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.”

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.

What if the shirt hasn't shrunk but my stomach is bigger? Will it still work?

the internet says this is a thing. doesn't sound perfect but the general idea the conditioner relaxes the fibers in the shirt. I'm guessing it needs to be plant fiber not plastic but not sure. "To help unshrink clothes, first, add 1 Tbsp. of conditioner to a small bucket or container filled with warm water, mixing the product in as much as possible. Fully immerse the shirt in the mixture and let it soak for 30 minutes. Finally, rinse out the conditioner and gently stretch the shirt to your desired size. Let it hang dry before wearing."

It kinda works on plastic fibers, but depends how thick they are. I've used it on sweaters and it works the same on those whether natural or synthetic fibers, but shirts are more difficult. Just mix the water with conditioner while both are room temperature then add the ice. Swirl the garment around a bit and let it sit an hour. Come back and stretch it gently from seam to seam. Any finger marks could make it lumpy if you don't stretch from seams in both directions. If it's not able to stretch enough, leave it in a couple more hours and do the same thing. Rinse in cold water, gently, don't wash. Wring out and air dry. Then you can wash it.

or just buy larger shirts and pre-shrink them, that's what i do. Because as soon as you wash it, it will shrink again

I learned that clothes shrink because the fibres of each thread become entangled in each other, so each thread pulls the threads surrounding it closer together (I'm not sure why it's heat that causes this). So it makes sense that conditioner would act like a lubricant and allow the threads to release each other, and since heat causes it to happen in the first place, ice water makes sense as the way to reverse it!

I recently shrunk a near-new T shirt, and not a cheap one either. I'm going to give David's suggestion a try first, and if that doesn't help, I'll get some cheap conditioner and try the cupful.

naa - Go to jail. Bind 10 together and escape out from jail window to stretch shirts (remember shirts when safely on ground, use hook to release). This works 100% tried many times....

Maybe it would work on my pants and belt. I think they've shrunk over the winter.

I remember remember this, mo was driving out of the training facility when the boys saw him and were chasing him. The kid hit the pole and mo turned his car around. This dude is awesome, helped his country during covid. Helped the thief that robbed his house find a job. He such a nice guy people wanted him to be president.

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.
