40 Myths People Think Are True, Yet They Are in Reality Very, Very False, As Shared In This Online Thread

Comedian Ron White once famously called his show You Can't Fix Stupid. The statement is debatable, because in theory, education is supposed to do that, but it's a completely different story when it boils down to practice. And so there is always work to be done when pushing away the tide of ignorance.

But until then, Redditors embrace the reality by asking questions and sharing experiences. Specifically, this time around, someone on Reddit asked people to share the dumbest myths people today still believe, and the r/AskReddit community was quick to deliver.

Scroll down, enjoy the list, and why not upvote and comment some of your stories in the comment section below!

40 Myths People Think Are True, Yet They Are in Reality Very, Very False, As Shared In This Online Thread When I had cancer a few years back and was doing chemotherapy I had people who constantly questioned that I actually "had cancer" due to the fact that my hair didn't fall out until I was actually in remission (Had been off chemo for about 2-3 weeks when my hair started gradually thinning and falling out).

It's a complete myth that every single person's hair will have the same reaction to chemo. Some people lose hair right away, some don't. Everybody is different.

40 Myths People Think Are True, Yet They Are in Reality Very, Very False, As Shared In This Online Thread There are dumber ones out there, but the one I, as an estate lawyer, deal with constantly is the idea that there needs to be a "reading" of the will, where the family all gather and the lawyer reads it aloud to them for the first time. We don't do that, we just mail everyone their own copy if they want it.

It's a really stubbornly persistent one because people continue to see scenes of it in movies and TV shows, where it's used for some big dramatic reveal. I've even had irate beneficiaries insist that the administration of the estate can't be "official" until there's a reading.

Way, *way* back, like 150 years ago or so, I believe we used to do something like that at times because you couldn't exactly presume literacy on the part of the beneficiaries, but now we feel it's a pretty safe bet that you can either read it or find someone who can.

AndThenICommented 1 year ago

This one includes an extra myth - that you can’t tone a fatty area. You cannot target fat loss, but you CAN build muscle and tighten muscle. As the muscle grows, there’s more surface area for the fat and that in turn can give the illusion of fat loss. For the example of crunches - if your core is weak, then strengthening can give an improved appearance by: tightening internal corset and promoting better posture. However, true abs are made in the kitchen in conjunction with an appropriate training plan.

The Hutus were legitimately oppressed by the Tutsis (but to be fair, that comes back to Leopold, the patron satan of Africa). All people are fundamentally similar.

They weren't locked away, but you have to remember that the 3rd class berths were in the least desirable parts of the ship. Single men were put in the forward quarters, families and single women in the back. During the sinking, most of these single men traveled down a long corridor called Scotland Road. By the time they made it to the stern, it was too late. An alternative would have been to climb up a series of ladders that, of course, no one told them about or directed them to use. Another emergency exit would have taken them through 1st and 2nd class areas they had been told were off-limits. With no one to guide them, most men avoided taking these unfamiliar paths. There is also some evidence to show that the 3rd Class women and families were stalled or prevented from reaching Boat Deck. The stewards gave them the runaround and asked that they wait in the 3rd class General Room below the poop deck. Since they were so far back in the ship, they probably didn't understand how badly the ship was damaged until late in the night, so they waited patiently for directions that came far too late for most of them. Tldr: They didn't need to lock 3rd class passengers up; the system did the work all on its own. This is a good article on the 3rd class men: (https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/fatal-journey-third-class-men.html) And this is a good PowerPoint on the gates.

To be fair, a great many things I learned as a child in history class or science class have since be found to be incomplete, inaccurate, misunderstood, etc. Math has been pretty stable though ...

Mine is "The customer is always right." No Karen, you cannot butcher a saying to allow you to talk to the manager. It's "The customer is always right in matters of taste."

Mine is "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Many thousands of survivors of concentration camps and gulags are proof that this ain't necessarily so.

A girl I worked with years ago insisted that a birth control pill has 700 calories. Where she got this idea (way before the internet), I don't know. Probably small-town Iowa, where she grew up. Anyway, I was about 35yo at the time and had been on bcp since I was 20. I said, a pound of fat = 3500 calories more consumed than burned by the body. What do you think I'd look like now if I'd consumed an extra 3500 calories EVERY 5 DAYS for the last 15 years???? (I weighed about 130 at the time.) She still wasn't convinced her street knowledge wasn't true.

I know heaps and heaps of myths, commonly believed and not true. For example "infinity=infinity+1" is a myth. Etc. Etc.

My daughter has naturally super thick and long hair. Her friend's mom told us that when you let your hair grow long, your body is starved of nutrients needed for other growth. As though cutting her hair would somehow cause it to grow less and use fewer nutrients?

since it misses the satanist marks, like "we owe nothing to you" or "it's all your fault", i would say this is a pretty honest article; except the "taxi driver" that tried to cover a lie with an opposite one, which is one of the most disgusting means of the new age propaganda.

Women’s bare breasts are bad. I checked and no one died from women’s bare breasts last year but many died from guns.
