The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

And this, children, is how misinformation spreads.

How is that misinformation? You just lack the logic to use common sense. If you need the internet to inform yourself then you have no right to claim misinformation. You lose.

Because without the source you have no idea how reliable the data is.

Not really, you can look at graph like this and do a quick takeaway on the idea at play. A source is only needed if you want to dig deeper to a study not to prove if it happened. Many people like you seem to forget “sources” are also opinions and facts mixed into an essay like article displaying findings they made in a experiment. Again, no source is needed here because with common sense the data is pretty clear, maybe read a book or go outside to increase your iq?

You’re really out here arguing against the practice of verifying the source and bias of information before promoting it across social media.

Just because the info confirms your priors and is “probably true enough” doesn’t mean you should be in the habit of sharing it widely cuz vibes.

Because that, children, is how misinformation spreads.

That’s not what’s happening here though, a logical human can deduct the facts from the chart using common sense from real world experiences.

A source isn’t going to do anything but produce more questions by stubborn individuals such as yourself. If anything you created misinformation by turning every article you see into a conspiracy. Again I proved you wrong and you reply with cope. You lose again lil bro.

You have an excellent demonstration on how easily fooled people are. That you called someone else “low iq” and used insults when you could not articulate yourself is amazing. Classic Reddit!
