I enjoyed reading this variant on Occam's Razor, updated for the internet age, which aligns with what you're saying around arguing with an internet meme.
Hitchen's Razor:
"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."
And it's difficult, if not impossible, to defeat a "meme"....

Marketing is the same . Doesn't require truth, just sales.

I agree with everything above, except it's actually 99.9% of germs!!!!!
Like I said, it was just a rant to get it off my chest and out of my head.

IMO, People are really dumbing down fast as they are younger down the age scale.
They have their brains in their hand."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
