Don't take advice from random individuals

Here is a list of attention-grabbing headline statements made by some self-proclaimed experts. You're cutting your onions wrong.

You're cleaning your bathroom wrong. You're cleaning your house wrong. And you're eating your pasta wrong. Should we listen to them? A lot of the time, the advice they give today will be completely different from the advice they might give tomorrow. Even for the little insignificant things in life, I feel that some people rely too heavily on other people's advice.

In the old days, that is before social media, no one could go about giving advice unless someone visited their office and paid a consultation fee. But now such advice comes ten a penny and everyone is an expert on something. They don't even need credentials from a reputable institution. They just need a following big enough for people to pay attention. I mean, do you really care how you peel and cut onions and is their advice for avoiding tears really so innovative or desperately needed? Do we care whether or not our eyes water as we peel and cut? Personally I don't mind a little tear here and there when I work with onions because, well they do clear up your blocked up sinuses and clean your eyes. But to have a whole article on the subject seems absurd.
