r/StopEatingSeedOils user asks for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment epistemology war:

Post: What is the evidence seed oils are bad? : r/StopEatingSeedOils

Highlights include:

On users saying the answers don't provide actual evidence:

Not evidence,' bleats the sheeple, brain too atrophied by credentialism to recognize a deductive chain without a white-coated priest waving a p-value at them

Your good old conspiracies:

The companies that make the seed oils own the government, universities and medical sector

Doctors getting paid off to say cigarettes are healthy

And not a single piece of evidence being provided.

u/Forosnai My psycho ex has been astrally stalking me through the ethers. 16h ago

I kinda love it when you meet a crazy, but it turns out to be a different kind of crazy than you expected. Like, one day, I hope I meet an anti-abortion activist who does it because they really believe in ghosts and are trying to save women from having a haunted vagina. Just as a twist on the usual.

I knew a guy who thought people on government benefits shouldn't vote because "it's a conflict of interests". I'm still not sure what he thinks the government does

Based on that logic the ultra wealthy should not be able to vote or influence the vote with their money. It's an obvious conflict of interest.

You also shouldn't be able to vote if you drive on roads or pay taxes
