    Once had a middle school classmate declare there were more rains over mountains because rain make them grow faster. The geography teacher was not impressed.

      As a kid I was convinced trees create wind by moving their branches.

    Drugs are good.
    They make you do the things you know you not should.
    And when you take them your friends think you’re cool!

    Not directly relevant, but I’m surprised at how many people I’ve known over the years who think “correlation does not equal causation” means “correlation equals not causation”. In other words, they think correlation is somehow proof of a lack of causation. “Correlation does not necessarily mean causation” would be a better formulation of the original expression.

      The correct sentence is “correlation does not imply causation”

      to be fair that is completely due to a lack of understanding of what “equal” and “not equal” mean

        Logic classes should be one of the mandatory ones.

    It’s important to take the right drugs, if you want to get rich.

    • For example you should take marijuana edible and vapes. Don’t smoke the dried flowers directly.
    • You should take prescription painkillers. Avoid heroin and black market fentanyl.
    • Do not take Methamphetamine. Try cocaine instead.
    • Hallucinogens should help across the board

      Started out with genuinely good advice, though. Getting your THC from edibles and vapes are MUCH less bad for your health than inhaling smoke of any kind.

      Don’t do drugs

        The tips about opioids and stimulants are also valid if you want to reduce harm while doing those kinds of drugs.

        There’s a reason rich people prefer them.

        Edibles are better than vapes, too. It isn’t just water vapor and THC coming out of those things. I prefer tablets, though; when I eat a brownie, I’d rather it not taste like I just licked a lawnmower.

      what rich people take depends on their location, culture, politics and ideology. if you want to be a right wing american prick, try weed, ayahuasca and ketamine.

      My mom, who was very much a hippie, always told me “don’t do drugs, but if you do, do them with me so I can make sure you do them right.” Thanks for reminding me of her.

      Except datura. Try datura now, you can look up the effects once you’ve taken it.

        Oh man that was a week’s worth of talking to dead relatives with a mouth full of sand.

        4/10 would do again if there’s nothing else around.

    You’re putting the cart before the horse. Drugs cost money, rich people have money, and that’s why rich people do drugs.

    I do drugs and I have lots of money so yes.

      I did drugs and had very little money so no.

        That’s because you didn’t do enough drugs.

    humans are made of 50-60 % water, babies even up to 80%

    that means, basically, that water is made of 50 -60% humans, and up to 80% babies! and babies are also humans! meaning water is made of up to 140% humans!!!
