Does Marijuana contain Alien DNA? NASA seems to confirm!

The actual title of the article where I took this crazy information from is:

NASA Confirms: “Marijuana Contains “Alien DNA” From Outside Of Our Solar System”

I know that I expose myself to @cheetah with this post, because I will quote a few things from it, but I don't mind, the idea that I want to share with you is the same. People are reading less, less than they used to the situation will eventually get worse in the near future.

For those of you who do not want to open the article, but want to find out what is it about, let me put it in a few simple words. The title has nothing to do with the post except the fact that it wants to catch the attention of readers to make a point about how many people actually share posts without even opening them. This applies pretty much to social platforms where people are commenting only based on the titles and not on the actual article. I'll just leave here some numbers:

Interestingly enough, 68% of participants admitted that they share information to reinforce and project a specific image of themselves.

As one study participant stated, “I try to share only information that will reinforce the image I’d like to present: thoughtful, reasoned, kind, interested and passionate about certain things.”

........

Interested in whether this carries over to other social media platforms, a group of computer scientists at Columbia University and the French National Institute analyzed the data of over 2.8 million online news articles that had been shared on Twitter. The results of their study indicated that up to 59% of links that Twitter users share have never actually been clicked on.

I have seen this phenomenon happening today with the so called death of Sylvester Stallone were ex colleagues of mine (people that now have finished their college were fooled by these kind of articles and shared them. How could people get so much fooled by fake news. We are living days where fake information is very easy to make and same time very easy to vanish, but we refuse to see behind the smoke and mirrors. In just a few clicks one can distinguish from fake news and reality and some of these fakes are really disturbing.

We have to build here on Steemit a community that has the culture of finding the true information and separating it from fake news and misleading data. Here we are powerful, only by using our votes and flags we can hide the bad or bad intended articles and promote the good ones so I encourage using your power responsible without a hesitation when you feel that it is right to do so.

Steem on and take care!

PS: I know I haven't been writing lately, I felt like I needed more ideas for the next articles so I took a break. Right now I have find a few and I can't wait to share them with you, hope you will like them. Thanks for reading! Really :)
