She wasn't aggressive, but she wasn't going anywhere either. Followed her everywhere for a few weeks, then spousal unit started getting sick, and went to the doctor, and the doctor said "Lets check the obvious"... And now I have an eight year old daughter, and that dog is her constant companion.

Some of the 'truths' people list here actually have evidence behind them. Like the fact that drinks taste better in glass bottles than in plastic bottles. Even if Coca-Cola's spokespeople claim that their Coke tastes the same regardless of the packaging. Food chemist Sara Risch told Popular Science that there can be a subtle variation in taste when your drink is in an aluminum can, or a plastic or glass bottle.

"While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur," she explained. Aluminum cans, for example, have a polymer lining, and it might absorb some soluble flavor from the soda. When it comes to plastic bottles, a chemical named acetaldehyde can find its way into your drink as well.

And while it might sound alarming, there's no need to think that it's harmful. Public health departments track this kind of potential chemical contact. So the only thing we should worry about is the slightly different taste.

Next up, the Big Mac debate. People have been saying for a while that the meat patty has been getting smaller and smaller throughout the years. It's a popular theory on social media, with posts on Quora and Reddit, and even TikToks where people call out the fast-food chain for the now-tiny patties.

What officially is the Big Mac? According to the McDonald's site, it's two "100% beef" patties, a special sauce, and a sesame seed bun. It also has "pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, finely chopped onion, and a slice of American cheese." And while the official photos look quite nice, the burger often looks different in reality.

A McDonald's spokesperson denies these rumors and told Yahoo News Australia that the size of the burgers has not changed. Interestingly, a former McDonald's corporate chef went on to TikTok to explain why the Quarter Pounder might have shrunken down. He says it comes down to the fast-food chain giant wanting to cut costs and make the burgers more affordable.

McDonald's can make their burgers cheaper in some ways. One of them is to mix some frozen beef into fresh patties. However, at least in the U.S., McDonald's prides itself on never using frozen meat. That said, there might be loopholes where a certain percentage of frozen beef might be acceptable.

Another way to make the patties cheaper (and possibly smaller) is to reduce the lean-to-fat ratio. "If the fatty beef portions are cheaper than the lean portions, then they can actually make a fattier beef patty still hitting the appropriate weights. But when you cook it, more of that fat is released and you might have a smaller-looking patty," the former chef Mike Haracz explained.

“My Dad Might Be Alive”: 50 Things People Are 100% Certain Are True Despite Having No Evidence I'm 100% positive my sister died of covid before covid was supposed to be in my state.

We had something really bad going around in the fall of 2019 and the Winter of 2020. It sent many people to the hospital with pneumonia or breathing difficulties. Several customers at my place of work were diagnosed with COPD even though they never smoked. Others coughed up blood. My coworker came to work sick as a dog in January 2020 and I sat across from him at lunch along with another coworker. The next week I got sicker than I have ever been. My sister and her husband also got very ill even though we hadn't been in contact. I could barely breathe and had to sleep for 3 days leaning upright on the back of the couch. I was so ill I almost broke down and went to the ER even though at the time I was uninsured and never went to the doctor. My coworker that I got it from went to the doctor and they did a test for the flu but it came back negative. The other coworker that sat beside me at lunch also got sick and she too came back negative for influenza. A week later my sister and her husband fell ill and ended up at the doctors office. They both tested negative for influenza.

Two days after my sister went to the doctor, she got out of bed and fell dead to the floor. That was February 18th, 2020. We assumed she had a heart attack, the cause of death was a heart attack only because of the sudden death and her history of having a heart attack a few decades before. No autopsy was done and she was cremated. This was about the same time Covid showed up on the West coast. We live in North Carolina and no covid was supposed to be in the state at that time. My coworker that got it the same time I did had a brother who also had it and ended up in the hospital with a very virulent pneumonia (tested negative for influenza) and died the same day my sister did.

I swear to this day my sister and my coworker's brother both died of covid but no proof and no way to prove it.

That's a very well known tactic, no conspiracy here. Disney included the character in movie logos and made merchandise because they are turning it into a trademark instead of a intellectual property. IPs expire and go into public domain, trademarks do not but are limited in scope and application; also, the protections granted are different. Disney is trying to convert the expired protection into a new, enforceable one, hoping to limit the availability of the character either through proper brand protection or through "scare tactics": this kind of conversion is a gray area, so if you want to use the character for anything you may be into uncharted waters. Are your pocket deep enough to go to war with Disney Legal, or is it better not to take the gamble?

