for example, one day my mom wanted me to dress up in oodles of layers because it was 12 degrees out (not that cold to me honestly). i said no and then she gave me the argument that "you'll get a cold/pnemonia if you go out there without multiple layers on". i told her that's not true and explain they're caused by viruses. then the whole "mother knows all" charade and she angrily storms off. there are multiple examples of this happening am i seriously a bad person for correcting people? this isn't exclusively with my mom either. |

hypothermia weakens your immune system and makes you more susceptible to the viruses that cause the common cold |
| Nonnel:
yeah you can absolutely get hypothermia |
| Planr:
your mom is right put on extra clothes lol 12 degrees is not cold to you? thats literally below freezing. |

if it doesn't necessarily add anything to the conversation, then it's weird, and it can come across as you trying to make someone feel stupid depending on the tone, or it could just make someone feel stupid regardless in the example you gave, the only problem i can see is if you gave an excessive amount of detail, which might be a bit out of place |
