This post is trying to convince me to buy the Zen Word game by making the claim that it will help with my memory and sleep. It will even help me look younger!

I am not going to make an argument about a bias because I don't want to give the definition of one away. However, you should make an argument about what bias might lead someone to believe this claim here!

The original claim was that a man was arrested for trying to clear snow from his driveway by reporting it in detail and including supposed witness reports.

I think that this story is believable to many because it is a good story. To many, Americans, especially ones who live in rural areas, are likely to engage in strange and dangerous behavior, and using a flamethrower to shovel snow fits right into that schema that many have already developed. This post may go viral every few years or so due to people thinking it's a real story, but when you actually check the source, it came from a satire news channel, not a real reporting service, and is clearly false. This is one of many examples of the phenomenon of when humans read something that sounds like it could happen or is likely to happen, we are likely to believe it.

The originator of the claim is trying to convince you that due to bruising on his hands Trump is not far from death.

This type of bias is the availability heuristic bias. Information regarding a bruised hand on both the Queen and Trump were easily accessible, however they could be misinterpreting the frequency of hand bruising. Also due to the media highlighting the Queen constantly before her death and highlighting Trump's bruised hand as well the information was readily available whereas other information surrounding bruised hands is not as easily available.

The individual who posted this is trying to convince the public that homosexuality is wrong and then used their religion as their reasoning. She calls this identity an abomination and an uncurable disease.

I believe this claim would be an example of availability heuristic, stating things on the person's most readily available information in their memory and can be distorted perceptions of reality. Plenty of religious individuals accept the LGBTQ+ community, and plenty of members of the LGBTQ+ community are religious.

This person is trying to convince the consumer that this drink is more effective and trustworthy to help with gut health than supplements. They are trying to make you believe that if you drink this drink your stomach issues will be cured because it worked for her.

The type of bias shown in this post is present bias. This bias happens when something is present and seems to work but ignoring cases when it doesn't. This post focuses on her personal experience with taking this drink but fails to give evidence of people who may have tried this and it worked/ didn't work. This post also does not provide any scientific research evidence to back up her claim.

This advertisement is trying to convince me that Taonga: The Island Farm is the top farm game of the year, and that it helps people over 50 stay relaxed.

This would be an example of confirmation bias. There is no evidence that suggests this is a largely successful game, or that it supports relaxation, but if you look up "top farm games 2025" there is a single website with this listed as a currently popular game. If someone agitated were to play the game until the emotions subsided, they would likely attribute the results to the game rather than any other factors due to being told it promotes relaxation.

The person who made this post is claiming that you can tell when a man is gay by if he engages in hygienic habits that are more commonly perceived as feminine.

I think that this claim could be an example of confirmation bias because the person who wrote this claim clearly thinks that all gay men are extremely into hygiene routines like skincare, showers, and clean clothes. They fail to consider straight men who practice such habits and gay men who don't. This person has only considered evidence that supports what they already thought of gay and straight men instead of considering evidence saying otherwise.

The originator of this ad is trying to claim that this juice has miraculous health benefits that can even extend your lifespan. This ad implies that the antioxidants can save you from illness, aging, and even death.

I think that this could be an example of the availability heuristic bias. People have heard about the benefits of superfoods, antioxidants, and vitamins in health and wellness before. This information is easily remembered so a viewer maybe be more inclined to belief this ad's statement. The idea that it actually helps you live longer may sound slightly more reasonable if they have already seen information about how antioxidants are good for your health.

"i hate old people man. "i was in the war" congratulations. i'm gonna be in the next one and they have laser beams now"

# data[].attributes.body
This person is saying that because laser beams (and more modern technology) exist, that being in war will be more difficult now than in the past.

I believe this is an example of the availability heuristic. Yes, laser beams weren't invented until about 65 years ago (recent information), and yes, those are things that would be extremely difficult to deal with in a war. However, it discounts the other things that previous people who have fought in wars have dealt with. Additionally, no one has been drafted for a war yet, and there isn't solid or substantial proof that it can or will happen, which I think leads into confirmation bias. This person believes that people are in imminent danger of being drafted, and others who are likely to read this and pay attention to it may use it as another example in their head of why, if they were drafted; it would be worse. This person also fails to give evidence as to why laser beams in war would be worse than previous wars.

The content creator who posted this video was claiming that this game which has been the recipient of 435 game of the year awards is actually a terrible game that lacks any positives to it.

