25 Of The Dumbest Things People Believe For Some Reason
The world is a mass of confusion and complications. Being as big as it indicates a high probability of a nuanced complexity affecting every aspect. While many search for answers via science, spirituality, astronomy and various other studies, some refute any logical reasoning for their extraordinary belief systems.
Recently folks online got to sharing the most obtuse beliefs some folks hold strong despite any evidence to the contrary. From governments replacing suns to using windmills to direct hurricanes, these unhinged concepts sound like they are straight out of a sci-fi movie, but folks believe in them nevertheless.
#1 That people think that cats can be vegan.
They’re carnivores! If you try to make a cat eat an all-veggie diet, they will starve. Their digestive tracts aren’t suited for it.
#2 That people willingly donate their life f*****g savings to churches who are obviously just stealing their money. Like small town churches that recieve absolutely no funding because the town has a pop of 45? Makes sense to need to take donations but those 10000 member plus mega churches are straight up grifters. I can’t see how people could do that.
#3 Aliens build it. Like the pyramids or the old temples or the Easter Island thing. Sure these all seem hard but jeez have some faith in your ancestors. They had the same brain! We are the same species! They probably had way more time back then to do these stuff too.
#4 That Conversion therapy can change an individual’s sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual.
#5 People who believe that covid wasn’t real. Funeral service workers including myself know how real it was having to build makeshift morgues for all the bodies we couldn’t get to cemeteries/crematories because they were so backed up. Healthcare workers too, obviously. It was an insane time and I could not believe the amount of people that believed it was fake.
#6 I was laughing with my sister today that some people believe democrats used off shore windmills to “aim” hurricane helene to hit the Republican counties. My sister admitted it was unlikely but that we do have the ability to affect the paths of hurricanes. She’s also anti-vaxx so I really should have known better.
#7 A guy told me this (flat earther). The last eclipse we had was a fake. Simply just a distraction so that the government could replace the sun to better control people. Not kidding.
#8 Holocaust deniers. Jewish Space Laser.
#9 That global warming isn’t real.
#10 I can’t wrap my head around the fact that some people believe that vaccines cause more harm than good. We have mountains of research showing how effective and safe they are, yet the misinformation still spreads like wildfire. It’s baffling how easily people can fall for such unfounded claims!
#11 People donating to televangelists.
#12 Moon landing deniers. Seriously. It’s the second most debunked conspiracy behind flat earth.
#13 That people actually believe birds aren’t real and that certain events in history were fake. The fact there are people out there that truely believe millions of people are paid “crisis actors” blows my mind.
#14 Scientology is basically someone’s s****y Sci-fi premise turned into a religion somehow.
#15 A coworker some year back had said that the people and kids involved in the school shootings were actors and not real people. Basically saying that it was all a hoax.
#16 I knew a woman who believed that there are high-end resorts on the moon that rich people are vacationing at. She was shocked and confused when I told her that I didn’t also believe this.
#17 People that unironically believe the Earth is flat.
#18 People earnestly believing that there’s a magic supernatural entity willing to endlessly torture you if you deviate from the weird rules “they” set up or don’t worship them enough. It’s all bollocks. It’s bollocks designed to control you. Step into the light of rationalism!
#19 Churches that allow venomous snakes to bite them to show their faith in the Lord… dude, no!!
NumbSurprise:
And then they refuse treatment is they’re bitten. Several of them die every year. Natural selection.
#20 Covid vaccinations had microchips or whatever used to track people. Unbelievable…
#21 People who bought toilet paper because of the port strike when 90% of toilet paper is made domestically in the US.
#22 Chemtrails from airplanes – The government or other parties are involved in a secret program to add toxic chemicals to the atmosphere via contrails from airplanes. Various different trainings are applied for chemtrail such as sterilization, lowering life expectancy, mind control or weather control.
#23 Astrology’s hold on people is baffling.
#24 People who think that 9/11 was fake. Like literally they believe the broadcast is edited.
#25 That Russian elections are not rigged.

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
