I think you'd be right too.
My favourite is the pole shift, where people confuse magnetic pole shift with the physical poles shifting. The magnetic poles always drift and if they flipped there is no reason why they'd cause earthquakes, volcanoes or anything.
If the physical poles flipped then that would be a problem because the world would have to literally turn full circle - you do get some idiots claiming to have evidence of the Earth's axial tilt changing right here right now by significantly important amounts (which in itself is shite) as a precursor to the poles flipping.
And an amazing amount of people note natural magnetic pole shift as a sign of the physical poles about to flip suddenly because they do not know the difference between magnetic and physical poles. There aren't enough facepalms in the world to post at these people.
