The ‘Weird Facts’ Instagram project eventually grew so large that its founder decided to branch out and create a trivia learning app. There are over 900 random, interesting, and genuine facts that you can learn and then wow your friends and family over dinner with. Some trivia might sound strange, true, but it’s all been double and triple-checked by ‘Weird Facts.’
Bored Panda has analyzed the topics of media literacy and how we can distinguish between true and false facts in quite a lot of detail before. Last week, I spoke to Steven Wooding, who is a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom, who elaborated on what kind of mindset a true, curious, impartial scientist ought to have.
"Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," Steven told Bored Panda during an interview.
"We have to be open-minded to new facts and let data guide the way, rather than just what we think. On the other hand, we should also be critical of data. One experiment doesn’t make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over."
According to the researcher, the advent of internet newsfeeds and platforms like TikTok and Twitter has shortened our attention spans. As a result, we tend to have a lower tolerance for long-form content that requires more focus and energy from us.
This is wholesome for the father and daughter. But it's sad on so many levels. Not only is this discrimination against single and gay parents, but they are also treating disabled children with so much disregard. I'm happy for the father, but there is so much to ponder about here.
"If you feel you are time-pressured, it’s probably only natural that you don’t want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it’s something that genuinely interests me," he said that on the one hand, we’re saving time, but on the other hand, we’re staying at a very superficial level of information.
"The negative impact is that we won’t reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven told Bored Panda.
Forget just letting him off the hook - he deserves a goddamn medal for that.
All pedophiles should start their jail sentences with a beating from the families of the children they rape.
Load More Replies...He did go to trial, the Jury found him not guilty despite him admitting to it.
WRONG! I’m an attorney, and I think you’re making a mistake many people make about the term “grand jury.” It’s not a trial. It’s a group of people who make a decision about whether or not there is enough evidence or reason to go to trial.
Load More Replies...Anyone caught in the act of raping a 5 year old (or any child), needs to be beaten to death, and make sure they are conscious enough to feel the blows until their final breath. Just thinking about this makes me want to cry. That poor little child!!!
Should be done to all rapists, not just paedophiles !
Load More Replies...Any parent would do the same thing, even if the parent had to go to jail! Anyone who abuses any child should be punished severely. Hooray for this dad.
No. You'd be amazed at how often it's actually the parents who molest the child. Or it'll be something like they tell their mom that her new boyfriend touched them and the mom will find a way to blame the daughter- "You're a liar. You're a s**t, you tempted him. You just want me to be lonely, etc." The scariest thing about child molestation is how often people will protect the perpetrators and how badly people want to believe that it happens as a part of some conspiracy rather than simply the adults who have access to the child- including family.
Load More Replies...In case anyone's wondering, he caught the rapist in the act. The reason he faces no charges is because Texas allows the use of deadly force to stop sexual assault. So if you're in Texas and happen upon someone raping another, feel free to kill the m**o..
However sympathetic one has to be with this man, it's not a good sign when the judicial system does not at least bring this to court. It's the judicial system's responsibility to be "blind" and judge everything on a neutral basis.
It's called jury nullification. It is a feature and not a flaw of trial by jury of your peers. It's working as intended. A judge can overrule this with a directed verdict but a directed verdict conviction is very appealable. Prior too the civil war, jury nullification was widely used to invalidate the fugitive slave act. During prohibition, it was frequently used to overturn prohibition laws. BUT during jim crow, it was also used to prevent convicting white men crimes against blacks (see lynching).
Load More Replies...Nobody deserves that! But the rapist got what he deserved!!! Finally a wise decision from Texas!!
Load More Replies...I'd do the same. And if I was a jury in his case, I would give him no charges as well.
Unfortunately child rapist are not eligible for death penalty. Most of the USA just gives them a few years, releases them and puts them on a website so the public can be aware, free to roam and hurt more people. Rape crimes are not punished appropriately, but watch out if you evade taxes or lie about your address so your child can get into a better school. No wonder this man took justice upon himself to carry out.
Everyone is commenting on the father and the rapist and, I think I'm glad no one's mentioned the little girl with any degree of specifics. When I think of that's child's pain and terror...well I just can't go too far down that road. Stories like this haunt me for days, weeks. I just don't understand how people can do things like this to children. Or anyone.
