Rock Auto? Probably have to wait more than 2 days for your order to arrive though.
I don’t think the term media literacy was used but we did learn literary criticism and how to formulate arguments in formal debate. We covered The Onion and adbusters, and we talked about identifying bias. In history class we learned the difference between primary and secondary sources and my history teacher was the first person I ever heard say "follow the money " to understand a person’s motivations. We also had a theory of knowledge class which taught some basics of philosophy.
Good points, I just wanted to mention another database that is useful for finding information about supplements based on actual research studies. Unfortunately it requires a subscription but some Universities and Libraries can provide access.
You make a good point that people who believe these conspiracies often have an underlying reason making them want to believe. Dan Olson came to the same conclusion in his video about flat earthers which I would recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
“Flat Earthers are not otherwise-empty vessels who believe one kooky thing. They believe that thing because it suits their purposes. […] it says something they already believe about the nature of the social world. Flat Earth is a thing people want to believe because if it were true it would be irrefutable proof of everything else they believe.”

As for the soy thing, Hbomerguy covered the topic pretty thoroughly.
Some other publications have commented on the original more recently. For example: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7
I thought I had seen one with some more in depth historical analysis from The Atlantic or Bloomberg or something but I can’t seem to find it again.

There is a good general summary here.

I looked at some of the examples and I think it would be helpful if there were fields for more detailed information such as optimal soil type/chemistry/pH and common pests/diseases and how to treat them.
Hmmm, it looks like you joined a different instance, “@infosec.pub” while I’m on “@kbin.social”. I’m not sure how that is affecting things since I’m still trying to figure this out myself. You might need to ask for details on a local @infosec.pub community. I did find out that for this to work you have to get the syntax for the community you want to join exactly right in your search. For example, if you were searching for technology at beehaw you would have to search “technology@beehaw.org” without any leading @ or !.
What I called the general search is the magnifying glass icon at the top of the page on mobile. To get to the magazine search you have to tap the general search then tap magazines on the next page.
Exactly, cube rule is inconsistent and needlessly complicated. Both are salads
It worked! Thank you so much!
I didn’t realize that searches for outside communities need to be done in the general search bar and not in the magazine search.
This looks like a great resource! However, I’m having trouble subscribing to some lemmy communities on kbin. I tried copying the community name into the kbin magazine search but nothing is found. Do I just need to wait for federation issues to be fixed or is there something I need to do to “push” communication between different instances?
(Edit: I didn’t even realize at first that this post is on beehaw. Looks like I still have some work to do getting acclimated to the fediverse.)
Is your mind on your money?
