RationalWiki

A wiki biased towards facts that was created in response to Conservapedia editors being blocked for correcting falsehoods, which is what Conservapedia is, a right wing falsehood wiki made in response to the non-existent liberal bias of Wikipedia. RationalWiki is often hated on by bigots, who don’t know that there aren’t people who cause trouble, aside from vandals. RationalWiki is aimed at debunking things like salt woo, food woo, or other types of woo.

RationalWiki is known for editors from Conservapedia who quit in response to the Conservapedia falsehoods.

My Rationality

The rationality that is only understood by you. Usually used when you say or do something that makes no sense.

Person 1: Why did the banana turn into a coconut?
Person 2: Why?
Person 1: BECAUSE IT WAS A COOKIE!!!!
Person 2: That makes no sense
Person 1: Understand my rationality
Person 2: Which is?
Person 1: I'm an asshole.

rational assumption

The word utilized by caucasians in the scientific community when they realize that their 10 years in graduate school went down the shitter and they have no fucking clue what they're talking about but they still want to sound smart. Comparitive to conjecture, speculate, or hypothesize. This term is basically the honkey's way of saying "guess" while still maintaining a know-it-all air about themselves.

"I may be going out on a limb, but I will make a rational assumption and say that in 20 years there will not be a single white NBA player left because they are all afraid of Lebron James's big black cobra."

Rationalization

The idea Christians can't comprehend.

Christian: I believe in God, because the Bible says so!
Rational thinker: have you tried rationalization with the Bible?
Christian: What is that? Sounds like science, and science is evil!
Rational thinker: *FACE-PALM*

trationalize

To rationalize, but with respect to extremely evil issues.

E.g., One may rationalize partaking of a fast food material during a busy work day but one trationalizes when revoking an American citizen's right to vote because one convinces him- or herself that the low socioeconomic status and presumably low IQ of a focal American citizen disallow the worth of his or her vote.ra
