encourage an audience to agree with the writer because everyone else is doing so, Example: "Everyone is wearing their pants backward this Tuesday to improve 'aerodynamics.' Why aren't you? Do you hate speed?"

use emotion to distract the audience from the facts, Example: "You can't give me a speeding ticket! Think of my goldfish, Barnaby. If I’m late, he might feel a momentary sense of existential loneliness!"

assume that the opinions of a recognized expert in one area should be heeded in another area, Example: "As a world class professional yodeler, I can confidently tell you that your laptop needs a new motherboard and more purple stickers

arguments confuse chronology with causation, Example: "I wore my lucky neon orange socks today and then it didn't rain. Clearly, my socks are the only thing standing between us and a global flood."

a statement that does not logically relate to what comes before it; Example: "I should definitely get a raise because I really enjoy the color of the office carpet and my favorite shape is a trapezoid.
