You go ladies! Can you imagine not being able to go to a soccer game just because you’re female?
Despite the educational value interesting facts promise to deliver us, it’s important to remember to double-check them and the sources they are coming from. This is because fake news spreads six times faster on social media than real facts. By trying to generate as many clicks as possible or even influence political views, it can be particularly dangerous.
In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Daniel Markuson, the cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, said that although there’s no foolproof method to separate truth from fiction, the best thing to be safe is to check the source’s credibility. “This particularly applies to social media platforms because they are optimized to increase engagement and lack appropriate gatekeeping features that filter out misinformation.”
Daniel argues that it’s vital to weigh the claims against other sources. “If a publication makes monumental claims that are exclusive to that platform, do not take them at face value."
It’s important to be aware that unreliable news sources sometimes impersonate well-known ones by misspelling their names in the URL.
“Similarly, they might use unconventional domain extensions instead of the usual “.com” or “.org.” In general, make sure that your news comes from established, well-known sources. These types of outlets get information directly from primary sources and must uphold their reputation,” Daniel told us a while ago.

There were a lot of unexpected heroes during lockdown, and he was definitely one of them. He made sure his students, and others, received the nutrition they needed to stay safe and healthy during their time away from school.
If you’re still not sure whether the source is credible, you may want to look into the author and research them in order to be sure their credibility is up to par.
This, of course, requires extra effort rather than mindlessly devouring information online, but “it is also important to weigh our own perception and not let our biases skew our understanding of events.” Daniel’s advice was to seek out differing opinions and try not to associate facts with ideological dogma.

When asked about the reasons why fake news has become so widespread, the cybersecurity expert said that it’s “due to factors that concern both the content of the messages and the technological foundation of platforms on which the news is proliferated.”

But they do have 2 babies and deliberately leave the weakest to die (while being bullied by the stronger chick)... saw that on a David Attenborough documentary once and will never forget it. I understand it's just nature but my heart broke for that baby.

That was my same reaction when watching something similar in science class in 6th grade. Except they were masked boobies. Same exact process. The stronger one tosses the younger one out of the nest to die. Mother doesn't do a thing to help.

Okay... that's awkward as hell. But they are extremely bizarre looking so I can imagine staring is an effective defense.

I really had to understand this so this is what I found. Yup it definitely works.: How do Shoebills protect themselves? Shoebills are well-known for their 'death stare', fixing their unblinking eyes on other birds or animals that may encroach on their territory, with the aim of scaring them into retreat.

Still not as scary as that one on the other BP "article" with the Pope staring in a classroom window.

Moreover, fake news not only typically involves current affairs but also often makes remarkable and emotion-inducing claims. “This, combined with the fact that social media platforms collect data on what kind of posts users spend the most time on and feed them content with similar characteristics, provides the perfect conditions for the spread of misinformation,” Daniel concluded.

And that's a big part of why some homeless people in the US refuse to go to shelters; their pets will go into overcrowded city and county shelters. For others, the problem is that their kids will be taken. If we're gonna tackle this problem, we have got to start seeing homeless people as PEOPLE, not just trash to be cleaned up.

nope, not an odd chemical reaction. it's basically a diy skylight. in many villages where electricity is scarce, it can be pretty dark in some corners of homes and huts even during the day. so a diy skylight could help solve that problem. you drill/cut a hole the size of a coke bottle, fill it with water, a bit of bleach to keep the water from getting gross (and thus less transparent), and use a construction adhesive to secure the bottle and keep out rain. groups like "liter of light" [https://literoflight.org/] have helped pioneer this method around the world. they also get solar powered lights into the hands of those in need.

People had lots of opinions about these, usually based on old information or no information at all. It took me an average of 30 seconds to look these items up on Google to determine whether they were true or not. The majority of them were perfectly accurate. Only a few were completely or partially fabricated. Now I know a bunch of things I didn't know 15 minutes ago. Funny how that works.
