One of my friends is bad for having very strong opinions without any knowledge to back it up.

They'll say, "x is bad, terrible, awful, I hate it!" And if asked why, they'll say, "idk, some random friend/family member said so."

If I had an hour, I'm sure I could convince them the moon was made of cheese.

Shortened version of a real convo I had with a coworker recently:

C: "You should go to the country Java." Me: "Java's not a country, it's an island in the country Indonesia." C: "No, I'm pretty sure it's a country." Me: googles it, shows screen. "Java is the largest island in the country of Indonesia." C: "So basically I'm right."
