    Wait, I don’t think you understand the gravity of what you’ve just suggested: autism caused Pluto.

      No, you got it wrong. Autism exists since like forever. It’s the diagnosis that caused Pluto.

        Doctors created Pluto as a distraction

      Look man when I was a kid Pluto was a planet. Therefore Pluto will always be a planet.

      This mental inflexibility on my part may be related to autism, but I will never admit it.

        Don’t worry I also find myself being stubborn for no reason.

        Pluto was created to be destroyed, and it’s destruction would make autistic people reveal themselves plainly.

        Look at it this way. Pluto didn’t change, we just changed the definition of a planet to exclude it from the cool kids club because if we included it we’d also have to at the very least invite Eris too, and nobody likes Eris (hence the Trojan War).

    The knowledge of Pluto causes autism, clearly it is an elder God cognitihazard.

      Are you suggesting there’s a common cause for pluto and autism?

      source
      • whotookkarl@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        No, the opposite; it’s a classic example showing that correlation doesn’t necessitate causation.

    The thing with jokes like these and Birds Aren’t Real and Russel’s Teapot and stuff is just that we don’t believe in them and the people that do believe in the vaccine cause autism BS is that they do fervently do.

      I don’t think I understand your point.

      • bstix@feddit.dk ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        He’s missing some punctuation, but the point is that the burden of proof ought to be on the people making the claim instead of as it commonly happens, that people state something wild and then spend their time arguing against the proofs against it. The secondary point is that people who do this are already blind to this, so they are basing their arguments on something that only they believe, and strongly believe without proof.

        It makes discussion futile, because the people believing in random stuff are asking for evidence against something untrue that is based on something untrue which is based on something untrue. It’s 2 or more steps away from logic.

        I don’t know if that made any more sense, so let’s make an allegory with math.

        Let’s say a person wrongly believes that 2=3. This belief is unknown for anyone besides themselves. Based on this, they conclude that 2x3=4 and state that openly. So a sane person would argue that 2x3=6. The first person then claimss that 6 is wrong, and the second person will attempt to prove it logically. It does not matter how much proof the sane person provides of the 6 because the first person does not understand that from their belief. The 2=3 belief is never discussed, only the 6.

    Thousands of people suddenly start staring into the night sky, exhaustively cataloging everything they see, and writing long journal entries arguing over whether a vague flickering dot is a planet or not.

    And you think Pluto caused Autism?

    source
    • 97xBang@feddit.online ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Some guys got so obsessed with reforming and polishing glass, that they used that to see the vague flickering dots even better.

      But also, have you seen the night sky without light and sound pollution? How can someone not just stare at that every night and memorize it?

    Is that why autistic people are trying to convince everyone that Pluto isn’t a planet?

    Ahh. Post hoc ergo proper hoc. I probably can’t pronounce it, but I sure recognize it when I see it! Its has got to be one of the most sophisticated ways to display ones ignorance.

    Another fun one they always seem to like to use is:
