Come now. I understand the reasoning behing this question. It is absorbed by the skin. It is actually much more of an intelligent thought than all of you making fun of the OP.
It's absorbed INTO our skin, not through it. Skin has multiple layers. However, I agree with you that bashing the OP is just as stupid as the original question.
No one was... Oh, hi Ramberta.

Coconut oil is called, "skinny drops". You will lose weight from eating it .
I found an article which you all should read because it says that when you EAT coconut oil you don't need to log the calories . This is because it isn't stored in our bodies, but is used as energy, raises ketones and helps release fat. It says you will lose weight from eating it. I am floored! I am excited! I didn't know this until now.

That's a terrible suggestion. If you eat coconut oil, you should absolutely log the calories. Wrong article is wrong.0 -

Wait! I just read my shampoo bottle and it says ADDS BODY!!!!! Now I know why I am overweight! It's my shampoo and coconut oil!:noway:

Must be this thread, but feels like it should be "cheves."Just curious, does the coconut oil I use for dry skin, and in my hair, .... count toward calories?
I think it does. That's why a lot of times chefs get so fat. They are touching all that food.0 -

Considering they're talking about people doing hcg, they could probably use the extra calories.0 -

So the next time I slather myself with spaghetti sauce, should I log it?

AFAIK it lessens what is stored in memory when people are aware that it is somewhere that they can look it up. But that isn't critical thinking, that's memory.
Is there actually any evidence that critical thinking is reduced by access to information. Or is it just that stupid people now think they are smart because of the internet and are polluting samples?0 -

That's sarcasm, not irony. Which is, in itself, still not ironic.

No, see ... it becomes a reliance on information being at your fingertips rather than thinking about it. While it can affect the memory, as well, it inhibits people from actually thinking about a problem/solution set and becomes more of a quest for the most appropriate Boolean search term, but lacking in determination skills as to what the most accurate and correct result is.AFAIK it lessens what is stored in memory when people are aware that it is somewhere that they can look it up.

If you don't think that it does, try reading a report written by a contemporary middle school or high school student. I'm not sure there's actual "evidence," as such, but the hypothesis exists. It's not to say you can't use search engines in a quest for information, but that you should be able to evaluate the validity of your sources. But it's also not limited to search engines and the internet; it could be said of relying solely on any particular source-type.
The link I provided above doesn't have any specific answer, but it's got some interesting ideas.0 -
Sarcasm contains irony. It is an ironic statement. If you're going to get that pedantic shouldn't you also point out the singular subject vs plural verb mismatch in the first quote?:laugh:

That's just inviting confirmation bias. For starters, I remember my so-called peers in middle school, the vast majority of them possessed little to no critical thinking skills to begin with. Additionally, it's rather naive to assume that all middle school students who write reports do so with the goal of ensuring the greatest accuracy of their sources.If you don't think that it does, try reading a report written by a contemporary middle school or high school student.
.I'm not sure there's actual "evidence," as such, but the hypothesis exists.
It sounds more like the "diet pop makes you fat" hypothesis, which skips the part where diet pop gives some people confidence that they're "eating healthy" so that they eat twice as many Big Macs and still overeat. The internet may be associated with decreased quality of research papers by students, but that doesn't mean it lessens one's ability to think critically. It ignores the confounding "it allows them to be lazy but feel like they've accomplished something" factor.
Researching requires intelligence to produce good results. You have to be able to comprehend the subject matter at least well enough to evaluate on your own whether or not a source is reliable. Someone who isn't intelligent enough (or doesn't have the prerequisite knowledge) to understand a particular subject is still not going to benefit from research regardless of their source.It's not to say you can't use search engines in a quest for information, but that you should be able to evaluate the validity of your sources. But it's also not limited to search engines and the internet; it could be said of relying solely on any particular source-type.
My alternate hypothesis would be that the internet allows some people -- who otherwise would be too intimidated/lazy/stupid to use a library -- the illusion that they have access to truths and the confidence to post their "knowledge" thinking it's backed up by a source.
Agreed. And it takes critical thinking to consider the potential value of those ideas. :happy:The link I provided above doesn't have any specific answer, but it's got some interesting ideas.0 -
Hahaha, oh my gosh.
I can't continue. I won't be able to stop chuckling.
e; Sarcasm and irony are not the same; I can see where you may think it's an ironic statement, but it's not.0 -
You're assuming it can only be one thing or another. It depends on what level you are taking it. Picture Woody from Cheers saying it and maybe you'll get the right context. It was intended as self-deprecating "look I'm smart by saying this smart-sounding thing, even though it's actually a stupid thing to say and shows I'm not as smart as I think I am," (which is irony) yet obviously I already knew that before typing it in (which is sarcasm.) Which of the three layers of that statement were you referring to?Hahaha, oh my gosh.
I can't continue. I won't be able to stop chuckling.
