Random online scientist here to tell you: this study has deep flaws. Among them, the way it was conducted and its outcomes. This is for various technical reasons you wouldn't really understand.

As a random commenter, clearly the sample size is too small and they mixed up correlation and causation

The contribution to the community is weak. I recommend the authors to work on their study design and to basically redo everything in good.

Mac : This is Aristotle. Thought to be the smartest man on the planet. He believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and everybody believed him because he was so smart. Until another smartest guy came around, Galileo, and he disproved that theory making Aristotle and everybody else on earth look like a

Mac : BITCH! 'Course Galileo then thought that comets were an optical illusion and there's no way that the moon could cause the ocean's tides. Everybody believed that because he was so smart. He was also wrong. Making him and everyone else on Earth

Mac : look like a bitch again. And then, best of all, Sir Issac Newton gets born and blows everybody's nips off with his brains. 'Course he also thought he could turn metal into gold and died eating mercury making him yet another stupid

I've been saying this for years but everyone just called me a quack.

Recently the headlines have actually been way more “study finds something super obvious to be true that most of society took as truth without needing a study. They just lived it in their every day life”

"And now that they have scientific backing instead of gut instinct, maybe something can actually be done. Unless of course people decide "well duh" and completely ignore the findings as they've been doing for decades"

Study finds that toxic trolls exist on X... and that they often cause people to receive hurt feelings!
