Some classics:

• lactic acid buildup makes your muscles hurt after a workout
• blood that's returning to the heart and lungs is blue, blood that's leaving your heart to go do it's thing is red
• sugar makes kids hyper

All three of those things have been thoroughly debunked, and are demonstrably false, and yet we teach them all the time. Sometimes it's even SCIENCE TEACHERS that are repeating these things, and sometimes it's right in the textbook!

An even better idea: make your OWN list! Don't expect someone else to tell you the truth if you're not working to search for it yourself!

This was heartbreaking to watch! I mean she's already an Olympic champion twice-over, and she's been hurt this year--she'll have some more chances. But it was just so shocking! I felt so bad for her watching her try to control her emotions at the end there.

The kind of writing they do is it try to explain in English why their incorrect answers doing actually work. It's a really great way to get them thinking, and to get me some insight into how they understand the concepts.

But also kids just need to practice writing! It's a superpower! And it's an important part of gathering info and explaining it to yourself!

It may not be intentional, not plenty of women feel harmed, belittled, and ignored by the use of language like that. So we should stop using it. It doesn't add anything, and it does, in fact, harm people.

And for the record, it's not the meme, it's the title of the post. I just think that making the explicit or implied assumption that you're talking to a bunch of dudes whenever you post online is just not helpful, that's all.

I teach kids how to do physics, and how to write about doing physics.

I mean we're not all fellas. No need to refer to a specific gender, right?

Avoiding casual misogyny is also important. You should avoid using gendered language like that when there's really no need.

"Fellas"? Do you not want any input from non-fellas?

This binary system, T. Coronae Borealis, is 2500 light years away. That means the event we're about to witness actually occurred 2500 years ago, and the light that it emitted is just about to reach our solar system.

Unitarian-Universalists don't have a problem at all with masturbation, and they encourage you to explore and accept your body. That sounds pretty masturbation positive to me!

You can eventually start camping solo, but you're going to have a much harder time learning how to do it if you're alone. The idea is to go calling with people until you're well-versed enough to go out alone.
