it's easy to disprove and people believe it anyway.
If I didnt believe it myself, I'd have thought nobody believed in this one. But I guess some people really can be that stupid. Iykyk.
It's a nitpick, but I don't believe it's as simple as people being stupid. I think it's people being suspicious, suggestible, and algorithmically educated.[1] i.e. they reject mainstream anything, believe what harmonizes with their brain waves, and are served weapons grade dopaminergic content.
ironically, such algorithms are made and tuned by physics phds in many cases. ↩
It sounds uncheritable, but i think people are mostly to blame. And while you say suggestible i say stupid. My opinion is that each person has, at a minimum, the responsibility to use their brain and putting the onus completely on the technology/the system feels a little like saying guns kill people.
believe what harmonizes with their brain waves
Exactly. Confirmation bias can be a deadly disease.

Interesting. I wonder what it might be doing to humanity that children and teens often can have "answers" to questions before they can even pose them to their parents. Talking to parents, they might be wrong, but at least there is tge built in feature that eventually you see their foibles and realize maybe they haven't actuslly gotten it all worked out.
From a comedic perspective, Birds Aren't Real is a good one.
It's funny because, unlike chemtrails or earth shapes, and lacking the scientific literacy element, it's easy to disprove and people believe it anyway.