Invested some time in social work for terribly abused children. Each social worker had > 100 cases, and maximum was supposed to be 25. It's worse now. People would be horrified to learn the extent of this crime against humanity.
Load More Replies...At first I thought that a father who raped daughter faced no charges then I read it again and realized it was awesome and not terrible
The amount of people defending the pedophile is disgusting. You people need some help!
People aren't defending the paedophile, they are questioning the morality of the father beating him to death.
Load More Replies...Good! I would do the same if anyone hurt my children!! The father deserves compensation, not condemnation!
Just FYI, this isn't a photo of the father in the story. That father was 24 years old. The guy in the cowboy hat is the Lavaca County sheriff.
Thanks, I was thinking dad looked a bit old to have 5 year old.
Load More Replies...Meanwhile, a woman who shot her sex trafficker to death who raped her daily, is spending years in jail.
That particular case is incredibly unfair and there are groups of people out there actively working to try to free that woman and get her conviction overturned.
Load More Replies...This is one time when I cannot find fault with eye for an eye (and Texas as well). I’m not a violent person, but if she was my child—-hell, even if she wasn’t!—-I very well would’ve have done the exact same thing. Everyone has their line in the sand, and cruelty of all kinds, especially when inflicted on those who truly cannot defend themselves, makes me see red.
In some jurisdictions, it's a case of "jury nullification". Basically, the jury is admitting that the crime happened (the man killed his daughter's rapist) but the jury believes that the charges (murder) were applied in an unjust manner. I don't believe Texas recognizes jury nullification, but there are other examples of this happening in Canada and the US.
IICR a young girl witnessed the abduction, alerted the father, he pull the rapist off, and beat him up to the point of near-death. 911 audio revealed the father called for help and tried to save the little girl's attacker, but the ambulance crew had difficulty because of the remote location. All, except the deceased, names were withheld to keep the victim's identity secret. Even though Texas' law covered this situation, it should be noted that the father had hired the man, which was in his employ at the time, and he tried to save the man's life.
It’s great that they tried to protect the victim’s identity…I just hope that’s NOT a picture of the dad. It doesn’t say “not actual photo.”
Load More Replies...True...but my hubby would have done this in a heartbeat and has never stepped foot in Texas. Don't mess with dads who love their daughters!!!
Load More Replies...Remember many father's also molest their own daughters and go unpunished.
It should be a law that a person is allowed to be beaten to death when a man rapes or molests children . Why? Why can’t we do this more often? More than half of these pieces of s**t get away with it and just go on sucking oxygen from the planet. If not , than castration should be preformed. I am a nurse who had been left a piece of s**t child raper to care for as a patient. It sickened me. He fell, cracked his head open . I’m glad he is dead.. I laughed while he laid there bleeding . I laughed while he was dying , and I still laugh to this very day. I have 1 regret though. I wish that I had poured his own urine in his eyes as he layed there. 1 less piece of s**t on this planet.
Good for you! There is nothing I love more than the world supporting someone’s love and protection of their family
The reason he wasn't charged, according to the story: "Under the law in the state of Texas deadly force is authorized and justified in order to stop an aggravated sexual assault or sexual assault," District Attorney Heather McMinn told reporters. https://abcnews.go.com/US/charges-texas-father-beat-death-daughters-molester/story?id=16612071
As a society, I really think that peados that rape children should be put to death. It makes literally no sense to keep them alive.
Can I respectfully disagree and say people all have a chance to be rehabilitated and we shouldn’t mess up and be the new Hammurabi’s with all the killing and such
Load More Replies...I think there should be a law protecting people like this dad so the daughter doesn't have to lose her dad after such a traumatic experience for her. This is the best thing I've ever heard about Texas law enforcement
I was a victim of incest so I know how cruel this world can be and how little girls are targeted. I don't want anyone's child to have to deal with something like that. Even if it wasn't my daughter and I witnessed that, I'd kill him with my bare hands. I wouldn't think twice.
As well he should. That's justice. He effed up the bastard that hurt his kid.
First time I've ever agreed with Texas. But if a pregnancy resulted, they'd make the poor child give birth. I'll still never set foot in the state.
Some people get what they deserve in Texas and it’s recognized as A-ok under the circumstances. Gotta ❤️ TX justice!
