A group of Flat Earthers spent $20,000 on experiments to prove the Earth is flat, including using a high-precision laser gyroscope and a light beam test. Both experiments accidentally provided clear evidence that the Earth is round.

The viral image of 5-year-old Osama al-Raqab, portrayed as a starving Gaza child victimized by Israeli policies, is false. Osama suffers from cystic fibrosis, a serious genetic disease affecting his respiratory and digestive systems, which caused his emaciated appearance, not malnutrition or starvation. On June 12, 2025, Israel coordinated his medical evacuation from Gaza via Ramon Airport to Italy, where he received specialized treatment alongside his mother and brother.

Claims that the IDF shot civilians at an aid center in Gaza have been thoroughly investigated and disproven. Multiple sources, including eyewitness accounts and independent investigations, show that the gunfire came from armed Palestinian militants who were clashing amid chaotic conditions. The Israeli Defense Forces did not fire on the aid center or the civilians there. Video evidence released by Israeli authorities and verified by third parties confirms that the IDF maintained distance and did not engage in shooting at the humanitarian site.

Allegations that Israeli settlers burned the 4th-century Church of St. George in Taybeh (which is not an active church but an archeological site, stone ruins, that can't even be burned) were fabricated. The fire occurred in nearby dry grass and was quickly extinguished with help from local Jewish residents, leaving the church unharmed.

The claim that eighty percent of Gaza’s babies would starve in forty-eight hours was a gross misinterpretation of a UN report and was later corrected by UN officials.

The activists aboard the Handala flotilla were not kidnapped but peacefully intercepted and legally deported after attempting to breach Israel’s naval blockade.

What's up with all the lies? Surely, they wouldn't lie so much if there was really a genocide and Israel was as evil as they want u to think, would they?

Hi Gina- Hope you’re doing well on this Sunday afternoon. I don’t mean to rain on everybody’s parade, but the Soho picture that everybody thinks is Harry it isn’t. It’s Liam Conroy- He was at the Soho house last night. It’s him in the photo not Harry. I’m so sorry please don’t be mad at me- you can even see this is the photo of him at the awards

 https://x.com/ch3rrylov3d/status/2028160551767998564?s=46&t=A01HZCEbU53AkYj6gktwUA

Why would I be mad? I’d so much rather know for sure. I was feeling like “Harry’s” hair looked too short. And he doesn’t usually wear his shirt collar over his suit collar. So now we know.

Debunked.

You can see the polka dots on the shirt of the guy in the Soho House photo.

I truthfully debated not posting this, letting shit run it's course, just being the bigger person.. But I truly cannot. The accusations against me make me incredibly pissed off. So I want to address them asap, and we'll see if anything comes of this all.

For some context, I was vaguely in relations with another tumblr user [we'll see if I name names prob not], and we spoke a lot and were on good terms. Nice social interaction type shit.

This was a person who would talk to me about stuff they saw online and discuss with me, tell me when they thought I was wrong/confused by a take of mine & discussed it with me, etc. We were so close in fact this blogger even thought about adding me to a personal discord server with just this person's friends, but I was a month or so shy of 18 so this user made their own server instead. I was around the 9th or so member to join, and I hyped it up pretty publicly on this blog.

We spoke frequently but something happened in my personal life making me take a break, and ever since then we just kinda dwindled in communications, but still stayed speaking on good terms. Nothing in the rest of this post was communicated to me at all by this person in their mid goddamn 20s. But more on that in a bit..

Anyways, I seen today I was banned & blocked everywhere by this person, asked [redacted] what happened, and was forwarded this message the person who's upset with me. I wanna dissect this today.

[warning; this is very rant-y]

ONTO THE MEAT!

-

basically lily/lilidae (or ichliebemeinkissen) has had a lot of repeated issues even before the server has been made.

Yet I wasn't told at all about any of these grievances, and you made the server still, invited me, spoke to me closely. Like genuinely do you not think it makes you look odd if all these alleged horrible things I've done were flagging for you over and over & you just continued on like nothing happened?

shi got a black boyfriend and started acting like that made hir 'black by proxy',

in a way which made me super uncomfortable. shi started speaking in aave a lot more in ways shi didn't before.

Unfortunately this will be a VERY long section of my response:

ACT I: My bf..

First off, why are you assuming my boyfriend is black. You yourself are lightskinned, and you consider yourself black, so you should be able to conceptualize "dark skin doesn't necessarily mean black." He is a dark skinned latino man. I know the history there and yadda yadda, he could definitely have African Ancestory or some shit if you really wanna headcannon the poor man, but end of the day. He isn't black. He is societally seen as a darker skinned latino man. He grew up being a darker skinned latino man.

He has never claimed to be black, and I have never called him black. This is your own assumption.

Additionally, I won't grow into the specifics of how he was raised but being black doesn't necessarily mean you use AAVE. Like you're phrasing this as if I started dating him and just? Copied him? Pretended to be black or something? He grew up a sheltered JW not speaking AAVE. And he still does not. I don't get why he's being dragged into your fanfic about my life.

FINALLY, I didn't "get a black bf and start speaking different." I've been with him longer than any of my accounts you've known me on have even been created. So what now? You clearly don't know jack shit about my man nor my relationship, so I'd like it if you didn't use your assumptions about strangers' lives to fuel your justification of hating me. Jfc. Like I'm sorry but this whole first thing is absurd to me to be accused of ~pretending to be black~ by someone who clearly doesn't know shit about me nor my life. (more on that below)👇

ACT II: Me & AAVE

I have never once changed how I've spoken. Maybe you've just gotten to know me in more casual settings so I stopped speaking like a robot to you, but I have never once changed how I speak. And even if I do use AAVE! Guess what! I HAVE BLACK FAMILY MEMBERS & GREW UP IN HIGHERLY BLACK POPULATED PLACES!

