Dog Owners Live Longer.
More love, more exercise, and less stress. You'll live longer by checking all three boxes.
Not to mention health care. Do the majority of dog owners take their pups to the vet and in turn get regular checkups themselves?
There are lots of variables.
After accounting for those I bet dog owners live longer lives.
Now there's no helping cat owners.
they experienced the lowest stress response and the quickest recovery in the situation where they were only with their pet
Some people experienced increased output of endorphins and dopamines after just five minutes with an animal

Yeah, that would be Cthulhu. And circle is not the same as sphere. Flat-earthers belive the world is a circle too. The Church taught geocentrism for centuries. Just ask Galileo how he made out when he put forth the theory of heliocentrism.
What I've never understood about the flat earthers is just how thick the earth is? Can't be paper thin otherwise we couldn't mine anything right? So just how flat is it exactly? How with modern technology has no one ever filmed the edge of the earth? Where does all the water go? Where does it come from? I actually looked at a couple of these FE websites and they are just painful to behold. Apparently no one has ever been to space, there are no satellites, etc. That's because, get this, space agencies only exist to embezzle tax dollars. Yes, every space agency of every nation on earth is apparently in cahoots on this. There are 10's of 1000s of people in on this and nary a one of them has ever blown cover and revealed the hoax because they're all getting insanely rich of the billions they're embezzling.
Wow. Just wow.
"There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth."

I wonder if any flat-earther truly believes. Like it's just one big LARP for people who's lives are boring and insignificant and they're just trying to feel good about themselves and pass the time before they die(I mean who isn't). While it may not be the most maladaptive way of dealing with life it still spreads dangerous levels of stupid and the increasingly unfortunate view that fact is only a matter of conviction.

That flat earther article first line is "1,800 feet high"
uhm.. that's barely off the ground... planes fly at 30,000 feet.. Even 1800 meters is paltry amount. 18,000 feet isn't high.. So what is the typo? is this for real that he expects 1,800 feet to be a good thing?
He built his first manned rocket in 2014, the Associated Press reported, and managed to fly a quarter-mile over Winkelman, Ariz.
As seen in a YouTube video, the flight ended with Hughes being dragged, moaning, from the remains of the rocket. The injuries he suffered put him in a walker for two weeks, he said.