If there is no doubt,if it was proven that a piece of filth disguised as a human being raped that man's little girl,all I can say is that the rapist got what he deserved.
An anonymous post on FB once said a man slit the throat of the man who raped his 16 year old daughter and got away with it. Afterwards, the police found evidence of multiple other rapes in the deceased's house. The father said, "I spent 8 years in jail and never regretted one moment."
so he should NOT be charged raping a 5year old or any one else is bad enough but your 5 year old daughter is unforgivable I would have done the same kill the bastard
Yes let all dads do the same to these offenders who rape their children, they walk away with little or no jail time. Scum of the earth.
I wonder what might have been the outcome, for a daughter of his, if she had been ten years old, and impregnated by her rapist....
Gods bless him and the people in court who let home face no charges. Let those blessing carry on into the afterlife.
That’s f***ed up. Who rapes a five year old girl? All kudos to the dad, he’s amazing!
Texas allows you to use deadly force to stop a rape. The reason he was found not guilty is he caught the man mid attack and it is legal to kill him to stop the assault. Also, the average pedophile assaults 120 children. So who knows how many kids were saved.
Here's one for you. My child was molested several times by a relative. Our then governor, Jennifer Granholm-sound familiar?- released him 14 years early because she considered him a non-violent offender. He is serving his 3rd sentence for sexually molesting children. If he hadn't been released by Granholm, he would still be serving his original sentence..
This man is hero, but its so sad that people feel the need to mention that he didnt face charges. Also who the hell is sexually attracted to a five year old? their practically still babies.
Yes sir! You are a hero! Your daughter will have struggles with this over the years. But you have taught her, you will always love and protect her. Get her into counseling. And know you are the best best dad in the world!
Kills a rapist whose also a paedophile? There shouldn't even have been a question about charges. He did the entire world a solid performing that pest control
There is SO MUCH MORE to this story! He tried to save the man when he realized how badly injured he was. Even driving him to the EMTs who couldn't find the address.
Fantastic. In the last 10 to 20 years justice seems to favour the perpetrator and not the victim. Anyone who can do that to a five year old deserves everything they get. That child will probably never be able to have children, and may even have a damaged bladder and bowel. With the death sentence they normally get at least another 20 years alive. Not this time.
Yet there are 2 boys and their friend (all 3 are latino) in jail for murdering their mothers boyfriend. The mom's boyfriend was repeatedly raping their little sister and this happened in Texas as well. Makes you wonder 🤔
Yet there are 3 boys who killed their mother boyfriend, for repeatedly raping their little sister. This happened in Texas as well, hmm.
Just think if you were the father of a young girl. What would you do??? 👍👍👍
Makes me proud,once again,to live in Texas....If dad hadn't gotten him,the inmates would have.
Uhh yes! I concur ! I just read in the news about a man that was killed by his cell mates.. His charge? He strangled the minutes old baby because he didn't want to deal with another child.. there is more to this story (none of it pleasant) so if you Google it just be warned... It is very upsetting and anxiety and anger inducing because of what this POS did
The five yr old didn't kill the rapist so it's not self defence. The dad protected her so it's a crime of passion. Kids have died after being raped because of STD's and damage to the body.
I saw this online when it first went to trial. Not guilty because it's 'A crime of passion'. If you walked in on a man raping your daughter, you'd do the same thing. If you shoot a man who you caught breaking into your home, it's the same. It's sort of like self defence.
It is a great story about how he got what he deserved but the sad thing is that kid still has that memory and it would be traumatizing to think that she has to remember that feeling and day
Wow, after reading all the posts of kindness and altruism it's quite a shock to arrive at this. So most people here believe in vigilante justice. I am reminded of Emmett Till, the 14 year old black boy who winked at a white store clerk. He was beaten, tortured, shot in the back and thrown in the river. It's a historical event in the long tragedy of what people can do when they feel outraged. Lots of black men have been beaten or lynched because white men determined they had a right to deal out vigilante justice. You know they have trials in the U.S. because a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. The father took it upon himself to beat the man to death. Is that how you really want crimes to be settled? Vigilante justice determined by the offended person. Maybe you don't care about this one. But you may do something to someone that they think they have the right to get justice from you, on their terms. Would you like that?
