Yes, thank you.

This reminds me of slippery slope fallacy. Just because you release the ball doesn't mean it will go down.
Ok, it is going down, but that doesn't mean it will ever hit the floor. It would be intellectually dishonest to think that just because an object is falling, it will hit the ground after all :smugsargon:

@LukeAlmighty @matana A slippery slope is only a fallacy if you can't connect the steps, ie you don't have evidence for it.
On the topic of whataboutism, it is a fallacy however many people call it out when it 's use is valid and it isn't even a serious fallacy youtube.com/watch?v=PuGLJPKY1o
There is also fallacy fallacy meaning just because it's a fallacy doesn't mean it's wrong.

@matrix @LukeAlmighty @matana A version of something makes a more extreme version of that thing easier. It's just literally obviously true, don't even need to show evidence for the steps. How can people imagine it's not

They didn't even name it right. Gambler's fallacy is named because gamblers do a fallacy, but things actually go down and accelerate in a slope, it's retarded
