Facebook comment sections are the toilets of society

Came across a video post where this lady was washing her vegetables with 11.5 ph water to get the pesticides off better than regular water. I was expecting the video to be total BS so I googled it and to my surprise she was right. So I start looking at the comment section and 90% of the post are quoting their Jr. HS knowledge of chemistry and calling her stupid. So I posted an article and the peer review research paper that back up her claim and was stunned at how many people still attacked my response with their Jr. High understanding of Science. I am personally not going to use 11.5 ph water to clean my vegetables but technically the lady was correct and not "stupid". Hopefully it's just the comment sections that is filled with these folks who have knee jerk reactions and don't take a few minutes to look up the published research. I changed my mind when I saw the actual research. It's amazing how proud people are of their own ignorance and are not willing to change their mind when presented with new data. Here are the two links I posted: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/expert-says-youve-been-washing-20223275 And a link to the actual Peer Reviewed paper on the subject the article mentions: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6388112/?fbclid=IwAR0heGShjc8oeB9dK2bXmcTVJAQvGXObi2ozxoaupxGJpL2KnIBGUerwcxQ

Knowing Trump, if he loses to DeSantis he will tell his loyal followers to stay home

Fox is already getting behind DeSantis and it's causing Trump to attack them. It would not surprise me if Trump starts a huge civil war inside the Republican party and that would be the most beautiful thing I have seen in years. LOL