Did u bother to READ what happened? The rapist was in the act of raping the 5 yr old daughter when the father caught him & began beating him. What that has to do w/an underaged "black boy" (I'm quoting u) being viciously murdered, I don't understand. To stop a sexual assault is not a form of vigilante justice. If u saw a man raping a 5 yr old child -ur child- would u intervene or just call a cop?
Load More Replies...She’s 5!!!!! That should be normal! (Beat the a*****e, not the raping.)
I hope the boys who did the same to their step-dad for raping their sister last month get the same treatment
If there ever was an excusable reason to murder someone... this would be it. I mean, if you hurt a child... why do you deserve to have the same rights as the rest of us? You don't. That should be the one exception to human rights. You rape or hurt a child and you forfeit any rights you have. You made the choice to take a child's life.. whether by rape or by murder. You had a choice and you made the wrong one.. now you deserve to face the consequences and one of those consequences should be a beating by the parents of said child. If someone hurt one of my step daughters and got away with it... I would forfeit my freedom to ensure he never hurt another child ever again. Pedophiles don't change. Once they act on those urges they don't stop. They escalate. There's hundreds of statistics and studies to back me up. So the odds are that he WOULD have done it again, if he hadn't already and he WOULD escalate his crimes in order to conceal them.
As it should be, in all seriousness I don't have kids but if that happened to my 3 year old niece, I would kill the guy just to stop my brother doing it first and have my niece also lose her dad to prison.
Yes, it did, because we need to take murder seriously, and be really sure the reason is justified. In fact, one of the biggest problems in America is not enough cases (by percent, not by total number) going to trial.
Load More Replies...I remember this. Pretty much everyone across the country was on his side. He was a rancher who hired a guy to work for him. He actually caught the guy in the act of assaulting his daughter.
The irony that ranchers are just as brutal as this to cows on the regular. Got to get milk as early and long as possible!
Load More Replies...I wouldn't charge him either. I don't think any decent cop, prosecutor or judge would want to.
I really struggle with that one. I completely understand why he did what he did, but by the same token, the law exists to prevent vigilante justice. He should have been given some kind of community service at the very least. But yeah, if someone did that to my baby, I can't say I would respond any differently.
Anyone who didn´t read "A time to kill" by John Grisham, should. Nobody should ever be punished for something like this. That´s just "taking out the trash".
Thank God he didnt get any time. He definitely did exactly what he should have. GREAT DAD !!!
Should have been beaten, stabbed, drowned, shot, burned, disemboweled, and then shot up into space to be hit by an asteroid, all while being alive.
Because vigilante justice outside the legal system is justified by rage and grief.
Why would he face charges? If that was my daughter I'd have taking him apart piece by piece.
But let's force rape victims to have their rapist's, right? Everything makes sense in Texas
Him having to go to court at all shouldn't have happened. Great father.
searching for the comment of the liberal who wants justice for the rapist....
Would this have been the outcome if the father had been a Black man?
so as far as I recall from the story it wasn't that he wasn't charged because his 'victim' rapes his daughter but that he actually did everything in his power to save the guys life. He caught the guy mid-attack and in a rage beat the man nearly to death then realised he was about to kill a guy, called for emergency serviced and did what he could to stop the bleeding but the ambulance took too long to come. It wasn't that he was 'rewarded' for killing a child rapist just that his initial outburst was understandable, unlikely to be repeated, and again, he really did try to save the guy's life. He didn't kill a guy in a blaze of fury he was a much bigger person than that which is even more incredible.
In general l do believe in giving people a second chance, EXCEPT for Paedophiles!!! I seriously don't understand how when someone has shown themselves to be a Career Criminal and Multiple time Convicted Paedophile how do they keep getting Early Release etc. The Cops do their job and get frustrated when the judges give them a light sentence and while l understand there are Paedophiles in All sorts of jobs, for f***s sake, just put them in with the Lifers for awhile who have kids and grandkids, they may get a touch of justice!!!👍🌹💜🇦🇺🙏🕳️
sooo... does this mean i won't get any charges for assassinating pedophiles
Ohh I read it wrong, now I realise that is a GREAT thing we’ll done ♥️
Are you a cho-mo? Huh? You like to f**k kids? You seem too willing to give your sidekicks a pass. Which puts you in an awkward place. So, I'm curious. Are you a pedophile? Cuz you seem to wanna defend against "bloodlust" why is that a bad thing? ...unless you're one of them
Load More Replies...Bout time! I honestly see no other punishment & for the scumbucket to have waited in prison for a trial + sentence (where everything needed to live would have been provided daily) would’ve been wrong on so many levels… although I’m sure after his crime had gotten around, the other inmates most likely would’ve had him begging for death, well maybe so again I’ve gotta say, “kudos to you sir, kudos indeed!”
