Aryan Race and Caucasian Race being some of the bigger one is…concerning in 2024
Not sure ALL of these are pseudoscience.
Interesting that their list of articles characterized as pseudoscience doesn’t include the vaccine-autism correlation hoax, or related “vaccines do more harm than good” bullshit.
I always look at articles like this just to gather information. However, I dont believe in them. I think the data is great but people are under the impression that Page Views correlates with belief. Not necessarily true.
Nightmare blunt rotation in word cloud form.
And who exactly gets to classify what is or isn’t pseudoscience here? Definitely seeing a lot of things here that don’t really qualify IMO and lots of extremely common examples missing.
How the fuck is NoFap there?
The “Caucasian race” is a close approximation of the West Eurasian population cluster of modern humans.
Define pseudo-science and then we’ll talk.
That’s not beautiful data!!
It will take more than a variety of fonts and rotation angles to make a word cloud beautiful
I’d rather have people educate themselves about this bollocks on wikipedia than on twitter tbh. Nothing wrong with knowing about conspiracy bullshit and fake medicine, it’s wrong when you start to believe it
“Pseudoscience” is a bit harsh for some of these. Swallowing some honey to soothe a sore throat would be considered Naturopathy, for example.
