Do not trust everything you see in the internet

[Natsuu]

No matter how real it looks, don't trust everything you see, seek for further validations in different sources for clarifications and proofs.

We have this topic proposal held last month and some of my mates topic is based on what they find in the internet, and our professor quickly dismissed the topics that is THEORETICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Like PERPETUAL MOTION Machine (Unlimited Energy) that is not possible because of the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics and many more.

This applies to other courses and other topics so beware.

Internet seeks views, and they can do anything for views.

All you are indicating is that complexity is winding down - dissipating - and that if science doesn't figure a way out of the entropy, there won't be any intelligence left for us.

Time for you to start looking for God. God doesn't play by the rules of the universe, and might be constantly adding "juice" to the universe to keep it from becoming so simple that people can't live any longer.

Validate, that's correct. Validate with the other sources that you can find such information that you're looking for. Compare and validate if they're telling the same thing or if there are some additional info and facts that you can add with the research that you do.
Do not trust quickly especially if the source that you are looking at isn't known for being a good source of information and the same goes for media and news.

[yhiaali3]

It is true that you cannot believe everything that you read or hear on the Internet unless there is more than one reliable source. The Internet is a big world and all people write there and some write things that are not realistic or unbelievable, so everything written on the Internet cannot be trusted.
The internet is a very big world with the bad and the beneficial and you have to know how to get the good stuff from there and throw the rest in the trash.

[BADecker]

^^^ Which really makes the Internet into a religion. Because you believe what you see their because you want to be convinced by something you read/see there.

So, only believe what fits your own, personal religion.

[OgNasty]

If there’s one thing the last year has taught me it’s that any damned fool can say whatever idiotic thing they want and claim it the truth. You should always do your due diligence as they say or at least make sure you’re getting information from a trusted source. Otherwise you’re being manipulated instead of informed.

Where did you see the ^^ above first? If it was on the Internet, don't trust it, or the joker who placed it there, right?

[Renampun]

the internet is growing rapidly and all kinds of information continue to circulate...

It is very true not to ingest all the information you see on the internet. Paying attention to the source of the information is the first thing to do because there have been many fake media acting to manipulate minds.

just look at how many untrusted media manipulate news about the corona, things like this which must be paid attention to.

Life is a competition of surviver. Either any form of politics,media,religious or economical way of life.  Media struggles to produce news each day by day, some of them are verified while some of them are still huslting to make a name so they push whatever out as long as people are buying it. if you surround yourself with all Yes and No in the media then be sure to have a complicated life and believe.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Only a complete idiot or one seeking information  that best fits his or her state of mind would consume and accept which ever information they find on the Internet without some form of verification. The fact that, the traffic of a site could generate income not just for the site but also the publishers using ads and what have you, has lead to the publication of several fake and unbelievable stories and theories on the Internet. Stories that could be entirely someone's imagination or designed to suit a purpose. Its wrong but, so long as it archives the writers purpose, its effect is non of there business.

So, one should be cautious enough on how one takes and reacts to information gotten from the web. Most of these information are not scrutinised, the fact that someone can just post whatever out of amazement in the internet could lead to the publication of several rubbish. So, verify before you get in deep shit with some of those becuase, you actually can.

Yes perpetual motion is impossible, we can't create unlimited energy out of nothing. If someone offers such a machine it's obviously a scam. Unfortunately the Internet is full of scams. For me the Internet is like advertising, everything sounds and looks awesome at first. But once you actually have it and look it at it closely it's a lot of smoke and hot air. We need to protect each other from the scammers.

[Whytee]

The internet is broad and has varieties of ways to cover up false information. More especially now our days that technology is common in the society. One has the ability to creat multiple backups to make a fake information look real. Some links on the internet are created redirect our actitives to a different page. Before you concur to anything on the internet the pages we enter should be generally recognized globally.

Definitely but I am surprised the OP was still shocked by the situation when a lot of misinformation has been spread out about Bitcoin which the new was the false fact writing on coinbase blog site and it better for everyone to do in-depth research about what they read online cause some article writer don't mind spreading fud or misinformation online just to achieve their own purpose or to get a paycheck

No matter how the person might be too close to you, do not trust them, I have come across so many pretenders claiming to be your lovers, they really care alot and make some calls with you, I was duped from one because I trusted him, after the incidence, I became careful with people I met on the internet.

It might have not occured to you but I will let you know from my experience, it's not good to trust someone from the online, except you have seen the person before, knows where he reside, so you can keep track of him, that would be fine.

Now, the information you see on the internet is all wrong. It has been greatly modified from its origins. Fraudulent websites, distorted images, and untrue information are appearing on the internet more and more. It has a bad effect on the kids. Violence, fiction, incorrect knowledge will happen. Be careful while viewing information on the internet.

[AverageGlabella]

Lol its funny seeing the hostile attitude toward the internet because of manipulating news stories and various other false information being spread but people like to ignore that their TV is spouting the same sort of shit that they are aware of on the internet. News sources on the internet actively try to mislead the population to try to push an agenda and they themselves like to shift the blame onto the internet to employ a misdirection tactic so you are not focusing on them.

The TV is the same as the internet well I would say that most people have an egenda to push and you should be aware of that at all times including on this forum.

[jrrsparkles]

Internet is an open library where anyone can learn anything means anyone can write anything too, so yes most things we see on the YouTube or any sites are created for the sake for revenue so don't take it as reference, its just a time cutting move but you need to validate with the proofs you have.

Tbh unlimited energy is true not a hoax, the machine is using gravity as a source of acceleration that move the rotor to generate power. But many thing else is not trustable you gotta be quite smart at least have some basic on how science work to tell what’s real or fake.

The machine might not work on higher altitude location, but it would work like a charm on the above water level. If the gravity is depleted, or the earth is dying it might not work too.

"unlimited energy is true not a hoax"

Yes it is.
Ok, you say it uses gravity, meaning it pulls 'something' down.
Down from where? How did this 'something' get elevated to begin with?
Oh, it majickally rose in elevation on it's own requiring no energy to do it...

You don’t need a PhD to tell how it work, this is some example of perpetual motion machine

It using gravity to pull the heavy load hanging on the rotor with some creative design you can make it rotate non stop

The other unlimited energy being solar power, nobody would question why solar power is unlimited power today I assume??