Cool. I'm going to push for a law that allows families of people murdered by police to just beat the cop to death. Martial law! Yeet yeet!
A waste of taxpayers money taking him to court, should have shook his hand at the police station and said good job.
Good! There are good reasons to murder, and that is certainly one of them. Yay Texas!!
Exactly! Regardless of where or who...no sane person would find guilty!
Ok, so why was he arrested? And mind you that I worked in law enforcement for almost 7 years.
Emotionally. I get it. But, we must live by the rule of law. It may seem unjust, at times. However, it is still the best legal way of doing things.
That's awesome. Kudos to this father for getting rid of another child rapist!!! I just realized a few months ago that I'm married to a serial child rapist! I'm in the process of getting a divorce and having him prosecuted for his crimes!! His father is also a rapist. (Both already have true bills) There hasn't really been any coverage about it bc the family has money, and unfortunately sometimes money buys your freedom here on earth. The victim has a lifetime mental sentence. These rapists will not always be able to use their money to get out of things.
i would make the dead man's family pay charges to *him*, he legit deserves it
As it should be. Someone rapes your children you get to be the judge, jury and executioner
Should have stopped just short of beating him to death maybe but good for him. Rape is a life sentence for victims.
It seems that some parts of the wrld, do the right thing, also, if the man lived, some courts, lock him up, rehabilitation, does not work, all courts should understand this, men who rape, never change, it's a fact !!!
But if it were a woman, she'd get the chair or life with no parole
I would really like our too lenient laws to be changed to castrate men for raping anyone !!! Then maybe these types would really think about the consequences for this !!
IF everyone takes the law into their own hands, the World would be in a real mess.
PERFECT! Men who rape DESTROY a part of the person my harm—most of them for life! Our sick non-justice system punishes Blacks & Chicanos with life sentences for drugs! And let rapes go with light sentences! This contributes to the intense rages a parent experience—the sick feels they must also carry forever. He has save other children by his action
I agree with the court. Justice served. But how many of these stories at BoredPanda are just faked? I wonder!
Nah just pit the rapist in jail, he will be killed by the inmates, because if you didn't know in prison rape is one of the most gruesome crimes even murderers are looked upon more favorably. And the murderers are really likely to kill pedophile, rapists, and child rapists.
As he should have!! I would have bear him to death, dragged him to the gates of hell and threw him into the deepest pit!!! He deserve the dad of the year award! The highest taking the trash out award! A million dollars for each blow and a bonus million and a half for taking that scum's last breath!!!
WAIT SORRY I THOUGHT IT SAID HE WOULD FACE NO CHARGES FOR MURDERING A MAN AND RAPING HIS FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER MY BAD
Load More Replies...Still needs to take off his hat inside! No gentleman or cowboy would wear a hat indoors.
There's too many stories from Texas where the rapists also faced no charges.
Every single person who sexually violates children must be removed from society permanently. They will reoffend if they have access to children. While I, personally, would want to beat to death anyone who raped my child, as a society we really do need to take offending paedophiles out of society forever. Even rich ones, like Epstein and Maxwell and Elvis Presley and Steven Tyler, etc al.
Some pedophiles don't ever get caught, or their sentences don't match their crime. Beat their assess, sure, they will heal from that- and if they die from it, well, I think they should get the death penalty, so I feel justice has been served. But that little girl will carry the trauma of the rape all of her life- it will shape who she becomes as an adult. The rapist isn't the victim here. And yes, I live in Texas.
I'm glad the guy got his just desserts but innocent people that have been falsely accused and then beaten and killed
He walked in on them and witnessed the act and acted immediately. He didn't hear about it and then seek him out.
Load More Replies...its baffling this was even case-worthy. i know, the justice system and all, but come on. a pedophile was killed after hurting a FIVE YEAR OLD. did the city really had to waste resources setting up the court, paying the jury, etc, FOR THIS??? knowing full well no judge or jury would find fault in this???
