the planet.

No it's not!

We have iron-based blood which reflects red. Skin reflects blue light, which makes the blood vessels appear blue as all other light than red gets absorbed by the blood, where red penetrates the skin, but blue does not, the only one left around blood vessels for us to see, is blue tones. To have real blue blood, it need be copper-based, like octopi, snails etc..

Severely hypoxic (shot of oxygen in their blood) have their blood turn nearly black. Seen it a few times with patients of mine in nursing. My mother before she passed was bright & cognizant but her huge veins turned black. She looked like someone from the X-files. We even had a good laugh about it too. The pulse ox machine wouldn't even register. Oddly she never got short of breath.

The myth began because burns appear blue in some people under the skin. Hence the term ‘blue blood.’

retired EMT. never heard this one.

WHY did we all believe this as kids?! 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

where there is no light, there is no color. It ain't blu or red unless you have a glass body.

When I was about 8, saw a diagram in a child's magazine, showing blood flowing round the body. The blood going TOWARDS the heart was shown in blue, and AWAY from the heart, (once oxygenated) in red, so for a few months, I believed those colours.

I've known people when I was a kid who said they have rare blue blood and everyone else's blood is red. This confused me so much and I found it hard to believe.

It reminds me of the term 'Blue Blood'. "Old (Medieval) Castilian families boasted that they had no Moorish antecedents in their bloodlines, and pointed to the blue veins in their arms as proof." And of course. the 'Elite/Royals' consider themselves blue bloods/'purebred', too. 🙄

Depends. Are you a lobster? :D

Heard this as a kid. Thought it was dumb then, still think it's dumb now lol

LOOOOOOOOOL, people actually believe this??? LMAO! 🤣

It does appear thicker at first though, because hair normally tapers off at the end. When you shave it, the tip of the hair is thicker until it grows out a bit.

Freeways in Houston are constantly under construction. Traffic never gets better

I've been robbed of precious swimming time :O

This started in WWII. They didn't want to give away that Allies had radar so they said the Pilots had good night vision from a diet of carrots. Everyone believed it. The Axis started eating carrots.

Agreed! I'm super introverted, I'm basically asocial, but one thing I am definitely not is shy! If anything, I'm the queen of oversharing, LOL! And other than having some trouble detecting sarcasm, my social competence can range from adequate to actually really good, depending on the setting.

I was under the impression that it’s basically just really salty so it should be ingested in moderation, just like other things that are full of sodium like table salt and soy sauce. But that it’s really no worse for you than those. Someone feel free to corset me if I’m wrong. Edit: ooh, kinky. I clearly meant correct me. LOL

I would imagine that 2k years of elements would have a similar effect.

I'd have vines growing out of every orifice if this was true

I eat cheese during the night (3am) I'm fine. Secret night cheese tastes better

But… it’s a part of the experience!
