I did a study, and my findings are stunning. People with arachnophobia react with fear when confronted with spiders.

And I never even went to university. I posted my findings on Facebook and now I’m officially a scientist.

Sometimes I feel like this is how people are doing “studies”. I’m pretty sure this article is from the Onion, but the “research” I’ve read about lately isn’t far from this satirical one. Many are on the ‘no shit Sherlock’ level. The only thing I can think of reading it is “did you seriously waste precious resources and time on this bullshit?” like “studies” proving obviously made up lies from Trump as untrue, which it clearly is because rules of physics etc. You don’t need a PhD to prove he’s full of shit. Please, use your brain on finding a cure for cancer instead.
