What's the dumbest science-related thing you've ever heard?

moon is made of blue cheese

The IQ metric is useful and scientific.

earth isn't flat

>>8862641
Poland is on the moon

>>8862636
My friend lived in a flat and he was convinced it wasn't Earth.

>>8862662
Could you elaborate?

>>8862636
why hasn't the sun crashed into earth yet?

>>8862636
The entire thing called astronomy.

>>8862636
gawd esent reel cauze schience

>>8862669
He believed that the Earth was flat but that the flat wasn't Earth.

sex is a spectrum

>>8862636
.999...=1

>>8862679
But what does that even mean?
Did he think his door was a portal to another planet/universe or something?

>>8862681
This

>>8862684
Well first I thought I'd show him that it was Earth by having him carefully look out the window at the boats sailing on the water. I told him you could see that as they moved, they made noise so it would be impossible to hear while not on Earth. He said that this was probably just an illusion. Then I told him the flats in his complex surely had to be on Earth and he agreed they really looked like they did, but that was another illusion because he's not close to his neighbors so he can't be sure inside was Earth even though the outside it. Finally I told him about Earth's magnetic field and how his flat would get too much of the sun's radiation if not Earth. But he said anything above the roof was Earth so that's how he's protected.

Tell me, is your friend clinically insane?

>>8862719
Effectively yes. He also has some pretty detailed explanations that only make me feel even more sorry for him. Like in order to explain the effect of gravity in his apartment, he invoked Einstein's equivalence principle to reason that wherever he is, his flat is accelerating upward at about 9.8m/s^2. Towards what, he doesn't know.

>>8862734
Sounds like your friend was doing a thought experiment, and decided to mess with you after he realized you'd always take him seriously.

>>8862636
>plateaus are tree stumps
Alright hold up do people really believe that a bunch of yggdrasils were chopped down? Is this a real conspiracy theory?

>>8862636
Probability theory is pseudoscience because the universe is deterministic.

We don't know how bikes work.

0.999...=/=1.

Earth is flat.


Or anything else where someone bases there view on some topic on giant misconceptions.

>>8862683
>.999...=1
True by definition.

>>8862803
Oh you did NOT just deny .999... = 1 nigger

>>8862809
>.999... = 1
By the definition of the real numbers this is true.

>>8862794
It's the best conspiracy theory

>>8862818
Man that's some dark souls shit. I almost respect it.

>>8862755
Lol no I'm just autistic and wanted to extend the "flat is Earth" joke as far as I could.

>>8862636
pi is infinite.

>>8862649

Sounds like you have IQ below 100

>>8862636
That negative numbers exist.

>>8864355
Are you claiming that positive numbers exist?

>>8864176
the worst is when they say that every sequence can be found in pi because it's supposedly infinite

>>8862636
Your post

>>8864355
they're just the additive inverses of the natural numbers.
whats wrong with that?

>>8862636
Mountains are big tree fossils.

I keked at this, but then

>>8862684

IQ is not real, race is not real, gender is a spectrum and your bait image.

IQ is meaningless

IQ can be improved with practice

Global warming

>>8865286
This, also:

Climate change is manmade
Climate change is real
Flat earth is impossible
Evolution saying that we all came from black people

>>8865286
Well of course IQ is real, dummy. It doesn't mean that brainlets still can't have strokes of genius.

See Nabakov and Salinger, who had IQs of 112 and 107, respectively.

>>8865305
It's called climate now that global warming was debunked.

So during highschool I went on a Duke of Ed camp with the small group of 8 or so others that still did it. So after the day of sailing we all walked into the town near by to get some icecream more of less for a thing to do. It was about 8:30 i think, point is it was dark and the moon was out. It was a half moon, with clear skies so it was decently bright. So as we were walking we got on to the topic of the moon as it was very visible, and as it was a half moon, moon cycles. Being year 9 and no one being an expert on celestial bodies it was a pretty half-hearted "yea i guess that's it" kinda discussion, until this one girl spoke up. And holy fuck was it stupid. Quoting from what i remember "If half the moon is there (pointing to the moon), then is that the other half?" as she points to the glow of flood lights from what i assumed was a port or cargo yard. Till this day i have never heard anything more stupid, even on here.

Science and "Math"

she's probably an easy lay

>>8865331
No it's called climate change because the term global warming was confusing people. The entire Earth is getting warmer but that causes more mixing in the atmosphere so in some places it actually gets colder (the short term).

anything that involves the word "gender"

Every time people suggest evolution is taking us somewhere, Im baffled they got past high school without properly understanding it, the worst part is that most of the time I see it being suggested its by people who recognize themselves as skeptics

>>8862636
college is stupid tho. Too much busy work and it costs too much just for an education which if you're taking into a higher field isn't even complete

>people still dont realize earth is in square time

The Earth is warming because some people drive cars and have factories and not because we are coming out of an Ice Age.

>>8862636
See now, you put things that are false in with things that are true. Don't you think that's a bit disingenuous?