Some low life lawyer would take the case against him - and in the uk, he’d win
What do you think send a more powerful message? Everyone looks the other way and pretend the rapist feel down the stairs. OR. The government prosecutes for murder, the father admits beating the man to death, and the jury delivers a not guilty verdict.
Load More Replies...Hard disagree. What if he was wrong about the identity of the guilty party? How many lynchings were done under the flimsy pretext of revenge for something like this that didn't actually happen? The man should have been punished by the law, not by vigilante justice.
Well Texas has issues.. But we already knew that with warren jwffs of the FLDS. All types of crimes against children including rape and incest -this "gem" lives in prison- and still controls his sector I wonder if Texas knows what justice is. Killers roam free and child molesters get posh jail cells 🤦🏽♀
I totally disagree. It's saying violence is ok. This should of been left to the proper authorities. I would of hauled his a*s to jail. What if the guy was innocent? We only have his word that his daughter was raped by this man. This is wrong on so many levels.
Hell yeah!! If it were up to the goddamn liberal idiots he'd of been charged with murder.
I read this as "father raped his daughter, faces no charges" and I was like *bruh"
Yeah, we should definitely have more vigilante justice. Maybe we should just get rid of courts all together and just leave it to angry men.
We have to be careful about this. Letting emotions take over issues. where there are laws in place,, may result in anarchy spiralling out of our control. The laws are there for a purpose. Let justice do its job.
Read somewhere a Governor of Texas who was in office right after the Civil War said this about the State: "If I owned Texas,and I owned Hell, I'd live in Hell and rent out Texas". Guess civilization has yet to enter the Lone Star State.
I can understand the actions of the man, and the verdict, and in this particular situation (walking in on the act) I would likely have done the same. But damn, these comment are filled with a lust for vigilante violence. And no distinction at all between passive pedophiles who didn't ask for this urge, know it's wrong and don't act on it, and active pedosexuals. Scary stuff. And violentely killing active pedosexuals is not 'cool' or something to celebrate. Ever consider that pedosexuals became that way because they started out as victims themselves? They must be stopped by all means, but It's tragedy and pain all around,. and being violent and sadistic just adds more misery.
As cool as it is that a raper is dead we still have laws against killing. Sounds to me like justice doesn't exist in Texas.
So one gets to kill rapists now? Is there an age limit on the raped? Can I kill my 16-year-old daughters boyfriend - who is 19 - for statutory rape? What about if my wife talks back to me? Can I take her tongue? If she cheats on me can I stone her to death?
As right as that may sound, it also means that in Texas law is subjective. You can get charged or dismissed based on the personal opinion of your judge. Not that good when you think about it...
I don't want to get too graphic, but yes, the father caught the man in the act. Someone linked a news article above.
Load More Replies...Your sweeping statements are scary. You don't know as much as you think you do. This is NOT a comment in defence of pedophiles, but a comment pushing back against "I know everything about this subject" posts on the internet. You do NOT know. And you're advocating mass death for a group you don't know about. That's f*****g scary however awful these people are.
Load More Replies...As a victim as of sexual assault, I am positive that justice was indeed served.
Load More Replies...I imagine they examined the child and got evidence first.
Load More Replies..."It’s essential to have a growth mindset and realize that you probably know very little. We can only gain more profound knowledge of the world by investing time in exploring it. This issue goes back to short attention spans, which gives us a broad, but shallow spread of knowledge. Take the time to read a book on a subject, and you are bound to learn more," the expert gave some advice, urging everyone to build their patience for content that isn’t just bite-sized.
Meanwhile, entertainment and pop culture expert Mike Sington from Hollywood explained to me that there’s a broad range of red flags we have to look out for that might indicate that a fact or a source might be unreliable.
"Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, ‘this can't be true,'" Mike told shared with Bored Panda.
"The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," the expert said that one basic thing we can do to check the reliability of a fact is… to start off with a simple and humble Google search. We should be on the lookout for additional sourcing and evidence. If we can’t find anything, we should remain skeptical.
"Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn’t make a claim true or accurate," he said.
an article from oct. 2021 : “physical wounds were healing, but the (post-traumatic stress disorder) is manifesting itself more all the time.”. The most beautiful is his response after accepting shooter's apology : “I am not God to make the decision to kill him or not. That’s not my decision. My decision is to be a better person and to change the world for every kid. I don’t want this to happen to anybody again. It hurts. It hurts. It really hurts. So, I am just going to keep going. That’s it.”
Mike said that sources like Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times can be considered to be trustworthy. "They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They’re basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can’t be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," he told Bored Panda.
"Our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds at a time because that’s the way information and entertainment is fed to us now. People get tiny bite-sized bits of news by scrolling a Twitter feed, they entertain themselves by scrolling quickly through Instagram and TikTok. It’s creating a habit that doesn’t have to be," he said.
Honesty is the best policy and pay off!!! So thankful for this lady's kindness to help make a change in this mans life. Very wholesome
"The good news is there’s plenty of long-form entertainment and news available, you just have to seek it out. I believe the benefit is worth it. I’ve discovered it improves your ability to focus, it’s more calming, you retain more information, and it gives you a more balanced and nuanced view of the world.”
Dangerous but good for one health as a result. Glad he was okay afterwards.
I read a novel once which opens with a pony getting stuck in the sand at the beach. The owner and her mother end up going "oh well, whatcha gonna do", shrugging and going home, leaving the poor thing to its fate! Then when they come back the next day and find out someone else has rescued the poor animal and taken it away they actually have the gall to be upset about it. I was so infuriated I stopped reading and never finished the book.
At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. Although the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of their work are incorporated into Bluetooth and GPS technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi.This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.
Good for you Dad! Glad he recovered. The gun was a little much but...it saved his life.
Yet again, an amazing human. It's just sad that for every Bob Ross, we get 200 eejits.
This was very interesting! Such a good early morning read. Thanks for sharing!
Such beautiful stories give a fresh counter balance to regular news. Thank you :)
You did a great job, Jonas. The best comment was the from the person pointing out that the forest/woods weren't infested with bears and wolves, they lived there! I laughed out so loud I woke my baby up!!! So fact or fiction, it was an absolute good time for this insomniac! Thanks for that!
Hit some highs and lows for me emotionally. Great light read. Full of meaningfulness and life. Love bored panda!!
Gosh. I sure wish there was something called Fact Checking to make sure things you call facts are actually true. I wish there was SOME way to make sure before publishing a list of facts. Sigh. Oh well. Guess we'll all just have to keep assuming everything in print is true, eh?

#24 So... she didn't give the guy $4000 HERSELF but rather asked strangers to make her look good... yeah, great achievement~ 😕 #44 Haha isn't this playboy story depicts what's happening right now? Critical race theory, quotas for LGBT in different spheres (it's rather hypocritical for the community striving for equality to hire ppl/giveout subsidies based on their sexual orientation and not on their skills/financial situation). Being straight isn't cool the media tells us, and if you're white - you're de facto racist (even if you're a kid)~
As was mentioned in comments, I didn’t need to cry today. Or perhaps 🤔 I did.
You published this message that is completely FALSE : …Meanwhile, entertainment and pop culture expert Mike Sington from Hollywood explained to me that there’s a broad range of red flags we have to look out for that might indicate that a fact or a source might be unreliable."Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, ‘this can't be true,'" Mike told shared with Bored Panda. Proven: The CIA admitted that US spies/diplomats aren't being attacked by foreign adversaries. "Havana Syndrome" is mass hysteria.Here are the top corporate media outlets that spread this bogus conspiracy theory, from the NYT to CNN, Fox to Guardian, AP to BBC:
I read about how our attentionspan has kind of shortened, and this morning on childrens tv channel I noticed the the "shows" are mostly less than 5 minutes long. Yesterday I was in school with 6 year olds. They were watching a movie for children and the teacher stopped it, and asked did they wanted a break or view the rest. They unanimously asked to view on without any break. It makes me think.
Totally love these types of reads .. I have adhd so little facts and different information totally kept me wanting to see what was the next fact info
The best entries are those that show how easy it is to do good to a fellow human being. Let the lesson not be lost.
This list is cool, but one thing that I've learned is that pictures with said events are not usually telling the whole story or/are completely false.
I find it interesting that the article talks about shortt attention span and shallow understanding of a topic while condensing factoids into the very thing the article criticizes.
