Did your crazy uncle Dave just send you some off the wall YouTube video about aliens giving free haircuts in New York with the explanation "If we all look bad then no one will take us seriously and then the guvernmint can easily inject us with memory erasing chemical dihydrogen monoxide"!" ?

You know its BS but you just don't have time to scratch the surface of why? Then rely on us! Skeptics! we have volunteers waiting to answer your call and help you source reputable, quality work that you can send to your Uncle so he can ignore it.

How this works
If you have a question about something start your post with Question:
Be as descriptive as you can. Post links if it helps you get your point across - but if it is really misleading the links may get removed.

If you are answering a question please only use quality sources (google scholar is a good one) and keep the answer to a few paragraphs.

If you have a problem with a source being used start a new thread to explain why. We as a community can decide if it stays or goes.

Example format
Start: State your opinion: Is this real, crazy conspiracy or something in between.

Give you reasons for your opinion with good sources

End with a quick summary if you can.
