The Internet is an information highway, but it is also a misinformation highway. What weird misconceptions have you encountered in articles, social media posts and comment sections online?
#1
I have read several posts in which people implied that babies are made when the father’s sperm is incubated in the mother’s body, rather than the combination of egg and sperm. Basically, they seemed to believe that a child is genetically related to the father and not the mother.
#2
That cats are evil (They’re not!) well most of the time 😂
#3
that the earth is flat
#4
That the one persons experience (the person making the post) is everyone’s experience. Sometimes people don’t realize it care to realize that not everyone is like them.

The weirdest biggest misconception I heard was one a few years back. Someone on nbc said the Dutch are very good ice skaters. And that this was because ”ice skating is an important mode of transportation for people who live in Amsterdam.”
Besides the fact that Amsterdam is just 1 city in our country(people seem to think that the Netherlands is only Amsterdam). Our canals don’t freeze over that often. We don’t even have canals everywhere. And we own cars and bikes. We even have trains.. We only have snow and freezing cold 1 or 2 weeks in a year if we’re lucky.
