The channel has some crazy videos. A cat crossing 400 kilometers to go to it's former owner? Unbelievable story, but at the same time - it doesn't hurt anyone.

However, there's lots of videos about animals in terrible conditions. I was just wondering: is it possible to prove with any level of certainty that the stories of that channel are either real or fake?

Subreddit criticism:

pick one: claim being dedicated to taking an objective look at things or have a rule stating the title must have "debunk this" in the title. A truly objective approach would present all sides of an issue without bias, whereas the rule creates agenda and bias from the get go. Objective and skeptical look at things are not one and the same, I feel like whoever wrote that subreddit description and rule doesn't think so.

One weird claim is the person claiming to see things happening miles away from the hospital. What are the explanations?

The guy that's posted this seems to be an honorable/good person. However there are so many inconsistencies with the video imo. If a scammer is threatening your family, why would you antagonise them more? Also, why would you post a video to inform the scammer of any information you have on him and police departments you've allegedly contacted when you are aware they see your socials? It all just screams fake to me and I'm sure people with understanding of osint maybe would be able to tell if this is a legit scam operation / if mark is making up this whole scammer interaction for a video. Not sure if this is the exact use of this subreddit, but I'm interested in to what others think, feel free to ignore if it's not for you.

I was talking with this lady online and she said she saw a video of a lady saying that she didn’t get trafficked because she had hand tattoos. Now she’s telling people about the video and how it could help other women. I believe this is untrue but can’t find any sources to credit me or even discredit me.

“I saw a video with a woman talking about how her hand tattoos kept her from getting kidnapped and ever since then I’ve been thinking about little finger tats. 😭”

This is the status

This apologetics article tried to assert that logic doesn't physically exist and as such atheism would destroy logic somehow (in the "no reliable rationality" section). I was wondering if there are any physicalist philosophers who have addressed this sort of thinking.

The rest is based on somebody trying to say that evolution lies to you because evolution rewards survival rather than truth. I'm not really concerned with this one because it never displays which evolutionary pressures incentivize anything more than identifiable fallacies and optical illusions, but criticism of this would also be welcome.

I relate to all of this but it feels funny to me and I can't say why. Can you help debunk this, or find flaws in any of these specific points?

Thanks!

This source claims that Stenger is wrong about Planck's constant because of Zeilinger's experiment on quantum wave behavior and that, despite synaptic chemical transmissions being classical, quantum computations are isolated in microtubules. Additionally, the brain supposedly heats up and powers said microtubule quantum states for hundreds of milliseconds.

Pretty sure that this seems more hypothetical than anything, and that it assumes quantum mechanics in the brain creates consciousness when electricity in the brain doesn't make things TVs conscious. Is there anything else to point out?

Is it true? That the food in america is basically THAT noticeably different that whatever is in it is basically adding to your weight?

I found this earlier today, and it's the first I've ever heard of it. I've done extensive searching online and can't find anything corroborating this. I'm not talking about proof, either. I'm saying I've never seen this story (real or not) anywhere before today. It's almost as if the person who shared this fabricated it on the spot.

I guess the biggest claim I saw from skimming the article* that needs to be addressed is that the Miller-Urey experiments only produced some amino acids when performed in newer tests based on newer models of what the environment looked like during the time abiogenesis happened, and that the energy needed to make amino acids would kill them.

*outside of trying to call abiogenesis, the formation of life from similar non-organic chemicals, the same thing as spontaneous generation, the idea that flies come from the dead meat of another animal based on superficial similarity)

I am a lover of Indian classical music but hate when people make absurdist cringe-worthy claims like this one. Found this on Facebook.

Claims include:

• The image on the Cloth coming from electromagnetic radiation.
• Evidence indicates that Jesus "dematerialized" instead of the cloth not wrapping him in the first place.
• Raw data from carbon testing not being definitive and historical research saying it was older than the carbon dating stated.
• Four research papers say carbon dating doesn't work.
• The carbon dating tests used insufficient samples.
• The guy who did the Carbon Dating said that he changed his mind about it being a medieval fraud, instead calling it a crusader (and the site claims this goes against the supernatural evidence).
• The Shroud has anatomical information unknown in the Middle Ages.
• Blood deposits on the shroud are undisturbed.
• The only thing that could discolor the microfibers on linen cloth is a blast of light.

A lot of stuff that's unsourced, would like to see any contradictions though.

