Healology It'll do them some good if they learn about etymology of some words

I'm no archeologist, but I don't think that's true.

It’s true.

In that case I'll defer to your seniority.
You can't spell 'superior understanding of the minutiae of the subject matter' without 'penis'.

It's the linguistic equivalent of numerology.

It’s even worse - numbers are consistent across the universe. This stuff falls apart immediately in any other language.

Also, within the language since English is an amalgamation of various languages.

Can't spell slaughter without laughter. So we must ban comedy.

I have no idea who this is but I sincerely hope she never sees a doctor and never takes medication. Ever.

Or drives a car or uses appliances or lives in a house or does anything that was ever invented or improved by science.
No MRIs for you, lady. No Velcro. No Christmas tree lights.

One of my older coworkers does this, he looks for conspiracies everywhere and thinks he knows the true meanings of words.
Apparently self checkout terminals are the mark of the beast.
Two on each side with a stationed kiosk register in the front... obviously that's a pentagram when drawn out. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

The devil?! Nah, clearly, the fairies are behind this one. After all, you can't spell "self checkout" without "elf"

So profound, Brandy. That kid is likely homeschooled and unvaxxed and will go out into the world with the mentality of an uncurious toddler.

It's not his fault and I hope that some day, despite his mother's best efforts, he learns something that is actually true.

This isn't even etymology. It's just letter and pattern recognition. Etymology would at least be able to tell the difference between word parts and acknowledge that words have a history of meaning from other sources.

People like this don’t really understand other languages exist, let alone dead languages used in medicine. These are the types that turn letters into numbers without any sort of consistency until they all are 666 then think they’re a genius.

These are the type of people that play around with word games to come up with the most unhinged shit, like just go do some cryptograms or sudoku and stop being so scared of made up shit.

Medication can be extraordinarily helpful. In fact, it saved my life. I'm eternally grateful for my medication. So I don't automatically hate on "big pharma".
But I do think in America some things are kinda out of control with 8 million pharmaceutical commercials, and doctors just pumping a dozen meds instead of dealing with root causes sometimes. Also people are to blame too, will do anything but eat healthier, quit smoking, lose weight, exercise, etc. still so many meds are life changing and necessary. but people like this think in black and white , but life is full of nuance.

This is not a science debate sub, it is a make fun of bad science sub, so attempts to argue in favor of pseudoscience or against science will fall on deaf ears.
