I’m not cogniting nothing. That’s my choice, my right.
MarcoPolaris
I'm not doubting the study, but I suspect the reply poster is a Poe.
OhNoNotThatGuyQuickEverybodyHide
Definitely an absence of empathy.
houtaku
I mean, if it weren’t for the whole ‘deaths’ thing I’d be glad that I can spot the idiots so easily now.
SoundBites
So, stupid people are stupid. Got it.

That's a big oof chief. Big oof.

Really didn't need to conduct a study for that

Remember the blood plague in WoW and how the cdc decided to use it as a simulation for an irl pandemic? This is the irl version. ??

I still got the original Faxmonkey video about it. Got it on a LAN. This was before Youtube existed. WE WANT YOUR SOUL.

What more could you ask of a meme community? Now fly my pretty. Take my OC and fly, fly away!

Omfg. Where did you get that Spy Family emote. Also LOVE that manga.

Are you sure?

Damn sure!

Heh. See whatcha did there.

Not really! Just a hypothesis.

Ah yes, the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Nice save!

I could kinda see how anti-vaxers could get their ideas. Vaccines are kinda confusing, abstract, and have a lot of scary sounding words(1/2)
StonesOnTheHill
Among their ingredients if you don't think very hard about it. But masks are just so straight forward.(2/2)
DreamingOfDistantShores
That's what Big Mask wants you to think. They infuse every mask with chemtrails to control you more easily.
FlatPlutoSociety
1) And although it's not true, I can see how people would get to "vaccines are just an excuse for big pharma to make money" because pharma
FlatPlutoSociety
2) companies really are greedy, exploitative monsters. But what possible nefarious purpose could a face mask conspiracy serve?
abandandana
The study talks about "Working memory capacity", the article just generalized. https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/07/09/2008868117
abandandana
but it seems, the articel corrected itself as well - the headline is not the one from the screenshot anymore.
DoctorYueh
Working Memory is highly correlated (some view as synonymous) with general cognitive function (g). I would not say this is an overstep.
abandandana
Isn't cognitive function a much broader term? As far as I understood it, it's not reduced to memory alone. But i might be wrong.
DoctorYueh
"working memory" is actually far broader than short or long-term memory. This is your ability to hold multiple pieces of information,
DoctorYueh
process and manipulate them. Working memory drives decision making, behavior, and reasoning. So, working memory is like your brain's RAM
DoctorYueh
in a computer analogy.

I love how we had to have a study to verify the obvious. At least it's documented now lol
TheWheelWeavesAsTheWheelWills
I hear the "well I knew that" bit with lines like these. The difference is that now empirical data supports what we took as common sense.
PieAndPunch
I was wearing it in March and everyone was looking at me like I was a dumbass. Well whoos the dumbass now!
ArcaneConjecture
It's not obvious. I thought many anti-maskers were deep anti-Government Libertarian political philosophers, lol.
PedanticGonkDroid
Like the "hungry people are more irritable" study. Glad someone did an actual study on it, but I could've told you the result.
Umbreon07
While the result is obvious, the why is not. Studies like that are to gather a data foundation for future studies or practical application.
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
Then you have people who won't believe new information. Roommate firmly believes cloth masks only protect from dirt and dust.
alaest0r
Educate them on how droplets work; there are some good videos on youtube...
JimmiRustler
Dad tried to tell me masks make you "breath in your own toxins" guess all those surgeons and doctors and nurses are gonna drop dead
JimmiRustler
He didn't have a comeback to that either. He just ignored it.
dcchillin46
All my coworkers are the same. "The box says it doesn't stop covid!!"
HotelFourSix
It doesn't stop you from getting COVID. It stops YOU from spreading your COVID to others. And if everyone wears one, then you are all safer.
ElvisCatStello
Yeah, well ded
ElvisCatStello
we*
AxelBeingCivil
This mentions social distancing, not masks, which the data suggest actually will stop you from getting COVID.
fredh67
I see the ellipses at the end; maybe there's more. Too bad I can't use it when discussing the topic, because OP didn't give a source.
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
The reply comment mentions masks, hence where my comment came in
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
I'm tired of all this mask shit. Did Lance Armstrong wear a mask when he walked on the moon? No! Did FDR wear a mask when he stormed the...

Toga, toga toga!
ginevra
You made me smile. Thank you :)
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
Knowing that I've made you smile, made me smile! And I bet your smiling again now, which makes me smile...it's never-ending!!! We're stuck!
ginevra
Oh noes. But if I keep smiling I’ll start to look like that lady from the Black Hole Sun video! Then again being creepy might be ok...
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
Nothing wrong with smiling all the time, unless you are a funeral director.
ginevra
Ok, but what if the funeral director is /also/ the Cheshire Cat? I mean, I know the odds of that are low, but still...
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
...beaches on D-Day? No! Did Batman wear a mask? No! Did they make me wear a mask in Vietnam? No! The day somebody makes me wear a mask is..
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
...the day somebody gets shot. I carry a gun for freedom, I don't wear a mask for freedom. Think about that word for a minute, freedom...
honk7
Fuck Yeah, you're right, son!
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
I'd die for that flag, and I'd die for that big Chicken. If it's wrong to love America, I don't want to be right!
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
...it's got seven letters, how many letters does mask have, only four! Did I wear a mask when I voted for Trump? No! Did I wear a mask...
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
...when I robbed that bank? Well, yes, yes I did. Mask was the name of a TV show when I was a kid, it super cool, but I wasn't allowed to...
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
...buy the toys as my parents said I'd already got plenty of other toys. I never forgave them and now I make them wear masks.

What hurts me the most is the fact that I cannot for sure tell if this is parody or not
TheGypsyKingg
I'll spoil the fun. It's a very well done parody of a "rickyism" as trailer park boys fans call them.
GirthBrookss
It's from a tv show.
Anonaru
I figured it's parody, but damn if it doesn't have that "The Onion" effect, shit becomes more believable by the minute

I've owned 2 1970's Corollas in my life. Back in the 80's (I'm old). They were great cars. This post is funny, though.
dohcohv
I liked Toyota, until the 2000's when they gave up all sporting pretensions. Now they just contract out fun to other companies.
GirthBrookss
I think the fact that ricky thinks toyotas suck is probably a good sign that they don't lol. Remember what his car looks like?
cfbshank36
Ooo that was a nice generation! I always thought early ‘70s Corollas looked pretty neat
sunyudai
My first car was a 98 Camry, bought it for $4,800 w/ 74 K miles on it. Drove it to the lot and sold it 10 years later with 298K miles.
cfbshank36
Got a 1990 Camry right now that leaks oil like the exxon valdez and has a number of other issues but she just keeps on going lol
SoundBites
I've owned 5 Toyotas, I put over 250K on each. The current rig is a 2000 4Runner SR5 4WD with 260K. I've owned it since new. Sits a lot now.
SoundBites
It's totally driveable, but I ride my bike more than drive.
TheGypsyKingg
That's awesome. I have nothing against Toyota's personally, just like the meme.
sunyudai
I'm on my third right now, a 2014 Prius 4. 2nd one I sold to a friend-in-need when it had ~150k miles, it got t-boned by some drunk...
sunyudai
college girls who claimed that they had a turn arrow (that light didn't have a turn arrow on it) at about 200k.
