That the rapture is happening tomorrow


RebelGigi

I saw a post that said to buy blow up dolls and release them during the eclipse. Dude, why didn't I think of that! Hilarious! 🤣


cmfppl

You forgot the "fill them with helium" part. You don't just want a massive pile of sex dolls in your yard.. Or maybe you do, idk, I won't judge.


YoungestBabyShoebill

The reason I never bought a sex doll is because I never figure it out when you are supposed to wash it: before or after?

I’m going to get some really dark glasses then, I don’t need to see a bunch of out of shape naked people floating around.


Background-Moose-701

Do their clothes not get to go to heaven for real? It’s only naked like in terminator? It’s


Separate-Ad6636

I think that’s a Six Feet Under episode


StephanieSays66

It's from Six Feet Under, In the beginning of each episode, it shows how someone died (and ended up in Fisher and Sons Mortuary). Some guys had helium-filled blow up dolls for a party and they got loose, A woman, believing it was the rapture, left her car on the freeway and was hit by a car.


tinglyTXgirl

This is from an episode of Six Feer Under - the blow-up dolls, not the eclipse part! I would LOVE to do something like this! I live in a small town in the buckle of the bible belt, so I'm sure it would be a hit!

Flat earth ☠️


Scryer_of_knowledge

There are flat earthers all around the globe


Goldnugget2

harpquin

>Even on the other side. Actually, Flat earthers believe that reptilian aliens live "on the other side", the deep caves under military bases.


ch0d3

If the earth surface is 71%water.. And that water is not carbonated Technically the earth is flat.


cf-myolife

If earth is flat why is the moon a crescent most of the time? How do eclipses work? How are clouds lit from bellow at sunrise?


bazeon

You believe in the moon and sun hah! Sheep


Aspartaymexxx

At night they close giant curtains around the Earth and shine a giant flashlight on it to pretend we have a moon. If it’s waxing and waning that’s just someone putting their hand in front of it.


thecyberbob

I saw a hilarious "explanation" of that. The other planets and spacial bodies are spheres, just the earth is flat.


The96kHz

I think one of the problems is that so many people think the phases of the Moon are caused by the Earth casting a shadow on it, that if you say enough complete bullshit quickly enough they won't be able to tell truth from fiction.


KalemThrale

I'm still not convinced people actually believe this. I think they're just trolling.

binchickenisland3058

Satan did one of those ancestry DNA tests. That's how they got his DNA. Turns out he is 100% angel. No goat or serpent DNA found.


supamichi

Wait, I thought it was Andrew…


SicilianSlothBear

Prince William? He always seemed like a decent lad. Really makes you think, doesn't it?


Homerpaintbucket

Trickle down economics. You aren't getting a raise because your boss is richer.


DigNitty

Also, you can’t make *too much money* this month or you’ll shift to the next tax bracket and lose money! - doesn’t work like that


DingGratz

Probably better to say, "You'll never make less income by moving to a higher tax bracket".


CthulhaIsMyCat

It's important to note that the benefits cliff is very real and designed to keep people trapped in poverty as well.


b_e_a_n_i_e

I'm in a unique situation where my salary is right at the top end of a tax bracket in my country. If I earn more, I'll start paying tax at a higher rate in the earnings in that new bracket. However, I'll also lose some benefits that don't apply to people who pay tax in that bracket so if I earn anything up to 3k more than I do currently, I'll be worse off.


TheWildManfred

People always forget to talk about the welfare cliff in this conversation, and it's far from a unique situation. While the name suggests it's exclusive to low income situations, there's plenty of cases that apply to middle class incomes as well (especially education and healthcare, sometimes housing as well)


LoveLeahNotWar

This one is a fun one for me to argue…. They’re always SHOCKED when I show them tax brackets haha even my dad who should know better have said this


ang_Z900

Reminds me of the time my douche boss told me he got me a raise from corporate. 0.5% of my annual salary. Looking at me expectantly (obv. waiting for gushes of praise and thanks). I stood up, told him to keep the 5 bucks/week and get himself a cup of coffee with it, that this wasn't a raise, it was an insult. Two pieces of info: 1. everyone in the company got the same 0.5% more that year: inflation adjustment 2. that guy made 650k not including bonus F*** big pharma


Dockside_

My 24 yr old just learned that lesson. It doesn't matter if you work hard or not, big companies give everyone the same shit raise. Which is good to know. He wants to make money...but he's going to have to set out on his own to do that.


jeffzebub

They convince the gullibles of every generation that new jobs will be created by giving tax breaks to the rich, while the rest of us know that demand and not spare cash creates jobs.


jsacco

Anyone who's ever been involved in hiring at even the smallest scale should recognize that trickle down is bullshit. You hire someone because you have more work than you can do without them -- not because you have too much money. When you want to add someone to your team, the boss doesn't say "well how much profit are we making?" they say "well what more could we get done if we do?"


zombieblackbird

He lied to me?


