The Curse of Friday the 13th: A Superstitious Day with a Dark History
Friday the 13th is a superstition that has been around for centuries. It is associated with bad luck, misfortune, and even death. While there is no scientific evidence to support this belief, many people still avoid doing anything risky on Friday the 13th.
According to timeanddate.com, a website that provides information about time and dates, Friday the 13th phobia is a recognized anxiety disorder called friggatriskaidekaphobia, which combines the Old Norse goddess of love, Frigga, with the Greek word for thirteen, triskaideka. The name literally translates to "fear of Friday the 13th." Although it is not well-known, the fear is real and can cause severe anxiety in some people.
There are many theories about the origins of the superstition surrounding Friday the 13th. Some believe it dates back to the biblical story of the Last Supper, where Judas Iscariot was the 13th person to sit at the table. Others believe it is related to the Knights Templar, who were arrested on Friday, October 13, 1307. Whatever the origins, the superstition of Friday the 13th is still alive and well today.
Can a Fake News Story Topple Donald Trump?
In the age of social media, fake news stories can spread like wildfire. And while most people are aware that fake news exists, it can still be difficult to spot. This is especially true for stories that confirm our existing biases or beliefs.
A recent study by the American Psychological Association found that people are more likely to believe fake news stories that align with their political beliefs. The study also found that people are more likely to share fake news stories with others who share their beliefs.
This has led to concerns that fake news could have a major impact on the upcoming presidential election. In the 2016 election, fake news stories were widely shared on social media, and some believe that these stories may have helped Donald Trump win the election. However, this has not been proven.
It is important to be aware of the dangers of fake news and to be critical of the information you see online. If you see a story that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Do some research before you share it with others.
