Exactly. The problem is not that the lie was convincing - the problem is that so many people wanted to believe the lie

• More social interaction opportunities
• Can go for a drink without having to think about it
• Don't have to work for the benefit of the automotive and oil industries

Rotate it 90 degrees to the right

It's good to look at the original study, but what that tells me is that for the effect to emerge as significant despite the lack of participants, it was quite possibly even larger than the researchers estimated in their power analysis

This is such a common sneer, but it's naive and misguided. In the hope a few people see this, consider a thought experiment: how many students would you have to push off a cliff to get solid evidence that pushing people off a cliff is harmful? The point being that when a phenomenon is powerful, it's quite possible to study it even with small and selective samples.

I know that's a solution, but as a solution to bad design it's a little bit "Just wear a rubber glove to stop your oven electrocuting you". Yeah sure, but maybe design it better?

A really large number of them are references - possibly dated references - to other things. Sometimes cultural phenomena (the movie Ishtar, which was before my time and I'm really old) but often scientific or other phenomena. In one of his books he mentioned a biology teacher who pinned a load of his comics to the wall and, week by week, the students would go "Ah, now I get that one" as they learned something about chimpanzee communication, eye spots, or whatever.

Of course, some are just whimsy. And others are warning us about those sneaky sneaky cows...

Which companies are those? Coca Cola, who make your drinks that you drink? Ford, who make the car you drive? One of the oil companies who fuels your car? A company that makes the clothes you wear?

It all comes down to consumers in the end - we are the end point of the chain and these mythical 100 companies exist for us. Stop ducking the issue.

I've never encountered this, which makes me realise I've been running Firefox beta for ages (with zero issues). Perhaps try that just in case it helps?

Another factor to add to these answers: if the water has been treated (if it's mains water), then a not inconsiderable amount of electricity (and so carbon emissions) will have been used to treat it, and probably quite a lot more electricity will have been used to pump it around the country. So using water is also burning energy
