"That people really believe that you eat 7 spiders a year in your sleep. The story was an experiment from National Geographic on how quick misinformation can travel."

"That carrots make your eyesight better.

This was started by the British air ministry during WW2 so that the Germans didn’t realize that the British discovered radar.

The Brit’s said that they fed there pilots a large amount of carrots to give them exceptional vision."

 

"You can tip a sleeping cow."

"Blood is blue before it touches oxygen."

 

"Being loyal to your company. It is better to get good numbers and move up in another company a few years later. Staying at the same company can be quite appealing, but the problem is the company doesn’t want to pay you. They want to pay a rockstar from another company.

Moving out is the only way to move up sometimes."

 

"The customer is always right.

People always neglect the second part of that phrase… “in matters of taste”

Basically sell what customers want to buy."

 

"Widening highways will ease traffic congestion."

 

"Go to a casino and you’ll hear people talk about being due to win or a number is due to hit. It’s not."

 

"That alkaline water does anything special… It doesn’t. Alkaline water does not neutralize your stomach or treat any conditions, it doesn’t balance your gut biome or boost your immune system or anything like that. At most, it raises the pH of your stomach contents by half a point (which is essentially nothing) for like 30 minutes."

 

"“I don’t need 8 hours of sleep.”Yes, yes, you do. 

Just because you can wake up and function normally does not mean you have super genes. You’re still sleep deprived, just not in an obvious manner."

 

"We are alone in the cosmos."

#13 different people require different amounts of sleep, its not a fixed number. Some need more than 8 hours, some less. And that amount changes over time as you age.

#12 Ironically, asshats like Gwyneth Paltrow tell them to add a lemon slice to the water, which just cancels out the alkalinity with it's citric acid. Morons.

That essential oils are in any way necessary. The "essential" comes from the extract or "essence" of the flowers or whatever they're made with.

Also, dietary supplements are only regulated by the FDA as a food, not a drug, so be wary of what the marketers tell you they can do.

Bottom line- Don't fall for the hype and do your own research..

#13 Until recently in history (before electricity), many people split their night's sleep into two parts. They went to bed when it got dark, slept for four hours or so and then were up for a few hours doing things like reading or having a snack. Then they'd go back to sleep until sunrise.

#10 Nope, that's wrong. And logically asinine. Roads, trains, airplanes, whatever are more congested when you have more people using them. Delays will then happen.
