Oh sweet summer child
Yeah we get it, we've all seen Game of Thrones, too. If you have to be a condescending dick, at least be original.
Uhm. GoT isn't exactly the first to use this expression...
Oh you sweet summer child
For his post is dark and full of errors.
Live love laugh
Was gonna say that π€£
It is the first quote that came to my mind, I don't even know if I see it often in real life but I do see it on the internet
Hard men create easy times.
Easy times create soft men.
Soft men create hard times.
Hard times create hard men.
More cheese => more holes.
More holes => less cheese.
Therefore: More cheese => Less cheese
"We only use x% of our brain."
Simply not true as shown since years by neurology
I've almost never heard anyone quote that, but I've heard numerous people arguing against that statement. So much that I'm wondering it it has mandela-affected people to think it's a more common misconception than it really is.
I do remember it being more common back when I was in high school, and also there was a movie which mentioned that which could have helped with that
I also havent heard it being said seriously for years though
Right, it was the plot for the movie Lucy, where the protagonist increased the brain capacity beyond 10% and upon reaching 100%, she turned into an USB drive. I remember that now.
Such a good movie with such bad writing...
This reminds me of the "you eat X amount of spiders in your sleep every year". It's also been debunked so many times and I see it popping up from time to time.
Even more ironic, this was created by some professor (?) to prove that starting fake viral facts was easy or something...
Oh, and X% of dust is dead skincells. There is a good Veritasium video on this clai.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Yeah maybe, but it also makes you stranger.
Especially virusses and bacteria: Your immune system gets a bit stronger but organs probably have small irreversable damages because there is scartissue where the infection was the worst.
I donβt see it anymore after leaving the hell that is Reddit, but I saw βPlay stupid games, win stupid prizesβ multiple times in every thread.
I mean I get that if used in a context where a person does something with great risk attached and with few and rare good possible outcomes (stupid games). And then they get a bad outcome (stupid prize).
For example Jackass-like stunts.
I am surprised no one yet has posted the infuriatingly worthless expression of affectless sympathy:
thoughts and prayers
Religious bs
Not see it. But I hear this one.
"it's always in the last place you look"
No shit Sherlock. Why would I keep looking after I found it?
I always thought that was the joke?
