Don't Spread Misinformation

While social media is a good way to keep up with friends and family, the amount of outside, unwanted, blatantly lying posts, and false stories, is astounding. Nearly everything is a lie. This is definitely on purpose. It's meant to make it nearly impossible to know what is true or false. It allows for the control of those who believe in the nonsense. Reality is being shaped by those who want control. Do a little research before you push the share button and spread more lies and hate.

The Truth About Posting Crap

Recently, I mentioned misinformation coming from conservative friends. Since then, I've noticed more coming from liberal friends. In both cases, it's reposting garbage that isn't true. Oh, I know you want it to be true. A portion of it might even be true! But, when it is based on or prefaced with misleading or inaccurate information, then it's crap. It undermines the truth. It's also why if your posts are mostly the reposting of others, I probably don't follow you. But great news! It's usually pretty easy to search if your post is true or false. But sadly, does anyone care about that anymore???

Stop Believing Crap You Read on Social Media!

I know I've said this before... but I keep seeing people fall for this garbage! So, almost all of these "heartwarming stories," the "facts" from the past, the "super politically correct stories," or the "facts" about immigrants or minorities, or white people, etc. is absolute madeup garbage to push someone's political agenda! It's so disheartening to see the same people not only repeatedly fall for this crap, but continue to share it and repost it. Wow! Have you ever thought about looking this stuff up on legitimate sources before sharing it? Because I do just that all the time! Do you really want to believe garbage that has half a grain of truth and then runs full tilt into make-believe lies and deceit? Are people really dumb enough to continuously be influenced by others who want us to ingest their crap as gospel? Wow! Most of this stuff tips my bullshit meter after a sentence or two, and people repost it again and again!!!

Prevent Truth Decay

"Truth Social?"

So, Trump's social media is going to be called "Truth Social?" I guess that sounds better than "Lying Sack of Shit Social." If you disagree, drink a cup of bleach, and rethink about January 6, 2021, and Trump's call to hang Pence for not breaking the law.

Don't Look for Facts on Social Media

Dumb Videos on Social Media

I keep seeing dumb crap like this, so I made one too. I was interested in the Kangal dog, because they were bred to take down a wolf. But then one of "these" videos popped up and compared the two by bite force, weight, speed, and bench press ability... Really? Dogs can bench press? That was when I knew I had to make a video.

Social Media & Madeup "Reality"

I have noticed a trend on social media, where an old picture is shown, and then there is a really cool story. But often, I question if that story is real. Also often, I can't find any other documentation from legitimate sources. Yet the comments are filled with messages from people who obviously believe this stuff. Social media may be cool in many ways, but it also seems to make people stupid.

Ignorance and Biased Posts

It's easy to blame the repeal of reproductive rights on men, or racism on Caucasians; but it's not that simple. In doing so, you become like the thing you say you despise. People are people regardless of gender or skin color. Some support your position and some don't. Those ideas are not exclusive to a particular gender or racial demographic. In fact, you may be alienating some of your supporters by perpetuating these ideas.
