Another list of "Factrepublic" bullshit. Probably half of these are false or just complete lies.

Yeah just look at the trail of tears.

A: We didn't just discover native Americans at that time, and B: no blowing up was involved. The wording matters.

Where the hell did they lose the dog so that it had to do that crazy journey.

A block from their house. It was not a smart dog.

How many times has this EXACT POST been copied?
CaptainCupcake69
Too many times, this site is filled with reposts by the same people. It's starting to get really boring.
ACupOfMilk
It's almost stooping to ifunny's level
CaptainCupcake69
True that. Oh well, still better than reddits bullshit.

Actually, McCambridge was pissed her name was left out of the credits. She sued the director and production company, and her name was added.
ameranthe
Friedkin claims she told him to leave her name off the credits, but she denied ever doing so.
Zenzium
I wonder if any of these are true.
TheTimeless
Every single time I look one of these up, it turns out it is actually true, but very misleading in the way it is worded here for the dumps.

“If you consume 10+ drinks per day, you almost certainly have a drinking problem.” Lol.
tomkaz1982
So either you don't drink, you drink once a week or you have more than 10 drinks a day according to that "fact". No in between.
SlideTackle
Nah, they’re including the 30% who don’t drink in the 60% number.
PangolinBan
It’s missing “on average” for the two categories that do drink. Otherwise correct.
boognish115
How do these “fact” memes keep getting upvoted? And after everything going on with fake news even??
dijital101
It's only fake news if you don't like what it says.

Fuck Nestle
RedLetterMediaReactionGifs
Now I know to blame the Swiss.
HillOfBeans
No, just avoid Nestle. The whole point is their global takeover of water.
RedLetterMediaReactionGifs
I do, but I will also blame the Swiss.

I agree... Not knowlingly used Nestle products for over 20years http://www.babymilkaction.org/

I remember watching a documentary on the Parkinson's smelling woman. Her husband died from the disease. :(

I'm to lazy to move my mouse up to the google search bar above my screen so if you would tell me the name or reply to remind me to search it

#48 Katherine Johnsons was a computer at NASA at the time. NASA was also 1 of few US organizations which used diversity to achieve success.
whydotheycometometodie
Before Gemini, NASA only launched computers in unmanned spaceflight. Apollo was the first to have computing in all mission phases.
pandro
From Katherine's pictures she could nearly pass for white. Discrimination hits a lot harder the darker one's skin is. :-( Bless her, tho.
whydotheycometometodie
It wasn't perfect, but it worked. It didn't matter your background or if you were non-human. If you could contrivute, you were in.
savagewillie
I love these. The Chinese mountaineer story begs to be made into a movie
superatheist
So does the Han dynasty one. No doubt Matt Damon will be cast as the sherrif

I wanna see the wacky romantic comedy about the prostitute and the Parisian prisoner starting a new life in the new world
MightyNerdyCrafty
The catering and cookbook ought be amazing!
nimrodd000
I was thinking the avacado one needed a movie. You could call it "Avacadon't Tread On Me" or something.
IAmTheLastOne
I was just thinking, I would totally watch that. As long as they didn’t cast some white dude to play the mountaineer.
vagimite
Just don't let Clint Eastwood near it.
CaldariBob
No, no... I can see it now! Eastwood directs and Zac Efron stars!

#4 needs their fucking math checked
LateNightBunnyParty
I'm part of that alleged 30%, but it seems like everyone I know besides me and my husband drink at least occasionally.
Qualtagh
Sounds like they could be counting children.
LateNightBunnyParty
Ah. I wonder what the percentage is among adults.
Kronzor
Yeah there's a huge gap between the 60% that have 1 drink a week, and the top 10%. I have more than 1 but less than 73, where do I fit?
PangolinBan
You’re in the 60%, presumably. Those statistics are missing “on average” for the two drinking categories. Pretty sure that unless you 1/2
PangolinBan
2/2 have at least 50 drinks every week on average you’re not in that top 10%.
SpaceballsTheComment
I'll give them the benefit of a doubt, until someone confirms they have 2-73 drinks a week.
imgurusername6
Confirmed: I drink between 2 and 73 drinks a week. I'm currently at 2 for the week.
SpaceballsTheComment
Fair enough.
DEFCONwhite
I usually go through 2 boxes that are that I believe fill 35 "normal" wine glasses but I use a normal cup. Lol.
SpaceballsTheComment
Ok. You made me google "wine in a box". I just died a little.
DEFCONwhite
Lol. Sorry.
SlideTackle
They mean 60% of people (including the 30% who don’t drink) have 0-1 drinks per week. So 30% of people have between 2-73 per week.

If you haven't yet, please go up and insert your source link in higher comments. Article makes so much more sense than post claim. Thx!
PangolinBan
That’s not what that article says (good, since otherwise 10% of American adults have more than 73 drinks every week). 30% don’t drink. 1/2
PangolinBan
2/2 The 10% of drinkers that drink the most average 73 drinks per week. The remaining 60% American adults average 1 drink per week.
SlideTackle
The important part that I was trying to express is that “60%” quoted in the graphic includes the same 30% non-drinker demographic quoted.

PangolinBan
Apologies, apparently I’m dumb and sleep deprived today.
rhmeclipse
Well at least I’m top 10% at something..
PugPugPugPug
My thought exactly. Cheers!
SnarkyScience
It’s also worth noting that these studies habitually underestimate drinking. People fail to report cultural vices (sex, drugs, etc).
CanUweldOil
My thoughts exactly I literally work with a shop filled of alcoholics.

I am INCREDIBLY skeptical about this claim. Someone has some major flaws in their math
Drunkfu
Hells yah
Thekindofkindlyman
1%ers. Assemble!!!!
turdfergy
I like how you either have zero drinks, one drink, or 74 drinks a week. And the percentages cover the entire population....
k1dicarus1
But it's a fact dump on Imgur. It's 100% authentic.
DevonGronka
I am INCREDIBLY skeptical about this claim. Someone has some major flaws in their math
SoHungryICouldEatAtArbys
74 drinks a week! That's 10.57 drinks a day! Those are rookie numbers!
atleastIwasnt36
I have that many before I even go to work in the morning
SnarkyScience
Actually, if you drink 2 drinks your probably in the top 30%. Also, you’re more likely to be friends with similar drinking habits.
Arthemax
It doesn't, the bottom 30% who never drink are included in the 60% who drink less than 1 drink a week.
Arthemax
So it says little about the 30% who drink 1 or more drinks per week.
lcharsittles
It's worded to be shocking, but the top ten percent are those that drink 2+ drinks a week. Apparently there are some outliers.
MexicanWarMachine
“Worded to be shocking” is being unnecessarily generous. As worded, it’s patently false, like half of these “fact” dumps usually are.
PancakeLegend
"Outliers" So I'm in the top 10% but there's still some guy drinking at about 20 drinks *a day* to balance out my weaksauce.
rigatony222
Nah we just have six a day and then pick it up to like 20 for two nights XD
sheblindedmewithscience
Yeah, I probably have 6 drinks a week. I feel like this is really normal? Beer after work/wine with dinner, etc.
mac12291
Same...there's no way that people like us are only 10% of the population.
sheblindedmewithscience
Right. And I don't drink anything like 70+ drinks a week. That's crazy! I don't think I should be put in that "alcoholic" category. Haha.
