The cynical but often accurate observation that for any complex issue, a person can selectively present isolated data points ("cherry-picked" facts) to construct a compelling but deeply misleading narrative that supports their pre-existing bias. This isn't a claim that all facts are false, but that their power comes from context and omission. A single statistic, a lone study, or an individual anecdote can be wielded as a definitive "truth-totem" while ignoring the vast forest of contradictory evidence surrounding it. In the information age, data isn't power; curation is.
Example: A climate change denier points to a single cold day in July and declares, "See? No global warming! All facts are cherry-pickable." They've plucked one irrelevant data point from a planet-sized dataset of rising temperatures, using a "fact" to fabricate a falsehood. It's the weaponization of the technically-true to obscure the actually-true.

Get the Nuclear fartsplosion mug.When a sports fan can no longer jump around in excitement while watching games because their team’s season ended & now has to sit & watch other games on the couch while breathing in their own farts (because they can no longer jump around their house in excitement). Depression from their team being eliminated causes them to become immobile on their couch during all following games.
Brett is gonna be smokin’ farts the rest of January since his favorite team just lost to their biggest rival in the playoffs. He no longer has the ability to get up & fart away from his wife while watching other games as he’s too depressed. Now his wife will inhale his farts as well, unless her team is still alive as she’ll watch in another room.
