You'd have to be denser than lard and molasses to believe it does

Use your individual action to buy well and lobby your politicians

The proof that earth is a globe is that if it were flat, cats would have pushed everything over the edge already.

Vaccines are nothing but literally TRAINING for an individual's own immune system! Being anti-vaxx is like saying you don't believe in Training!

And then you get those peddlers who claim you have "x pounds of sludge" just chilling out in your intestines....

The coffe was so hot that Stella Liebeck received third degree burns. She required multiple operation. Stella offered to settle the case for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses and lost income. Her injuries were absolutely horrendous!!! www.caoc.org/?pg=facts

She spilled the coffee because it was so hot, the styrofoam cup deformed enough that the lid didn't fit. She needed multiple skin grafts. McD's refused to pay the hospital bills, originally all she asked for. That's why she sued. The myth was created by McDonald's PR department.

When the people sue companies, it's foolish money grabbing. But when corporations so it, it's good business

3rd degree burn! Coffee that hot wouldn't be drinkable

This happened to me once. Unbelievably hot coffee. I sipped it cautiously but my lips and mouth were blistered for a few days. There is hot coffee and there is hot hot coffee that shouldn't be that hot.

She was disfigured in her genital area by how hot the coffee was. She had no normal bodily functions for the rest of her life. Such a disservice to use her case to push the "frivolous lawsuit" thing.

The most damaging testimony against McDonald's was from McDonald's own safety experts. They had emphatically warned their employer for years about this ongoing danger, and McDonald's did nothing. Ignoring the advice of your own experts about a serious danger is the textbook definition of "negligence" under the law.

Her grandson was driving but they had pulled into a parking space. She simply opened the over-filled boiling coffee and it spilled.

She got injures ok her vagina. That pretty bad. That some hot coffee

Where the HOAX part comes in is NOT from Ms. Liebeck's burn but from the copycats afterwards who tried to spill and burn so they could sue McDonald's for huge amounts, too. One such was a lawyer/politician from Ft. Smith Arkansas who did this with some hot chocolate. However, he over did the amount supposedly spilled, the extent of his burns and the melting of not only his pants but the carpet in his car. Because of this and other fake burns this has been called a hoax since them. NOTE: Yes, the coffee was too hot at the time of the original incident and Ms. Liebeck was driving. Her coffee was spilled as she left the lot...the drive to the street had too large of a bump causing the spill

Temp control issues is also why McDonald’s stopped selling fried apple pies. They were served two degrees below hell.

Am I missing the point here? Don't we all know coffee is hot and of course you shouldn't drive whilst drinking something hot?

The big result is that everyone serves their coffee and hot drinks within a tight temperature range. For her to have received those kinds of burns, the coffee had to be nearly boiling hot. And that is the part of the lawsuit that we all are benefitting from.

I didn't know these details - TIL!

What I still don't understand: Water can only reach 100°C (at normal air pressure), that's the temperature tea has since you make it with boiling water. Coffee gets brewed at around 90°C. How could you NOT expect the coffee to be that hot? And would it have been different if she ordered tea instead of coffee?

1. There is only one election referenced when using the term "Big Lie", and that's discussing 45 and his allegations that he actually won. 2. Notice that 45 only says he was impacted and not anyone else who lost the election that year. 3. There have been more recent local and state elections since then.

So sunlight is good. The plants were right

Financial homeopathy

However, for some people believing in something will make them feel better.

If your religion scams you out of your property and personal freedom, it's a cult.

The "power" of homeopathic... stuff ('cause it's NOT medication) is measured in "Centesimal dilutions", or CH. Even conceding the active principles used works (they don't), at 12 CH statistically there is not a single atom of the principle in a liter of water. At 30 CH (the dilution commonly used for flu "medication") you can expect to have a single atom of active principle every 10 BILLIONS BILLIONS (10^18) liters of water. That is roughly the volume of the Indian Ocean to have ONE SINGLE ATOM of active principle.

Cycling can break your hymen...as can swimming and horse riding. It's such a stupid concept.

This is not a myth, is simply lack of knowledge.

All the owners of these companies are rich, but gained their money through other ways, when people see someone rich saying that you can get a lot of money doing this and that, they follow it

John Harvey Kellogg invented cornflakes as a cure for wanking, not as a substantial breakfast.

So I can keep my instant noodles. Was worried I'd have to toss the lot

Yep, there's no such thing as a lie detector. Polygraphs measure stress, not honesty. That's why polygraph results aren't admissible evidence in UK courts.

We'd be screwed if GMOs caused cancer because 99% of the veges we buy today have been genetically modified of the last 10,000 years...

sadly some do

Now remember kids, if someone gives you drugs on Halloween, you say thank you. Because drugs are expensive.

I was so annoyed when my daughter found out that this was a myth, I had kept it going because I hated the noise it makes.

They do have different colour vision to us, though. I believe they don't have (or have fewer) receptors for the red end of the spectrum. Consequently they don't see reds and oranges, but in shades of blue, green and yellow.

Space homeopathy

Werewolf movies and Wattpad lied to us all.

What...is Qanon. Is it a language from Star Trek or something
