It's quite hard to read; really bad grammar, but if you kind of just keep reading you get the gist of it, some are hilarious lol.
Like, study finds: people put more clothes on when it's cold.
Fat people are more likely to state their weight as lower than it actually is.
Smoking is unhealthy no matter where you smoke.
People who exercise lose more weight.

Lol, yeah you get the point, just read it and lol.

I didn't need a website to point that out to me.

LOL awesome. I sometimes browse through psychology news and I am just baffled by the amount of studies that analyze things that are obvious, pointless or plain common sense. Some also contain blatant logical errors, especially confusing correlation with causality seems to be highly popular with psychologists. So thanks for that funny read.

LOL I just read one in my dad's Australian Doctor magazine thing. It said, paraphrasing, "Kids who are easily distracted or who daydream a lot in school are more likely to end up with no job in later life and more likely to have mental problems".
No fucking shit Sherlock.

Is anybody else glad that we're not in 2008 anymore? I am, but at the same time I'm suspicious these dumb studies will not only continue, they'll become greater in number.

I'm not glad, it doesn't make a difference. Another year, another 10000 dumb studies.

Wanna troll any more?

Anti-troll...ouch.

Hmm, sometimes common sense is not a good thing. Then again, we don't need to be wasting money on wondering whether or not insulting someone can make someone not like you. There's a fine line between common misconception and common reality.
