The bottom one is hilarious, does that poster really think that people chug shaved ice syrup from the bottle right in the store? If someone buys weed killer, gets all the way home, and makes a poison snow cone, there's a lot more to be worried about than the layout of the special items aisle

But it's obviously wrong to display items in this manor. The items need to be displayed outside the manor, near the hedge maze.

Popcorn prices are artificially kept high by the feminist conspiracy in order to transfer money away from men. It's to get them used to the process in order to brainwash them into thinking it's normal once they inevitably are forced to play extortionate child support.

If radiation is bad because it's like nukes, but bananas are good because they're natural, but bananas are radioactive and are literally used as a unit of radiation, then what is the FDA meant to do?

e: Of course if you actually look at what the FDA says it only recommends eating a small amount of fish (max two meals per week) due to the mercury, and even then only from a small subset of low-mercury fish. But apparently what the FDA should have done is outright ban all fish, even though fish are natural.

Before we get another dozen posts of people saying whether or not they'd heard of cattle guards, it really doesn't matter because:

1) The first half of the facebook post is dedicated to explaining what a cattle guard is, so even the people mocking Obama for not knowing what they are don't actually expect people to have heard of them.

2) It didn't even happen in the first place because firing private ranch-hands is not Obama's job. It's actually kind of a clever image because, by making the "cattle guards" thing the ostensible point of the story, it's designed to try to get you to tacitly accept "Obama tried to fire 50000 private workers without even trying to understand the situation" as a completely plausible thing that happened if you only argue with it on the "there's no reason for most people to have heard of cattle guards" front and get derailed by that.

Sure, if you shorted, but the evidence for the conspiracy theory was that the price (supposedly) went up before 9/11, and as I understand it the selling half of shorting wouldn't cause a price increase, and by the time you need to buy 9/11 has already happened.
