Sunk Nut Fallacy

When you are mid nut and suddenly hit with regret that the nut isn’t worth it but you already committed to it so you must go through with it.
I was halfway through a cringe hookup when I realized I wasn’t into it, but I’d already Ubered there and taken my socks off—sunk nut fallacy at its finest.

Conservative Rating Fallacy

The Conservative belief that the majority agree with their opinion, particularly because of ratings on a social media post.

Generally this occurs on left-leaning social media posts, where the majority of the received feedback is from conservative users.

Typically the smaller, conservative group tend to base their beliefs around hatred, and thus feel the need to give overwhelming negative feedback to assert dominance and protect their sensitive egos. The actual majority however, tends to be made up of people who don't care, or are intelligent enough not to argue with idiots.
Post: "Donald Trump has a bad spray tan and says a lot of stupid things."

Person 1: Why does that post have more dislikes than likes? Everything about it is completely true.

Person 2: Oh don't mind that, it's just from a bunch of cultists using the Conservative Rating Fallacy.

Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy

The logical error of assuming people act honestly, ethically, or transparently without evidence, ignoring that self-interest, incentives, and deception often influence behavior. Accepting statements or actions at face value without considering motives is the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.

Examples Illustrating the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy:

1. Law Enforcement:
Police at a crime scene operate under the assumption of malice or self-interest, not automatic honesty. Ignoring human self-interest in these situations would be dangerous and illogical.

2. Sports / Entertainment:
In the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, assuming the bout wasn’t rigged just because they denied it ignores possible financial or strategic incentives, making this a clear Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.

3. Everyday Life / Buying Items:
Buying a “cheap” iPad or concert tickets on Craigslist without checking could leave you with a fake or broken product. Verifying items before purchase follows the assumption of malice, showing why assuming honesty is a fallacy.
1. “Thinking a stranger handing you a USB drive is safe to plug in? That’s the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy—people can have hidden motives.”

2. “Believing every politician is telling the truth during a campaign speech is a classic Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.”

3. “Assuming your roommate would never eat your leftovers without asking? That’s textbook Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.”

The Dingus Fallacy

Making an assumption that, since there are REASONS WHY some thing exists, therefore that thing does NOT exist.
Rashaan: The "gender gap in pay" is a myth! The fact is that women CHOOSE lower paying jobs so they can spend more time with their family.

Han: So, the fact that women make less money than men is false, because there is a reason women make less money than men? Look out, big brain time! Sounds like you've committed the Dingus Fallacy.