The only people who saw his body are one of my aunts and my grandma who had Alzheimer’s. They told us he was cremated and at the funeral there was no coffin, no urn, all there was was a black and white photo from when he was 10 (he was born in the 50’s). I’ve yet to see his urn or death certificate and it’s been 12 years. He had connections to people who could have easily helped him fake his death, he also had the money to do this. People have also supposedly seen him in Indiana (they took a picture and tbh the guy looks just like him only a bit older, same hunchback, same tattoo on his leg, and he even walked with the same little limp).

There is something beyond this material life. A week before my mom died she told me that "I have to go home soon, but you have to stay here". As she was actively dying she kept waving, as if to people, and once even told me to move out of my chair, as if I was blocking her view. I pondered this once in a while ever since; and then I came upon " Hospice nurse julie(I think that's her name; I know it started with a J) on tiktok. She simply describes, without religious or any other bias, the process of dying that she has witnessed. Apparently, a dying person often says that they are going home, and also says that they see lost loved ones and even pets who intimate or even say outright not to worry, and that they will help the dying person pass, as much as a month before they die.

She claimed to have a Bachelors in interior design but didn't know how to do square footage. She was also an alcoholic and addict on suboxone who would drink in the office bathroom. She also claimed to be pregnant, which we all knew was bs. During this pregnancy she said she went to ER they found cysts and they went in and removed them, somehow going around said baby. She also had hemorrhaging another time, she screenshot ultrasound pics and made up so many stupid lies, she even began to excentuate her booze belly instead of hiding it and would rub it often. 🤣 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

My parents dated in high school, my mom said that she felt like her daughter, and people in high school suspected that she was my parent’s as my mom transferred schools for a year and went back a year later with a baby sister who looked like her except she had my dads curly hair.

This was in the late 60s where my mom of all people said it was common for the parents of the mom to raise a high schoolers kid as their own.

My parents always helped her more than other family. My mom helped her through her divorce, my dad paid her mortgage when she got laid off.

Depends on the recycling.

Plastic though? The best (as in, least bad) option is to burn it unfortunately.

“My Dad Might Be Alive”: 50 Things People Are 100% Certain Are True Despite Having No Evidence Something in my old elementary school is causing people to get cancer.

I lived in a small town, right around 4,000 people. I went to the private Catholic school in the area which was even smaller, I graduated with 15 in my class and there were less than 300 students total at the time. Despite this very small amount of people, 6 students and faculty members have been diagnosed with cancer over the past 5 years. The odds are so unbelievably slim that I’m sure something cancer causing is in the building, but who knows what or where it is.

The odds of six people out of hundreds developing cancer in a five year period—in a small town where everyone knows everyone else's business—are not at all unbelievably slim. I don't know how many of these were adults or how old they were, but 40% of people eventually develop cancer, and about 1/250–300 kids are diagnosed with cancer. I also don't know if any of the children were related, what kind of cancer was involved... It's unfortunate and unlucky, but not indicative of a contaminant.

I think that they bought out designs for electric cars and stopped them getting them made. But I also believe that the tech at the time was just that - tech from that time. If you implemented some of the designs people would not be impressed because they're 20, 40 or 100 years out of date. Just as an example, they had electric cars before the Model T, but they were rubbish compared to modern ones in terms of performance, battery life etc. And of course the infrastructure to support them just didn't exist. What would be interesting is if they'd proceeded along those lines. How far advanced would electric vehicles be if development hadn't stalled for nearly a 100 years.

I will swear up and down for the rest of my life that i have a great uncle who was locked away in an insane asylum. All the facts fit! He was most likely born in about 1940, and since my family has owned the house we live in since the 1800s, he lived here. i think I must have his bedroom. I found a box with a journel and a few pictures that were enough to convince me he was probably abused by my great grandpa(he was a pretty s****y guy from everything my grandma says) and also most likely gay. Grandpa being the a*****e he was, sent his oldest son away to an insane asylum so he wouldn't stain the family legacy. My poor great uncle died there at around 26. Grandma is geting pretty old and will occasionally tell me stories involving an older brother. According to the rest of the family, she never had an older brother. So either my grandma hallucinated a brother untill she was 9, or he was sent to an insane asylum. I'm planning on check public birth and death reccords to be sure.
