When I was in highschool I had to fill out a survey about my experiences with substances. I remember getting a laugh out of lying on the survey. Always take any self reported questionnaire results with a large grain of salt.
- Zamiel_Snawley 2y agoI too was a “daily cocaine user” in 6th grade… How many Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows? I’d wager almost every single person who answers in the affirmative really just thinks it’s the funnier answer.

- imoverclocked 2y agoYeah, according to certain studies, most of my 6th grade class has stinky cheese farts and did moderate to heavy cocaine use in the morning.
- BeFlatXIII 2y agoDo cocaine as the morning pick-me-up and then some heroin in the evening to help you sleep.
- mulmen 2y agoI'm convinced this is the source of flat earth conspiracies.
- anakaine 2y agoI suspect there are a vanishingly small number of individuals who believe flat earth, and the rest are just doing it for the lulz.
- galangalalgol 2y agoBut the earth is visibly not flat! Clearly we live in a Dyson sphere.
- bornfreddy 2y agoOf course it is flat! It's just the coordinate system that is curved. ;)
- lukan 2y agoThat is what you hope, but do you know how many people believed in the Q conspiracy? Chemtrails? Reptiloids? Bill Gates using the vaccination to control everyone through a microchip? It is the same ballpark. I wish those people pushing this, were doing it just for the lulz. But mostly they are serious.
- 1659447091 2y agoI'm convinced that chemtrails came from a stoner watching some variation of How planes fly / aeronautics at 3am and heard chemtrails in place of contrails and we are now forever stuck with it.
- ben_w 2y agoWhat I want to know is why Bill Gates got stuck with the microchip conspiracy theory when Elon Musk regularly has press conferences about the progress his team is making with actual brain microchips.
- lukan 2y agoThat is simple, because Bill Gates did talk about a microchip for people in an interview, but just an RFID chip, to keep track of the vaccinations. Also his foundation is doing vaccinations big scale. Even without foreign hostile agencies making disinformation, it is easy seeing crackpots mixing it all up.

- Mistletoe 2y agoThis is why nutrition research is extremely confusing and contradictory often. I worked in a nutrition department and the amount of post menopausal obese women in our knee studies that said they just ate a half cup of green beans that day is astounding. Now try to use data that flawed to make assumptions over a lifespan about human health. About the only studies I truly believe are the ones where people are at a facility and all food is provided to them and tracked.
- ianmcgowan 2y agoI lived in one of those food study centers after college. Most people there were pretty diligent about sticking to the program, but there was a big scandal when one guy was kicked out after discovering extensive cheating and several papers had to be retracted. We were allowed out - I had a full time job, but couldn't eat or drink any food not provided by the center (we took a radio-isotope tracer with food, and had to collect our poop). It was quite interesting :_)
- cperciva 2y agoMy favourite example of this is that the number of condoms used in the USA, according to surveys, is dramatically higher than the number of condoms sold in the USA.
- cratermoon 2y agoEw.
