More proof that smoking restricts blood flow to the brain. If any were needed.

The moon landing was faked.

NASA got Kubrick to direct, and being a perfectionist, he insisted they shoot on location.

Cause nothing screams “sound judgement” like a nicotine addiction.

I love when people are like “if you get a windfall of money you’ll probably go bankrupt. Look at the statistics from lottery winners, 70% of them end up broke.”

Ah yes, a subset of the population whose only common traits are that they gamble and make objectively terrible financial decisions. Obviously this group should be the benchmark for the financial literacy and money management of the general population.

No, winners aren’t all dumbasses. This post is smart and important to understand the whole thing.

True, though let’s not act as if the family and friends constantly asking for money or expectating it, old acquaintances suddenly claiming you abused/assaulted/scammed them knowing you’ll just settle out of court to get them to fuck off, haven’t happened even to fiscally responsible people as well.

There’s more than just bad financial literacy with some of them, as not all lottery winners are always broke gamblers. The majority are, but not all. So the fact that almost every single person loses it all in a couple years should indicate that it still has massive potential to make your life harder even if you know what you’re doing and don’t succumb to massive overspending.

I think I could actually lay low pretty easy. Everything I’d buy people know I’ve been saving up for for a while. And they all take time to get even if you have the money so it wouldn’t be all at once.

Plus my “dream [property/vehicle/hobby items/etc]” are all fairly atainable. Like theres a certain classic vehicle I want that usually goes for 20-30k just the configuration I want is a little difficult to find.

Well now I wonder if there’s a control for that in the studies. Would I make good or poor choices in the same situation?

I’d still roll the dice.

This is just like the tip cups that say “Star Trek” vs “Star Wars” or whatever. It’s not about the actual choices. It’s about getting people to put stuff in one or the other.

This question gets people to put their butts in the disposal, rather than on the ground.

Also, I don’t believe the moon landing was faked, but I would totally put my cigarette butt in that one. Get my butt vote, conspiracy nuts. Who cares.

The actual label is the least factor in where I put it.

(I don’t know why my brain feels the need to clarify this to strangers on the internet, but for the record, I don’t actually smoke)

Do more smokers think the moon landing is fake?

Do people who think the moon landing was fake smoke more?

Are people who think the moon landing is fake more likely to smoke?

Is “fake” just closer to the smokers?

Do people who believe the moonlanding is fake smoke more cigarets than others?

What if a couple chain smokers are responsible for all the no votes?
