Autism diagnoses. Myself and lots of autistic people I know are often told by people who seem to base their entire knowledge of autism off the movie Rain Man are like "but you don't seem autistic."

Research on autism has changed a lot since the 80s but public perception has changed very little.

Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed People Won’t Accept These 35 Facts That Are 100% True Being 35-50 wasn’t considered “elderly” back in the day.

It was common for people to live into their 70s and 80s. The reason we get “average lifespan” data with such low numbers is because so many babies died, skewing the average values downward.

Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed People Won’t Accept These 35 Facts That Are 100% True That most people would do some pretty awful things for money if presented the opportunity. People would like to believe that they have strong morals but if presented with a button that would kill 10 random people in the world in exchange for 1 million dollars, many would press it. I would guess at least half of the population would. And many would press it multiple times. But not many people would actually admit that they would press it if given the opportunity to. Maybe I am just too cynical and not many would press it, but this hypothetical situation is something I think about a lot.

Oof this is a huge one and very subtle compared to most stuff commented in here so far.
 
We love to think we are creating this world of diversity and inclusion, but once you scratch the surface it is all just a facade, tokenisation all the way down. Even the people preaching those values tend to do so from the comfort of a highly homogenous group.

Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed People Won’t Accept These 35 Facts That Are 100% True The Monty Hall Problem. Every time it is described in a post (such as a TIL, or on a Facebook post), a large number of people vehemently insist that switching doors couldn’t possibly result in an increased chance of winning. Even after showing the results of simulations, providing mathematical proofs, or giving examples using more doors, the cognitive dissonance prevails.