# data[].attributes.body
This type of bias would be a confirmation bias. The creator who made this has also described how they did not enjoy games of a similar nature and ones made by the same developer. So they went into this with an existing belief that it would be a bad experience and looked for the negative points that they had seen in previous titles. To someone who has enjoyed other titles by the same developer they might tell you that it was a masterpiece for the gaming industry.

During the launch of the brand Lunchly the creators which are popular YouTubers KSI, Logan Paul, and Mr. Beast made the claim that Lunchly was going to be the healthier and tastier alternative to the brand Lunchables which is the popular kids brand that we have all grown up with since 1988.

The two major issues with this claim is that the people who made this brand were trying to make unfair comparisons because the Lunchly boxes were not the same in size and dependent on which Lunchable you got, the amount of sugar in each packaging could change. A lot of doctors also weighed in on this topic to also claim that a few vital pieces of information that they would need to compare was also missing from the comparison shots which was Saturated fats and Sodium and was replaced with Electrolytes.

This is dangerous also because this is three influential people putting their names onto a brand and a lot of children put their trust into them and could potentially be putting some misinformation into the world and ruin the reputation of another brand which may be a cheaper and ultimately better alternative for their parent to buy since Lunchly is over a dollar more expensive and could lead to children feeling pressure to buy the trendy and new product that is out since it is recommended to them by their favorite YouTuber.

The person who posted this is claiming that vegetables are not an important source of nutrients and that you can replace them with steak. They also provided a link to an article to try to back up their claim.

I believe this is an example confirmation bias because they are only considered information that went with their claim. In the replies if anyone provided evidence that went against this claim they would reply saying that their information was wrong. They only take into consideration evidence that supports their claim that vegetables are don't provide necessary nutrients.

The original post claims you should fear sharks.

This is an example of an availability bias. Availability bias occurs when people rely on information that comes easily to mind, rather than solid facts. The media paints sharks as murderous savages when, in reality, shark attacks are extremely rare. Examples of this include the Jaws series, Sharknado, The Meg, and thousands of other shark-based horror films. The inaccurate portrayals of sharks in movies and other media evoke unnecessary fear in many.

The originator of the claim is stating that all of Trisha Paytas' children are reincarnations of famous people who have died.

I believe the claim could be an example of confirmation bias. Although we all know it is ridiculous to believe that all of Trisha's babies have been reincarnated as some sort of famous person who died on the same day, it is easy for us to be swept up by the claims after having it happen multiple times. It can also be seen as cherry-picking, as we do not make these claims for other people who have babies the same day as others have died. The internet only does it with Trisha Paytas.

This type of bias would fall under conformation bias. By asking the question "Which one offers the most value for money?" and then having a longer list of qualities for the iPhone 17 automatically makes people think theres more features. This will make people assume the iPhone would have the most value. Since a verified Apple account posted this, they are going to make sure the new iPhone they are promoting looks much better compared to the other brands. This can be cherry-picking, because they are picking what features for each phone they want to include and can leave things out to beef up the image of the new iPhone.

This ad is trying to get a consumer to believe that by using this cream, it will help them to lose weight by "firming and slimming" the skin area that you use it on. So much so that it says it can help one decrease their waist by 3 cm right on the ad.

I believe this is an example of being swayed by a good story. Unfortunately, our society has unrealistic beauty standards, and the goal is to be as slim as possible. As a result, people might want to believe that a cream can help them lose some weight. While it is more believable nowadays with different patches and creams to supply weight loss medications, it is still impossible to get the same result of 500 ab crunches just by using this product.

The app company is trying to convince us that by using their AI employee tool, our team will achieve a lot of productivity gains. From 25% more to as much as a 10x boost. They want us to believe that if we adopt their software, it will transform our output in ways far beyond realistic.

Bias: The availability Heuristic

People could easily believe this claim because it’s easy to imagine huge productivity jumps ( especially with all the hype about AI). Success stories and cool ads stick to a consumers memory, so the brain is willing to overestimate how likely these results are.

Within this post, we see videos of this guy with wads of cash in hand, going on trips, meeting girls, and smoking cigars. How did he achieve all this? Well, he locked in of course.

I think this guy is using confirmation bias. We've all heard the story that if we just work really hard, we can have all of our wildest dreams. We'll have the cars, the wife, the house, the American dream. If you just do this course that teaches you to lock in, then boom! It's achievable. This video tries to confirm the story that if you just have the right method, you can have it all.
