scientists

Ah yes, the wonderful wandering minds of the Tumblr community pull through yet again with a ridiculous little thread about the wild superstitions that humans can end up being possessed by. We can all fall prey to carrying assumptions about people just because of the industry that they work in. Like, some folks might assume that scientists aren't as silly as the rest of us. Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. Check out some more Tumblr gems and sweet tweets to battle boredom over here. 

Sadly, you can reliably trust that the internet will vomit up harmful pseudoscience all over the place. Thankfully, some people out there who actually know what they're talking about are willing to explain the facts as understood by the real experts.

Sure, looking at people believe satire will make you lose your faith in humanity a bit, but it is pretty funny.
