Get the Schrödinger's Argument mug.The logic whereby nothing you do is ever good or pure enough.
Named after the core example where someone can be on a diet and no matter how effective it is, there's always someone who will criticize some dietary choice you made, the logical conclusion being that the only way to prevent this from happening would be if all you ever ate was chard.
Happening more and more in left-leaning circles where people frequently criticize other people for not being "woke enough".

"I lost 50 pounds in 3 months!"
"oh but if you'd have cut rice out of your diet, it would be so much healthier."
"yeah, thanks for throwing the chard argument at me"

Get the The Chard Argument mug.The Energy Argument Against Abortion is a novel, inarguable, and irrefutable argument against abortion that can be found on the END ABORTION community on X formerly known as twitter. The Energy Argument Against Abortion is as follows: Albert Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle dictates that mass is fundamentally a form of energy. Thus, the law of conservation of energy dictates that the energy in the form of matter with mass taken in by a living system that is converted into free energy cannot be greater than the free energy utilized by the living system to carry out that CONVERSION of matter into free energy that can be utilized by the living system which mathematically means that NO NET ENERGY is added to a living system despite intake of matter with mass. Thus, as dictated by the second law of thermodynamics, the total energy of the human zygote/human fetus as a living system CANNOT increase after the moment of conception and must CONTINUALLY DECREASE since the total free energy of the human being living system progressively DECREASES as the total entropy of the human being living system progressively INCREASES since NO NET ENERGY is added to the human being living system despite intake of matter with mass into the human being living system. Thus, the human zygote/human fetus has the HIGHEST TOTAL ENERGY as a living system out of all forms of the human being including born human beings making the murderous act of abortion WRONG and IMMORAL under any circumstance!
Example: "Hey bro, I just used The Energy Argument Against Abortion in order to COMPLETELY DEBUNK every single pro-abortion apologist and it was completely FANTASTIC!"

Get the The Energy Argument Against Abortion mug.a hypothetical argument you make up in your head while taking a shower, where you win almost all the time

Get the shower argument mug.A rebuttal used in a debate or argument purely for the intent to overly simplify their opponent's point, even purposefully misinterpreting it.
An example being if A is critical of the president then B can say "you only believe that because your candidate lost the election." The statement can either be true or false, but it's use is to end A's argument. The rebuttal does not actually do anything for the purpose of debate.

Get the Argument of cringe mug.A “tall boots” argument is the use of the propaganda technique of Intentional Vagueness combined with “allusory correlation” to passively insinuate causation between a correlation without directly saying it. The employer of this annoying method of bullshittery, while never explicitly stating the idea itself, instead leads someone to believe they came to their own conclusions based on their insinuations by suggesting it to them, and not explaining further.
The term comes from the tall boots that nazi’s wore - or more specifically, pointing out that nazi’s wore tall boots TO someone wearing tall boots with the phrase “I’m not saying you’re a nazi, but…” while clearly insinuating a connection to someone wearing tall boots, and nazis. The argument is illogical, but this technique is effective because it leads people into trying to figure out what the argument *is* rather than examining the argument itself, no matter how stupid it is.
You will know when that annoying friend of yours is using this technique in two steps:
1. The start with the phrase “I’m not saying *insert subject of connection*, but…” before trailing off
2. You tell them that that’s stupid, which prompts only a shrug, rather than any extrapolation
