In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of misinformation and misconceptions. Someone recently asked, “what lie do people need to stop believing” and here are the top 22 answers.

“Press 2 if you want to hear the logic about how our call volumes are always higher than normal, even though mathematically that is impossible.”

Tear Here To Open (On Packaging)
“I was 38 before I finally decided to ignore this. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me 15,576 times, shame on me.”
“That’s because everyone thinks it says tear, as in rip. You’re actually supposed to cry a tear onto it as an offering to the packaging gods before you try opening it.”

“True. A lot of those “don’t touch wildlife” myths came from getting diseases from wild animals; they were started to stop children from touching potentially diseased animals.”
MLMs Are A Good Source Of Income
“It’s honestly mind-boggling that people still fall for these. I know lower-income households are more desperate, but anyone with access to the internet should realize that they’re all scams.”

“Yes. Those first hours are the most critical in the search for a missing person.”

“It’s a bad-faith argument to assume the person has actually read and affirmatively consented to the T&Cs, never mind that they don’t even have the option to not to.”
You Eat Eight Spiders In Your Sleep Over The Course Of A Lifetime
“Wasn’t it a lie spread purposely to see how far lies spread because they’re so easily believed? Its origin is someone saying; this is a lie, I told it, and now it’s everywhere, but it’s absolutely not true at all.”
“Those are rookie numbers. I eat eight before lunchtime.”
I’ll Stop Doing That Tomorrow

“Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.”
