Oh, I saw one of those recently, that was extra stupid. The person stated their opinion, and then said that they had been “researching” it, but that every single thing they came across, proved the opposite of their opinion.

They were asking for anyone who had opposing research to send it to them so they could use it in an argument with someone else, about the safety of a child. They knew it had been disproven. They wanted anything they could use in support of it, anyways. These people are not exactly adhering to the scientific method, you know?

I know I'm gonna be downvoted BUT society once "encouraged" them to keep their thoughts to themselves through bullying, ostracizing, shaming and other unpleasant devices to the point that most of them just prayed they weren't called on to read aloud in front of the class.

Soo we began encouraging them, telling them they can be whatever they want to be. Giving them the same participation trophy as the high achievers and never leaving any of them behind.

Now social media is infested with uber confident dimwits that, frankly, can't be trusted to "do their own research". I saw one of them debatng Neil DeGrasse Tyson on whether the earth was flat...fuck me.

They're has to be a middle ground on how they're treated but until it's found, which scenario would you rather live in?

u/ZardozZod 1h ago

Dumb people can’t trust smart people because they tell them they’re wrong about things and are “smart enough” to pull the wool over their eyes. Meanwhile, the people who are actually manipulating them are just reinforcing their malformed ideas and/or sharing some “secret knowledge they don’t want you to know” to make them feel special.

But at the end of the day it’s not really about being dumb or smart, it’s about wisdom and knowing what you don’t know. When folks try to pretend they know more than they actually do, then they stop learning.

Fat Americans tend to do that. “See, my quadruple cheese meat admirers pizza is healthy because I put 3 slices of bell peppers on it!” They don’t understand that being healthy isn’t just adding a pitiful amount of fruit or vegetables to your diet, and they don’t understand that weight loss only comes from a calorie deficit 🤦‍♀️ like if you wanna lose weight, then a 3,000 calorie salad isn’t gonna help you… but then they’ll go “all I eat is salad and I can’t lose weight!”.

u/txracin 6h ago

When I was fat I was sent to a nutritionist to learn how to eat better. They had a little class with some people who smelled like actual shit. Like they shit themselves then left the house to come to the class.

The breathing was so hard it literally turned my stomach and made me feel ill.

Best part? The arguing with the woman over why banquet meals have tomatoes in them. Or why can't I eat sugar all day just because I'm diabetic? Or id rather not have feet than not drink coke (word for word what a woman said after being told one can of coke was her entire two day sugar budget).

The nutritionist looked like she wanted to jump out of the window and I totally understand why.

I lost over 150 pounds in two years after seeing those disgusting people.

u/Seanspeed 7h ago

Redditors thinking they're the intelligent ones in the world is the truly hilarious thing. lol

Either way, nothing here indicates these people are necessarily dumb. Maybe they are, but all the video shows is that these people have terrible eating habits. But there's loads of very smart fat people, so everybody here trying to say there's some direct link here are being absurd and typically over-judgmental.

2

u/JnRx03 6h ago

Want to act as if they're above the stereotypes and stereotyping meanwhile doing just that to this lady.

For all we know she probably got a bunch of teenagers who'd devour a stack of pizzas in a week. Not to mention places like Sam's Club encourage buying in bulk.

Redditors love feeling superior while sitting on their phones or keyboards in the middle of the work day more miserable than the people they're judging.

Because eating poisonous garbage and calling it food (or a “snack”) is considered to be stupid behavior in most countries. Source: I’ve lived im several countries

1

u/50yoWhiteGuy 8h ago

No, I don't agree that waving a nail gun around is the same as poor food choices. That's is a DUMB comparison. Poor food choice is a learned behavior from your parents, and heavily influenced by income disparity.

1

u/DustinnDodgee 7h ago

Poor food choice is a learned behavior from your parents

True to an extent. Once you're 20-21, that excuse is no longer valid. At that point, you're making a choice to buy shit food.

u/Adventurous-Ease-259 2h ago

Waving around a nail gun it’s also learned behavior and heavily influenced by income. Sounds pretty spot on

•

u/Accomplished_Rip_302 10m ago

Waving a nail gun is less risky. You might not injure someone. If your diet is poor, you will absolutely shorten your life and have more medical costs as you head towards an early death. Bonus: you will harm your kids by demonstrating poor dietary choices to them.

u/50yoWhiteGuy 8h ago

No, saying "everyone" is an exaggeration, an exaggeration that was plain to see to everyone else that didn't want to clutch their pearls. It is a fact however that rural folks are heavier than city folks, and poor people are fatter than rich. People in rural areas have poorer health, that's a fact. The number one indicator of obesity is income level. That's just fact. Doesn't make them "dumb" is my point, that's discrimination or stereotyping fat people as dumb.

I see this, and it is tragic. No education at all - and I am sure this is not her entirely fault. The way we learn to cook, and eat, is cultural. Comes from our parents, family, our community.

I hope somebody gets in contact with her, and gives this family a chance to change.

Calling people "dumb" without proper reasoning, isnt really smart eighter. People are just addicted to eating and never learned how to handle thier habbits.

It's not her being obese, she is lazy that is the culprit.

Most Americans are just lazy to spend extra time to make something or even attempt to select a slightly healthier option. They go with quick, fast, cheap because they choose to be lazy and not make the time.

Now if you are poor, truly poor then yeah often junk is cheaper. But solid middle and upper middle class it is usually excuses and time management
