30 Dumb Things That Some People Unironically Believe 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!

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.

30 Dumb Things That Some People Unironically Believe 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.

30 Dumb Things That Some People Unironically Believe 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.

"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".

"Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money." - George Carlin

My favorite are UFO conspiracists.

And a global conspiracy of nations to keep "the truth" silent? Don't make me laugh, the world's governments can't even stop fighting each other. Don't you think that during the Cold War, one side or the other would be saying, "THEY are lying to their people, but we're going to tell the truth because we're a better country!"
