Common sense, despite its name, is really not that common at all.

People online share the dumbest beliefs they’ve encountered in real people. From the idea that the literal sun is a government invention, to using public funds to control the weather, get comfortable as you read through, upvote the most unhinged ideas and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences below.

People who believe that covid wasn’t real. Funeral service workers including myself know how real it was having to build makeshift morgues for all the bodies we couldn’t get to cemeteries/crematories because they were so backed up. Healthcare workers too, obviously. It was an insane time and I could not believe the amount of people that believed it was fake.

I can’t wrap my head around the fact that some people believe that vaccines cause more harm than good. We have mountains of research showing how effective and safe they are, yet the misinformation still spreads like wildfire. It's baffling how easily people can fall for such unfounded claims!
#3
That people think that cats can be vegan.
They're carnivores! If you try to make a cat eat an all-veggie diet, they will starve. Their digestive tracts aren't suited for it.

Not just cats. Any animal that is naturally omnivorous will eventually suffer from some sort of health issue

I was laughing with my sister today that some people believe democrats used off shore windmills to “aim” hurricane helene to hit the Republican counties. My sister admitted it was unlikely but that we do have the ability to affect the paths of hurricanes.
She’s also anti-vaxx so I really should have known better.

If you believe your opponent can aim hurricanes you should just give up.

That Conversion therapy can change an individual's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual.
#6
That people willingly donate their life f*****g savings to churches who are obviously just stealing their money. Like small town churches that recieve absolutely no funding because the town has a pop of 45? Makes sense to need to take donations but those 10000 member plus mega churches are straight up grifters. I can't see how people could do that.

"And many will come saying there He is, or He is here. Do not believe them, they are wolves in sheep's clothing". I think about that a lot! The troubling thing is those who demand a "Christian Nation" think their God is orange and who repeatedly goes against that which is written. Same thing with many of the "Godly men".

A guy told me this (flat earther).
The last eclipse we had was a fake.
Simply just a distraction so that the government could replace the sun to better control people.
Not kidding.

Scientology is basically someone's s****y Sci-fi premise turned into a religion somehow.
René Sauer 2 months ago
yep. baffled me when I first learned about how Scientology came to be. funnily enough, I learned it from f*cking South park. I thought it was BS, but then I researched it and it was absolutely true.

That global warming isn’t real.
Arturo De la Rosa 2 months ago
Absolutely amazing that deniers exist. But to be honest I'm more concern about the larger group climate inactive people, (the mayority) people who believe climate change is real, but do not do anything about it, either because they don't believe is "that bad" or because they believe their efforts to be futile.

Covid vaccinations had microchips or whatever used to track people. Unbelievable...

Aliens build it. Like the pyramids or the old temples or the Easter Island thing. Sure these all seem hard but jeez have some faith in your ancestors. They had the same brain! We are the same species! They probably had way more time back then to do these stuff too.
Johnny McFearless 2 months ago
Ah yes, the non-existing pyramids in Bosnia used to charge alien space ship batteries.

A coworker some year back had said that the people and kids involved in the school shootings were actors and not real people. Basically saying that it was all a hoax.

So, does this co-worker have millions of dollars? Alex Jones found he was criminally incorrect.

Moon landing deniers. Seriously. It's the second most debunked conspiracy behind flat earth.
#17
People earnestly believing that there's a magic supernatural entity willing to endlessly torture you if you deviate from the weird rules "they" set up or don't worship them enough. It's all bollocks. It's bollocks designed to control you. Step into the light of rationalism!

Astrology's hold on people is baffling.

We Scorpios aren't dumb enough to believe that nonsense.

People who think that 9/11 was fake. Like literally they believe the broadcast is edited.

Chemtrails from airplanes - The government or other parties are involved in a secret program to add toxic chemicals to the atmosphere via contrails from airplanes. Various different trainings are applied for chemtrail such as sterilization, lowering life expectancy, mind control or weather control.

Churches that allow venomous snakes to bite them to show their faith in the Lord... dude, no!!
NumbSurprise:
And then they refuse treatment is they’re bitten. Several of them die every year. Natural selection.

That is a cult disguised as a church to swindle money from attenders.

That people actually believe birds aren't real and that certain events in history were fake. The fact there are people out there that truely believe millions of people are paid "crisis actors" blows my mind.

I knew a woman who believed that there are high-end resorts on the moon that rich people are vacationing at. She was shocked and confused when I told her that I didn't also believe this.

Maybe she thought Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was real. I mean it would be great.

That people into crypto honestly think it's "next generation technology."
They all know it's a scam. But they need "greater fools" to buy into it in order to get their exit liquidity.

That Russian elections are not rigged.

My wife: "Why don't they vote him (Putin) out?" "Ummm...maybe because any opposition he faces he just poisons or meets a fatal accident?" I don't have patience to explain his former career as head of the E German KGB, who may not have invented torture, but certainly refined it.
