Circular Logic: The Scientific Breakthrough
Hold up... fertility is hereditary? If your parents didn't have kids, you won't either? *mind blown* That's like saying water is wet because it's made of water! The scientists' reactions say it all – pure existential confusion at this circular logic that somehow made it into a "scientific study." Next breakthrough: people who don't exist tend to have trouble filling out surveys!

Correlation Equals Causation: The Conspiracy Theorist's Handbook
The pandemic timeline according to conspiracy theorists! First, classes move online because of COVID. Then, mysteriously, "COVID engineers" graduate and enter the workforce. And suddenly—planes start falling out of the sky? Twice?! Because obviously, engineering education works better in person when you can physically touch the laws of aerodynamics. This perfectly captures how conspiracy minds connect completely unrelated events with imaginary causation. Remote learning → unqualified engineers → aviation disasters. Next they'll blame the microchips in vaccines for making pilots forget how to fly!

Radiation Doesn't Care About Your Opinion
Someone's confusing correlation with causation again. Holding a uranium-rich rock and subsequently feeling ill isn't a matter of personal opinion—it's just basic radiobiology. Next they'll be saying gravity is just a suggestion. The laws of physics don't require your agreement to function, much like how my experiments don't require my lab manager's approval to fail spectacularly.
