The Internet is Not Always Right

This is going to be a short one.  

We teach kids not to believe everything they read on the internet.  Yet:

- Yesterday, I saw full-grown adults posting pictures of their brooms standing up and an "explanation" of gravity and the earth's tilt "from NASA."  
- Two weeks ago, the "Facebook only shows me 25 people.  Copying and pasting this message will change their algorithm." thing started going around again.  Again, these were full-grown adults, who were posting that it really works because they were told to paste it.
- Adults proudly post their results on a quiz, which they took because they saw a post that said most people can't pass it.
- There are a myriad of people passing on things whose numbers could be easily checked, like the next palindrome day won't happen for 900 years, how many full moons will fall on a Monday, etc.  

The internet is a wonderful thing, but it shouldn't replace your brain.  

- There are no days in which gravity is different than other days. You can stand a broom up every day. NASA did not tell you otherwise.
- You cannot change an algorithm by copying and pasting. That's not how algorithms work.
- They completely make up the score that "most people" get on the quiz. You are not special for doing better than that.
- There will be a palindrome day on December 11 of next year.

If you don't want your kids to believe everything they read on the internet, you should stop believing everything you read on the internet.

It's not possible to get over 10/10.  They must be hoping 90's kids weren't taught math.
