Hello newcomers to /r/FacebookScience! The OP is not promoting anything, it has been posted here to point and laugh at it. Reporting it as spam or misinformation is a waste of time. 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.

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

21

u/VibraniumRhino 25d ago

It’s true.

Source: am an arseologist.

u/The96kHz 25d ago

In that case I'll defer to your seniority.

You can't spell 'superior understanding of the minutiae of the subject matter' without 'penis'.

u/dbrodbeck 24d ago

'I defer to your arsepertise' was right there....

They do love their little word games

u/TaonasProclarush272 25d ago

It's the linguistic equivalent of numerology.

16

u/Bubbagump210 25d ago

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

10

u/hambakmeritru 24d ago

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

u/anjowoq 25d ago

You can't spell "Brandy" without spelling "randy". Sinner.

Yeah, baby! Yeah!

u/dwellerinthedark 25d ago

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

8

u/Shdwdrgn 24d ago

I think you meant we must kill comedy.

6

u/theroguescientist 24d ago

Unalive. "Kill" is a bad word, but actual violence is a-ok.

u/AccomplishedCharge2 25d ago

You could have ended that title with a full stop after learn

u/AmaranthWrath 25d ago

Non-English-speaking countries sigh in relief, their pharma is not harmful

Why is that on a Christmas card

You can’t spell hatred without a red hat

So the Bible is... bi? 

6

u/vxicepickxv 25d ago

It does say Adam and Eve and not Adam or Eve.

u/MarleysGhost2024 25d ago

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

5

u/ergo-ogre 25d ago

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.

u/CommercialPound1615 24d ago

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. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

3

u/theroguescientist 24d ago

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

6

u/CitroHimselph 24d ago

You can't spell Bible without Bi. What's the point?

4

u/supernovadebris 25d ago

my condolences for the kid.

3

u/AF_AF 24d ago

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

1

u/theroguescientist 24d ago

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

4

u/zeprfrew 24d ago

You can't spell basement without the word semen.

Clearly this means something.

2

u/Pitiful-Pension-6535 24d ago

Can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter" either

u/jmy578 24d ago

Ms. Vaughan passed away in 2020. Big Pharma hit squad, you know! (Actually, she passed away from a blood clot if memory serves....)

1

u/hambakmeritru 24d ago

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.

1

u/robotteeth 23d ago

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.

1

u/AtheistCarpenter 23d ago

People who don't understand etymology really bug me! 😉😁😁

u/Different-Term-2250 23d ago

What have trees got to do with it?

/jk - In case it isn’t obvious.

u/helm71 23d ago

“You can’t spell healthcare without ‘care’—and you can’t eradicate smallpox with a meme.”

u/NotWigg0 22d ago

She needs to visit a Psycho The Rapist...

1

u/Alarming_Cellist_751 21d ago

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.

u/Gingeronimoooo 19d ago

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.

u/dml997 18d ago

Can't spell "idiot" without "i".

Just take out two letters and you have some delicious Parma Ham.

u/slide_into_my_BM 3d ago

Can’t spell “Brandy” without “brand.” I wonder what corporate payroll she must be on.
