CIA-Induced Cognitive Dissonance

The feeling in your heart that the CIA has never actually done anything wrong, despite mountains of evidence that says otherwise

"You still don't believe that MK Ultra happened, even though the CIA publicly admitted to the program being real, and released documents detailing how it was carried out?"
"No dude, that stuff is too crazy to have ever actually happened."
"Wow. You must have CIA-Induced Cognitive Dissonance."

Wood Inducement

A visual stimulus so powerful it causes an immediate hardware upgrade in a man's pants. It's not a choice; it’s an inducement.

“I was trying to focus on my workout, but that girl in the squat rack was providing some serious wood inducement.”

Flori-cal linear induction tube

This is a fantasy super high speed rail deep underground which makes it possible to travel from florida to california in 3 hours! The inspiration for this idea comes from donald fagens early '80s hit single "I gy this verse specifically: 'on that train all graphite and glitter under sea by rail 90 minutes from New York to Paris well by :76 we'll be a-ok! What a beautiful ❤️ world 🌎 this will be what a glorious. Time to be free!'

We caught the
Flori-cal linear induction tube at noon in Miami and 3 hours later we arrived in San Diego at noon local. We went to the zoo then caught a bite to eat at horton plaza and made it in time for an 8pm curtain at the San Diego Opera
It let out at 11pm so we made it back to the station for some drinks then we caught the 2am local flori-cal for a 3 hour ride back to Miami and arrived there at 8am local time!

Non-sexual abuse-inducing bromanceship

Non-sexual abuse-inducing bromanceship (n): a raw, untamed bond of absolute respect, trust, and loyalty between two individuals, void of any for their romantic partners.

Their non-sexual abuse-inducing bromanceship was so unhinged that they'd die for each other without hesitation; yet, ask them to hold the door open for their girlfriends, and they’d look at you like you just asked them to sacrifice their first-borns.

Fallacy of Impossible Induction

The mistaken belief that because complete induction (examining every case) is impossible, no inductive conclusion can be trusted. This fallacy rejects all generalizations on the grounds that we haven't examined every instance—ignoring that induction works by sampling, not census. It's the logic of "you haven't read every book, so you can't say books exist," of "you haven't met every French person, so you can't generalize about French culture." The fallacy of impossible induction is beloved of those who want to dismiss well-supported generalizations by demanding impossible standards of proof. It's a cousin of the perfect knowledge fallacy, and just as paralyzing.

Fallacy of Impossible Induction Example: "She cited studies showing the benefits of exercise. He responded with the fallacy of impossible induction: 'But you haven't studied every person who ever exercised. How do you know it works for everyone?' She said science doesn't require studying everyone; it requires representative samples. He said that wasn't proof. She said that was how proof works. He remained unconvinced, which was his right, but also his loss."
