False Summer (Michigan)

A meteorological prank where Michigan briefly experiences beautiful spring weather for about 48 hours before returning to snow, wind, and existential disappointment.

Known side effects include:

• wearing shorts in March
• grilling in the driveway
• everyone collectively saying “maybe winter’s finally over”
• immediate regret

Scientists believe this phenomenon exists solely to keep Michiganders humble.

Yesterday I was driving with the windows down in a T-shirt. Today I’ve got my North Face zipped up. False summer (Michigan).

False Purpose Fallacy

A fallacy and bias where two or more oppressive or repressive systems, institutions, or practices are treated as fundamentally incomparable solely because of their stated or intended purpose, despite producing identical or functionally equivalent harms. The fallacy lies in substituting intent for impact, purpose for consequence. When someone argues that CECOT prison in El Salvador "doesn't compare" to Sednaya prison in Syria because one is for "rehabilitation" (or "fighting gangs") while the other was for political repression, they commit the False Purpose Fallacy—as if the experience of the prisoner, the deprivation of liberty, the violence of the state, and the suffering of the confined were somehow different because the official justification differs. Similarly, when Western AI surveillance is distinguished from authoritarian surveillance because "we're protecting democracy" while "they're controlling dissent," the same fallacy operates: the purpose stated differs, but the surveillance functions similarly. The fallacy is false because purpose does not negate parallel function; good intentions do not transform oppressive machinery into something else; stated goals do not alter lived experience.

Example: "He insisted CECOT wasn't comparable to Sednaya because El Salvador was 'fighting gangs' while Syria was 'crushing dissent'—pure False Purpose Fallacy, as if prisoners experience their cages differently based on the press releases justifying their imprisonment."

Falsifiability Fallacy

A fallacy where one insists that only claims that can be falsified (proven false through empirical testing) can be considered scientific, meaningful, or real—misapplying Karl Popper's demarcation criterion for science as a universal standard for all knowledge. The Falsifiability Fallacy treats "this claim isn't falsifiable" as equivalent to "this claim is meaningless," ignoring that many meaningful claims (historical events, mathematical truths, ethical principles, subjective experiences) aren't falsifiable in Popper's sense. It's the fallacy behind dismissing philosophical questions as "not even wrong" and treating the limits of empirical testing as the limits of reality itself—a profound confusion between a useful criterion for distinguishing science from non-science and a supposed criterion for distinguishing sense from nonsense.

Example: "He dismissed the question of whether love exists as meaningless because it wasn't falsifiable—the Falsifiability Fallacy in action, using a tool for identifying scientific claims as if it were the gatekeeper of all reality."

False confidence man

The type of man who is full of false confidence about his abilities to satisfy a woman in the bedroom (or wherever else you try to get your rocks off. A man who thinks he made a woman squirt even though she's so turned off she can only describe it as being fucked by a pencil wrapped in sandpaper

Mark was known as False Confidence man despite having to repetitively ask the woman for reassurance & to ask vital questions such as "am I doing this right?"

False Gamiphobe

Someone who knowingly or unknowingly falsely insists they have no game because they do not try. (Not to be confused with a Gamiphobe)

I think Tommy is really a False Gamiphobe, no one even talks about him.

Falshetto

When you feel like you need to poop but when you sit down you just rip a nasty echoing musical fart. Essentially this is the opposite of a shart.

Man I swear I felt a turtle head poking out but when I went to drop tge kids off at the pool it was just a falshetto.
