i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we've so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.

I pointed this our recently in another thread and people got real bent out of shape about it, it was weird.

People don't like the things they believe to be challenged, and many people fail to recognize what is a belief and what is a fact.

It's the problem with knowing enough to not know how little you actually do (know).

Am I seeing shapeism here? Why do you think you can dictate the shape people choose for themselves?

They waited too long and the water has gone down too far and they can't escape