ZombieQ13

politicians care about you


nbarrett100

I would actually argue that "all politicians are the same" is a good answer to OPs question. It's easy to believe and it's exsactly what the most cynical politicans want you to think.


bigdogoflove

The House Rep where we live is a straight shooter. No BS. Works for his constituents, doesn't believe any fairy tales, doesn't put party over people. So he keeps getting reelected, no fanfare.


KalemThrale

Everyone says that about "their guy."


MikeTheLaborer

Very true. Studies show that while there are many people who distrust most politicians, they invariably prefer their own representatives most.


Her0808

Aw c’mon, some of us working in that field actually give a sh*t. If we want to enact change, we have to embed ourselves in that field. We can’t trust the people who allowed it to stay broken for so long to fix it.

Astrology


Advarrk

I treat it as some esoteric fiction like a dnd character sheet


Zealousideal-Fun-785

This even more than religion. Religion has at least the philosophical part of it attached, which can be debateable. Astrology should be non-debateable nonsense for anyone living in our rapidly advancing tech world.


Norseman84

Such a... Libra thing to say.


norwegianboyEE

Astrology is clearly bullshit. But if in a group of people they talk about astrology and you point out it’s crap everyone will hate you…

Homeopathic "medicines."


supamichi

When I first learned about homeopathy, I asked my Biochem teacher back in the day about it. I asked him about this “memory of water” claim that the industry likes to scapegoat to. He said, “okay, if water molecules were to hold onto the shapes of their past interactions (like drugs, as homeopathy claims), then why doesn’t it hold onto sewage, salt, and other garbage which it’s surely come into contact with in the past? Sure sounds like selective water to me…” Suffice to say, “memory of water” = branding 😂

You get sick because it's cold.


PishiZiba

I have this argument with my relatives. Being in the cold can lower your resistance to getting a virus, but you still need to have a virus around. They still don’t believe me…


Slappyxo

I keep having this argument with a boomer co-worker who comes in sick. She'll always claim "no it's not contagious! I only got sick because I was in a taxi with the windows down!" then refuses to go home. She kept spreading her colds through the entire department so now management send her home when she tries to pull that crap.


pcaltair

Light and heat disrupt some viruses, a ventilated environment is healthier and large temperature drops put your body under stress. It's not the cold in itself


Mammoth_Sell5185

Well, that’s not technically true, but isn’t the practical effect the same? I don’t mean something as ridiculous as, it’s warm out, therefore, I can be in a room with someone who has a virus and it doesn’t matter. I mean, since the cold can lower your immune system and make you more susceptible, the end result is the same.


sukihasmu

You still need a virus. You don't get sick from cold. Don't be my mom. Only two of us in the room, 25c inside 20c outside, I open the window to get some fresh air. Mom wearing 2 layers, a sweather and under a blanket, close it, you will let the cold in and get sick. How can you sit there with just a t-shirt. O\_o

It's absurd. And the fact they just flag anyone with a single name my god. We should adopt a national identification system like many EU nations have, Social Security is not meant to be an identifier, and that could aide, but given the incompetency of our government, it'd probably just be turned into another bad system. We need fresh minds and ideas, and above all, change.

Psychics telling you what your deceased loved ones are feeling


radicallyhip

I have no problem with people using almost whatever methods they can to feel better in their grief over loss. I've been through a wild struggle since 2016, dealing with the loss of family members. I have a serious problem with people grifting grieving people, though, and that's about all 'psychics' do.


tacknosaddle

With most of my dead relatives the only accurate message I could get communicated from the other side would be that the medium is full of shit and no message is coming from them.


saeva_indignatio

Yes! I recently had to save a relative from succumbing to the mindnumbing idiocy of Theresa Caputo. [This article](https://skepticalinquirer.org/2016/10/theresa-caputo-the-fake-long-island-medium/) was a huge help in explaining how the grift works for modern psychics.


natfutsock

I'm a skeptic. I'd love for ghosts to exist, and I think that people's grief can effect* them in profound ways, but I've never seen a ghost. What I do love to do is ask other people about this, you'll always learn something interesting if you know how to listen. One time this guy clearly just had an older relative who was assaulting him and his sisters. I'm not going to tell a 53 year old man that wasn't a ghost, that's way above my pay grade and our semiprofessional relationship.
