inShoutout to the local news anchor in Boise who said the wrong town and just kept going
Man, I don't get why a two second pause is such a big deal. News anchors read off teleprompters for hours and people mess up words all the time, it's live TV. She probably caught it in her ear and just decided fixing it mid-read would make it worse. Getting a town name wrong on a graphic is a small thing compared to the actual fire. Funny moment, sure, but laughing your hardest at it seems like a stretch.

inPro tip: I read the fine print on a flat earth video and the source was a fishing forum
A bass fishing board in 2011 is honestly kind of funny, but I gotta push back on treating this like some big crisis of misinformation. Half the stuff people "debunk" on flat earth videos is just random junk some guy typed while waiting for a bite, and calling it out like you cracked a case feels like a lot of effort for not much payoff. The people who believe that video aren't gonna care that the quote came from a fishing forum, they'll just say NASA planted it there to make them look silly. I guess my real question is what you do with the info once you have it, because pointing at a 14 year old joke post doesn't actually prove anything about the shape of the planet. If the trick is just "check where quotes come from," sure, that's fine, but it's not the gotcha people act like it is. Feels more like winning an argument online than changing anyone's mind.

inA $3 kitchen timer fixed my sleep more than any supplement
Man, the late night snack thing is so real. I stopped eating after 7pm and my 2am wakeups just quit. It stinks how much money we drop on pills before trying the free stuff.
