A Middle Finger to Those Blurring Out Names

A lie travels fast and far, but eventually the truth will catch up with it. This photo reminds us of just that.

Somewhere in the late 1500s (I will have to check the date), the now famous Italian astronomer Galileo Galileo said the earth wasn't flat, and not the center of the universe, and that our planet is revolving around the sun. And he could prove it.

 The mighty church that ruled with fear and godsnot said the opposite. According to the Roman Catholic Church, a man on horse cart dragged the sun every day through the sky. Anyone refusing to believe it was burned alive on the market plain, with residents of the town compelled to watch.

Also, despite what doctors could witness on battlefields, the church claimed as truth that blood circulates only once through the body, before magically disappearing into a fountain in the body. Don't believe it? Google it, or let's get a great fire going for you. 

The Evolution of A Telescope Will Hunt Down Every Cloud Daddy

Did you know that gravity – that you can prove yourself by dropping a Bible into a toilet – is regarded till this day by scientists as 'only a theory'?

You will of course also then be able to prove that the Bible is only good to block a drain. It doesn't work well as doorstop; dogs tend to piss on it. But that's beyond the scope of this short article.

No Fact-check Needed for This Conspiracy Theory

  Want to know how to debunk conspiracy theories on social media without doing fact-checking? Here's how.

Conspiracy Theory No. 42748, patent number 34E639W, developed at the top secret underground lair of Doofus McTarded in his mommy's basement while high on some cheap cake flour about to be peddled by him as meth, is once again doing the rounds on social media. Also, our Doofus believes a man called Noah once gotten to the age of 900 years without a medical aid, and Trump is just the best poozee grabir ever. Great credentials. 

   A good online friend of mine shared the below conspiracy theory on his timeline, and Facebook found it vital that I should be informed. Instead of entering hissy fit mode, I decided to see if I could debunk the conspiracy without doing any fact-checking first - since nobody on FB anyway do fact-check as good habit - using just simple, common logic.

A Single Religious Command from the Pope Killed 50% of Europeans

A dangerous rat that is about to attack an innocent piece of pasta

Rats are the most adorable, most misunderstood animal on the planet. They are highly intelligent, and will even refuse to accept food - which they love - when they discover it will cause pain to other rats, a previous study showed.

Statistically 1 out of every 100 people is a sociopath. The latter lacks the physical ability in their brain to feel empathy for anyone and anything but themselves. Though no fault of their own, they can watch other humans and animals in pain and enjoy the sight of it without offering any help or showing any compassion. They can rightly be called inferior humans.

  Here in our modern day and age, with the most information available in the history of mankind at our fingertips, people still kill rats because of ignorance, and.... yes, religion.

Back in the Middle Ages (when religion ruled, and scientists and intellectuals were burned alive) a particular pope hated cats so much, that he ordered all cats to be killed. (I forgot the particular legalized con artist's name, so Google it. Pope Gregory or Pope Poes or something.)
