If you're in a good mood, these depressing facts will probably make you feel as though a cloud has just passed over the sun, so proceed with caution...

The people of Tumblr know their weird history and are jazzed about letting other people know, hence this awesome tumblr thread about messed up history facts.

Whether it's a lie promoted from a government in wartime, or a company trying to to sell more product, there are some falsehoods people live with that are a direct result of very persuasive marketing. But hey, it's good to learn why we think the things we think. On a lighter note, here are fake facts people believed for WAY too long.
The world is a big amazing place filled with all types of people. Some of these people lack self awareness to a profound degree. Like it's actually amazing how bad some people are at thinking.And we love to hear about them. Here's some more dumb stuff people have said.
The world is a freaky place. Some events sound so extraordinary that they sound like a crackpot fever-dream that no one could possibly have thought to do in real life. You don't need to be Dale Gribble to believe these. These are 100% true facts (however fantastical they sound). On the other side, here are some completely unproven obscure conspiracies that people personally believe in.
President Trump was filmed saying that the noise from windmills causes cancer. The most cancerous thing going on here is the stupid in that statement. The quote from President Trump reads, "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75% in value. And they say the noise causes cancer." Let us all just sit and stew over that one, while Twitter has a field day with the unbelievable statement.

"They never told me that we're living on top!" @LoveMahalHappy tweeted the mind-blowing realization her sister had when she was keyed into the fact that we don't live on the inside of the planet. It's just a matter of time til the conspiracy theorists get to her.
In times of doubt, check the tapes. The internet is brimming with fake reviews, as well as wonderful responses from the companies themselves. What we haven't seen is someone give such a detailed, minute-by-minute account of the reviewer's visit. This is some very thorough destruction.
None of these "facts" are true. They're basically a fun exercise in how things can sound true if you make up some context and throw in some names and dates. They sure sound like they're real though. You may even find some stuff that you've been mistakenly telling people for years. We take no responsibility if you end up repeating these as the truth at a party. That's on you, doofus.
People say incredibly dumb crap all the time. We're just glad that sometimes there's someone to witness it. If someone is alone in the forest, and they say something dumb, are they still an idiot? Yes, absolutely. In fact that probably makes them more stupid. Here are some instances of wondrous ignorance to scoff at.
