What to Believe on the Internet

You do you. Believe what you want to believe. The internet is a strange place nowadays. Too much clickbait taking you this video where you don’t even know if it’s a fabricated production or if this news story is verified or not. Don’t even get me started on the various scientific studies going around. You can choose to avoid bacon because it causes cancer if you want. The studies don’t absolutely prove anything. If I get cancer from bacon, well shit, maybe that study was right, but I still love bacon and I won’t regret eating it even if I get cancer. Might as well suffer while eating something I enjoy.

Ok, back to the task at hand. There’s so much unbelievable stuff on the internet that it makes it quite difficult to take what you’re reading or watching seriously. Sure, there are verified sources like your local news network or like, ESPN or something that report some stuff to you that you will take seriously. Though on these networks, there’s always just one misreport that could tarnish their reputation for a day or two. Even if they’re a verified news source, I’d take everything with a grain of salt. Who knows how biased they are. Where do they lean towards? Are they LeBron or Curry fans? Do they like the Donald or do they feel the Bern (God, this sentence makes me want to fall asleep).

We all believe in different things. It helps us learn and grow. Just don’t try to push your beliefs on me. Don’t do it in a way that condescends me for believing differently. If I want to risk cancer by eating bacon, I should be able to do it without being put down for it. Been doing it for years. Wow, bacon and candy. Candied bacon? Sounds like two death sentences in one!
