Please stop sharing ridiculous things on Facebook. You know what I'm talking about.
"Vaccinated Children Five Times More Prone to Disease Than Unvaccinated Children!"
"Semen Is 'Good for Women's Health and Helps Fight Depression!"
"Facebook removes amputee photos!"
"People in Denmark are paid twice as much as Americans! America sucks!"
There's this little site called Snopes. There, you can look up story headlines before sharing so you don't look uninformed. It takes two seconds. Or better yet, JUST LOOK IT UP. Stop reflexively pressing that "Share" button. It's a trap for sharing hoaxes, scams, rumors, urban legends, embellished truths, and flat-out lies.
And as an aside, nobody needs to read bad news. Seriously, why would you share that?
Rant over. Coffee now.
