Things that people think are bad for you but actually aren't!

in #life6 years ago


1. Cracking your Nuckles!

It doesn't causes arthritis. It only causes tissue damage if done excessively. Otherwise, it's completely fine. 

2. MSG 

 It's simply not bad for you! at least no worse for you than standard table salt. The chemical name freaks people out. The headache thing is a nocebo. If people don’t think they’re consuming MSG even when they are, they don’t get a headache. 

3. Counting calories to lose weight!

 So many people equate it with “starving yourself” or think it’ll automatically result in an eating disorder. 

4. Nuclear Power

 It's actually very clean and safe, far more than competing power production methods. Even more important is that it's stable, which renewables are not.You need a stable power source to balance renewables, but everyone seems to think burning coal is fine. 

5. Being a nice person. 

Last but not the least,  So many people see being a nice person as showing weakness. That being too nice makes it easier to be taken advantage of, or that it makes you look weak. Despite this, if everyone was a lot nicer a lot more often we would all be much better off.

The @buildawhale notice is harrassment.

Anybody who makes such an announcement without specifying what the crime is, is commtting a crime.

Does this mean we should create a black list and add them to it?

(I see them in far too many posts, they think they have the right to make judgements without looking to learn what the truth is, so I suggest everyone ignore them and keep supporting the poster if you like their posts - I'm not a victim, so I am not doing this to benefit myself. It is just that I have taken the trouble to find out why they condemn the posters, and in a number of cases have found out tht it is because that poster makes the same posts on another platform, or else, has their own website - that is NOT plagiarism)