So I've been recently looking into losing weight, and i tried asking my parents to get me artifical sweetners so i can reduce on my munchings

Mr.Sunil D.Patil .Pune (Ex.Director Symbiosis.) Forwarded this post in a group which I am forwarding for your knowledge.......... KILLER IN YOUR FRIDGE
SWEET POISON..A MUST READ !!!
In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.
By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying.
She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.
She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.
On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.
I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.
I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her an article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but, she sure felt a lot better.
She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.
Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda.. and literally dying a slow and miserable death
When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as'Nutra Sweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.
I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.
Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!
Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.
This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a lecture, I said, 'If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs,
Cramps,
Vertigo,
Dizziness,
Headaches,
Tinnitus,
Joint pain,
Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!' People were jumping up during the lecture saying,'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?'
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!
Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates.
It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.'
Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE.. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable anger and rage.Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.
So called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed.Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than sugar.'It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.
There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'
Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.
Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED! There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced. Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.'I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.
And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians?
This has been recently exposed in the New York Times. These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products.Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants.
The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioural symptoms.
The bill was killed.It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you're informed now!
Please pass this on to ur family and friends!

There’s lots of videos circulating right now on social media about the purported harm of tap water and how drinking and showering in chlorinated water is harmful as our bodies rapidly absorb mass amounts of chlorine.

I think these people are just trying to sell water filters and make money on people’s fear.

Please debunk the test video below and prove that their test showing chlorine immediately absorbed from the water into our bodies is not true.

I have a relative who sends me emails on various theories that they believe in. This is the latest - us there any truth to this? I googled but could only find dodge links such as this (sorry on mobile and linking isn't working) https://www.rmx.news/germany/secret-documents-reveal-germanys-public-health-agency-warned-lockdowns-cause-more-harm-than-good/

I did see some reports on a law case but nothing else. Can anyone debunk please?

So this guy, Yusuf Abu Hattab, has recently been showing up on my Instagram Reels a lot, claiming he is a Palestinian currently living in the Gaza Strip. At first I watched his videos fascinated by the rare perspective of a Palestinian documenting his life, but when I went to check the comments I saw a few people pointing out, that he only posts from his tent where he shows very little of his surroundings and when he shows the outside it’s mostly the same few often low quality videos without showing himself. He also has a gofundme that now has over $40,000 in donations which is $10,000 more than his goal of $30,000. Someone in the comments also tried to debunk him by claiming that his gofundme page is linked to Arizona, but all the people calling him out are mostly met with comments calling them zionists. Hopefully some of you can help me figure out what is going on cause I really hope he isn’t abusing the death of thousands for money.

Hello.

So "debunk" isn't really the word I want to use, it's more so "double-check" to see if it is indeed correct. I've been through the whole text and reviewed the provided links and statistics and it seems to check out in my eyes. But can someone just confirm there's nothing obviously incorrect about it?

I really want to use this in a debate but I don't want to be blindsided by a fatal flaw in it. Sorry, I don't know what other subreddit to turn to.

The online count shot up from 5 to 100+ people just minutes after I posted this, tf.

My local yoga studio is an enabler of this pseudoscientific bunk, but googling "debunk iv vitamin cleanse detox" just leads to websites offering it.

I feel like this should be easy to find, something like powerplants catching fire or blowing up or something, maybe just fake videos but I can't tell I can't see them mentioned anywhere except for places talking about the DEWs "theory" I know we use lasers in warfare in limited cases and space lasers don't actually make great weapons for a number of reasons (they aren't great distance weapons because they get deflected by particles in the are like SMOKE MAYBE and also just atmosphere water vapor, plus even tight beams can spread out, they can be weaponized but aren't being weaponized like this)

Is there anything that gives away the smoking gun of these videos? I can provide move "evidence" videos. is it natural phenomena? Is it not from Maui? Is it just fake? Thanks

1:07, an Israeli TV proved rigorously that he succeeded in inedia for 8 days.

He then starts rambling about restraining his ego (in a situation he believed himself right, for some reason), talking about developing consciousness (when psychiatrists who actually study that stuff are stumped), and talking about his "spiritual views vs. medical opinion." Not what I'm asking about, just infuriated by it.

3:16, he claims his blood tests are normal. (He says that the fainting after the blood test was from a fear of needles, and as much as I want to call bullshit, I can't certainly say no one has fainted from a fear of needles, though someone using studies to show that starvation makes this worse would be much appreciated)

4:08 He claims that the subconscious allows you to "manifest incredible transformation and control over your body"

He then proceeds to say that people under breatharianism eat less, from 2/3 reduction to "almost entirely". This might make this whole post pointless, but it sounds like he's downplaying that he eats, and perhaps even how much he does eat. I would still appreciate some responses to the more egregious examples listed.

John Mandlbaur is flooding he web with his false claims, begging scientists to recommend the publication of his ridiculous papers.

In one of them, he is trying to prove the work/energy principle by considering the work done on a rocket. His 3-sentences long paper turns out to be a high concentrate of ignorance and mistakes. In particular, the guy proves us that he doesn't even know what the work/energy principle is, and he ignores that the mass of a rocket is not constant.

In this video, I point to his mistakes, do an experiment that supports the work/energy principle, and derive the expression of the principle for the case of a rocket.

It also doesn't help that I know the person who posted this personally and I know for a fact that this dude is a clout chaser through and through.

So, are there any subtle hints that this video is edited?
