I don’t think the term media literacy was used but we did learn literary criticism and how to formulate arguments in formal debate. We covered The Onion and adbusters, and we talked about identifying bias. In history class we learned the difference between primary and secondary sources and my history teacher was the first person I ever heard say "follow the money " to understand a person’s motivations. We also had a theory of knowledge class which taught some basics of philosophy.
Good points, I just wanted to mention another database that is useful for finding information about supplements based on actual research studies. Unfortunately it requires a subscription but some Universities and Libraries can provide access.
You make a good point that people who believe these conspiracies often have an underlying reason making them want to believe. Dan Olson came to the same conclusion in his video about flat earthers which I would recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
“Flat Earthers are not otherwise-empty vessels who believe one kooky thing. They believe that thing because it suits their purposes. […] it says something they already believe about the nature of the social world. Flat Earth is a thing people want to believe because if it were true it would be irrefutable proof of everything else they believe.”

As for the soy thing, Hbomerguy covered the topic pretty thoroughly.
Some other publications have commented on the original more recently. For example: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7
I thought I had seen one with some more in depth historical analysis from The Atlantic or Bloomberg or something but I can’t seem to find it again.

I’m far too sad and intoxicated
Yep, this man/woman is definitely a scientist working at a university.
Thanks for the information and I hope your next experiment goes well.
I looked at some of the examples and I think it would be helpful if there were fields for more detailed information such as optimal soil type/chemistry/pH and common pests/diseases and how to treat them.
I can see how Coke and OJ could work. Although, I like to mix Coke and eggnog during the holidays so maybe I’m not the most trustworthy source on this topic. Also espresso and root beer on ice is quite good.

Hmmm, it looks like you joined a different instance, “@infosec.pub” while I’m on “@kbin.social”. I’m not sure how that is affecting things since I’m still trying to figure this out myself. You might need to ask for details on a local @infosec.pub community. I did find out that for this to work you have to get the syntax for the community you want to join exactly right in your search. For example, if you were searching for technology at beehaw you would have to search “technology@beehaw.org” without any leading @ or !.
What I called the general search is the magnifying glass icon at the top of the page on mobile. To get to the magazine search you have to tap the general search then tap magazines on the next page.
Exactly, cube rule is inconsistent and needlessly complicated. Both are salads
It worked! Thank you so much!
I didn’t realize that searches for outside communities need to be done in the general search bar and not in the magazine search.
