Betteridge’s Law


a parodic scientific law stating that any headline ending in a question mark can safely be answered with “no.” extremely useful in this age of clickbait.
clickbait: “did this man cure cancer by spreading dog sh-t on his face?? the answer will amaze you!!”

smart guy: “no. if it was true then it wouldn’t need the question mark.”

clickbait: “but don’t people enjoy suspenseful headlines?? the answer is astounding!!”

smart guy: “betteridge’s law.” (keeps scrolling.)
