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.
Doesn't work, perpetrators don't think of getting caught. Also if a hard punishment would prevent crime the countries with the death penalty would have less crime but they don't.

An eye for an eye.. literally and figuratively in this case.
Not sure if I am not mistaken it with some other acid attack - but I think that she got the permission to do that - and when it came to the time when she was supposed to do that, she said no, she wouldn't do it even that she can
That is a true and pure heart if gold. It's so awful that this is the kind of person these horrors happen to.
Load More Replies... Everyone who uses acid in attack, should have forced their head into a barrel of acid as punishment
Someone’s got to do the forcing. What effect would it have on them?

News reports say that she forgave him when the dr. asked if she wanted to go ahead with the punishment. I guess that means they didn't do it after all, unless the news is wrong.
Maybe she just wanted him to stew in his own fear for a bit.

There's a saying, two wrongs don't make a right, that I personally think is applicable here
She never ended up doing it. I think she just wanted him to sweat and actually put himself in the position he put her

What kind of a POS human injects acid INTo The Eye of a woman just because she wouldn't marry him?
People who live in a patriarchal, misogynistic society that views women as posessions and objects, and little more.

you shouldn't return evil with evil. no one deserves this kind of pain, no matter who they are. and just because he did an imaginable thing to her, doesn't mean he deserves it back. he should of course be in jail, and maybe have even further punishments but not this. this is inhumane.
Didn’t happen. The punishment was delayed numerous times, the last time indefinitely. Then she forgave and pardoned him. Wtf.
Don’t even charge anyone in states now. We’re all racist claim party.
I feel that's the way it should be. If a person feels that something like that can be done to another person, then it should be done to them.
sorry, I am not down with this. I'm sure going to an Iranian jail was horrific enough.
Literally from the Bible and Koran (same book, few minor details changed,FYI) An eye for an eye, a tooth for a Tooth>religious law -Sharia- they HAD to "honor" her request!
She should have accepted compensation plus punishment for the man. What did she gain by taking revenge?
I think prison does little to punish the offender but locking them up does keep us from their further offenses.
revenge with the same thing the person used kinda unexpected but pretty cool
An eye for an eye. That's what that literally means, you can do unto others exactly what they have done to you.
A lot to be said for the principle of "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth".
Why the United States don’t do it? It is called Infringement of Rights and Religion.
Eye for an eye...been saying it for years. If this was the law, I bet crime would go down.
If it is a violent crime, I believe that the Punishment should be the same....especially in the cases of rape and murder! No more 'slap on the wrist' or life in prison...with or without parole. The old West had it right. Murderers got hung...very soon after conviction... None of that appeal deal either!
Payback does not work. Revenge never heals. There will always be that empty pain, anger, and feelings of loss. Payback takes you to a dark place that is VERY difficult to come away from intact. You will never find peace in that place.
She should have been allowed to dump it on him just like he did to her. No immediate medical help, no chance to escape disfigurement. If women did this to men that upset them the world would lose its collective mind. As it is, I'm surprised they allowed her a day in court. Most often she's shamed for not going along with his psychotic demands.
OK, Bored Panda… got your facts mixed up sort of. That’s the victim in the picture (holding a picture of herself). The man was ultimately pardoned (by her). There was a man who had a similar fate in 2015. He threw acid in another man’s eyes and his victim was not as kind, however the victim did permit him to retain one eye.
Is the person holding the picture the same person as the one in the picture
I'm not really up on my Bible but doesn't it say somewhere "An eye for an eye"?
Yes, it was a Jewish law in the Old Testament, but in the New Testament, Jesus reformed the law to his followers telling them to instead forgive and "turn the other cheek"

You are short sighted and careless. Every action has a reaction. You would have us become exactly what we hate to punish what we hate. Not I.

The victim basically has no rights. Eye for an eye would absolutely reduce the crime rate. I am sure all the human rights activits groups would have issue with it. Too bad our bodies dont record the last hour of our lives.
An eye for an eye literally in this case, I don't agree with it in all situations but in one's like this one I am all for it!
Same should be done with rapists, murderers and pedophiles everywhere. Crime would go down drastically.
I don’t think that’s the case. Women tend not to report rape for example as they make themselves open to prosecution for fornication. As a woman the punishment would be greater, and they’ve incriminated themselves by the act of reporting. Sharia states are not crime free paradises

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.”
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.
Seriously? Not one other person gave up their seat for her during two pregnancies? You just do.
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.
I have gained a new respect for her. Bees are amazing creatures, and our future is intrinsically linked with theirs. #SAVETHEBEES!
And their stripes are like fingerprints - each tiger's markings are unique.
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.
Ocular albinism that ONLY affect eyes... mmm kinda difficult it'll affect feet... ??
Well alrighty then. As long as it was consentual. They made a cute kid.

after a while, it seems like the source "store of fact" (or the bp poster) just gave up and resorted to aphorisms.
BP doesn't create anything, rather it steals content from other websites.

This is what happens when you use Google to translate an article from India into English
The copious capitalisation of common nouns leads me to believe this source has a less than rigorous attention to detail.
Big words doesn't verify source material, but yeah these are all various levels of garbage

Did the writer have a stroke halfway through? I feel like a fictional character reading someone’s diary that chronicles their descent into madness.
A lot of the so called facts are not, so don't waste your time. Love the one about the guy carry a horse for 3 miles on his back! Lmao 🤣
It's a true story about the guy carrying a horse but the circumstances are not how they tell it.

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.
