Saw this crap trending on reddit today. I just shook my head and facepalmed. You have one group of them that believes it, and another group that posts hoax photos like these just to fan the flames of the gullible. I swear…

Classic Python…made me larf…
I do not pretend
to know why feathers fall.
do angels watch me and intercept?
what pigeons would follow
one person and drop
their whispy bombs upon only they?
my Reddit is the haven
upon which I rely
to explain what I still know
or flap the sarcasm into my face
that will be dismissed
as gravity to a bird.
I watch those “ghost hunting” shows for a good laugh. I get a kick out of seeing those people practically tripping over themselves and each other over “things that go bump in the night!” It’s hilarious what they believe in.
A Ghost’s propensity to avoid broad daylight and crowds with cameras and above all, any kind of scientific investigation, should be a clue about the kind of confirmation bias they’re indulging, but no, on live tv one of them said without a hint of irony, “must have been a ghost, what else could it have been?”
A logical fallacy called argumentum ad ignorantiam, that’s what it could have been. Not content with this hilarity and the equally ironic claim to always think rationally, he proceed to say he “hated people who claimed they didn’t believe in ghosts, as they were closed minded.” Then proceeded to claim he was “100% certain ghosts were real” I guess like theists, ghost believers are irony impaired.
Does it also apply to pigeon shit? Every time I clean my car (and other times too but it feels worse when I’ve just cleaned it), I get pigeon shit on it… gotta be a paranormal explanation, right?