Like? I speak how people I've grown up around all my life, especially my FAMILY speaks? Like you're acting as if I just suddenly changed one day & started speaking a new way when genuinely nothing about me or how I've always existed has changed once.

++ Mind you everyone reading! This is all through written language only. I'm not even being accused of a blaccent here. Just ~acting black~ because.. I use AAVE sometimes.

Additionally, this just keeps me wondering again and again: WHY THE FUCK. DIDNT YOU TALK TO ME. You are a grown ass adult who sat there, allegedly had ~alllllll~ these issues with me, and said nothing. ????

So yea, I do speak AAVE. But not cuz I wanna ~pretend to be black~ cuz I am in this relationship with my ~now black-headcannoned bf~, because it's the language around me. Very human to mimmick those you're around.

--

ALSO! I do wanna address the "black by proxy" claim. I genuinely don't think that. I mean idk how to prove a negative here, so I'm just going to go through the actual arguments made for that I suppose.

interacting with accounts that are exclusively for black people and essentially invading black spaces.

I wanna know where. Because the only black-only account I know is [I'm blanking on the name it's either for lesbians or aspecs or something?], and I know I've reblogged that bloggers posts before, but they were typically about bigger issues & topics. So I reblogged. I think that blogger has those little signs on posts too, yea?

Other than that, there's the internoir blog but the only interaction I did was bringing up to them "im white idk how you wanna do this but there's a history of the H slur going into science because of racism" and that blogger just took that & made their own post. No harm no foul.. idk if any of that is bad person behavior, but again, if it is, I am a person. You can tell me instead of writing up a list of horrible things you feel I've done, waiting for the day you have enough?

there are repeated instances of where shi speaks on blackness and antiblackness that shi makes it where it sounds like shi's talking about hirself.

Really hate how there's no real citations in this. I suppose it wasn't a callout post but still! Literally where?

Chat, is it antiblack & blackfishing to call out racism (while specifying you're white all the time) now?

Genuinely this all just sounds like cobbled together rubbish to me. I'm sorry I know these are serious accusations & I am trying to be graceful here, but genuinely how is "They have a blk bf & speak about racism so they blackfish but dw I sat on this information for many months before feeling personally like this person deserved it to come up" supposed to be replied to?

along with speaking over black ballroom terms such as "doll" and weaponizing hir position as a white transfem to tell transmascs they aren't allowed to bridge that gap for example. that's not hir place when the term has black origins.

zomg thats SO funny because the only time I've ever spoken about the word doll is HERE where I expressly say I don't like how people don't understand the history... and you knew this. We spoke about this. You added on to what I was saying and I respected your opinion on it. Where was the speaking over? The weaponization?

in the past i also caught hir claiming genderqueerdykes (a known abuser who happens to be mixed/biracial) was lying about that person's race (mixed black) & interacting positively with someone who said "is the black in the room with us?"

Mm I don't remember that specific person but I remember the situation well. A lot of people who KNEW this blogger PERSONALLY had proof & shit. So that's why I held that belief at that time. Later on, they ~mysteriously~ retracted that from the doc & I thought it was weird but avidly acknowledged this & retracted my previous statements, saying the new findings to others still having this conversation, etc.

Again this was wayyyyy long ago.. And you never had anyyyyy trouble disagreeing with me throughout the entire time we've known each other.. Still going to bring that up every now and again.. It's just so odd to me..

shi publically used the phrasing "kool kids..." when meaning to compliment this server... and that has. connotations of the KKK. and i told hir this and to please not say that. all shi responded with was "ok." i didn't get an apology or anything.

I say kool instead of cool constantly. It's part of my vocabulary. When you said that (which wouldn't you know I can't look for the interaction cuz im banned!) but yea when you said that I was like okay my b. If you didn't feel I was receptive enough or *doing* enough, you are grown and could've very well communicated such things.

shi's also been fatmisic & published an ask agreeing with all of it that essentially generalized the fat liberation community as ableist against EDs. and while there is a conversation to be had about SOME fat people being ableist against those with EDs. fat people with EDs also exist. i am one of them i have ARFID. we would have considered this a one off, just kinda weird thing to say but shi's also had a history of positioning skinnymisia to be as systemic as fatmisia.

There's a LOT of posts I could bring up, and hardly any of them can be misconstrued as saying all fat people & fat liberationists are bad.

Like idk man, in this collection of posts I've made about this I've:

• Criticized people who use fat liberation as a mask for their ableism

• Criticized people who are ableist in different ways to fat people with EDs

• Said body diversity is more than just a tiny bit of chub on a character and people need to do better

Things like that. Where's the fatphobia? I feel like this shit is just grasping at straws atp..

And nowhere did I ONCE say anything was systemic, unless you think me saying "Hey if you wanna argue fatphobia is a systemic axis of oppression you need to genuinely treat it like one" is equivical to that?

in the past as well on one of hir accounts, cericertain shi also dismissed me being upset that SQH kept reblogging zionists on my timeline & essentially responded "do you think everyone has to look at the bios of who they reblog." like ... if you're an activist blog? yes? you should be sensitivity checking the accounts you fucking put on people's feeds.

That's because in all my time on this god forsaken website it's always been incredibly weird to assume someone will verify everyone they reblog is "safe". Also it seemed very one-off. No, I didn't immediately think at the time SQH should be thrown to the pit of eternal suffering or whatever because one person they reblogged was bad. I'm so sorry?

---------

ALSO! That account. You followed me from that account to here. For many months. And sat on that. KEEP THAT IN MIND!

Also anyone peep how this blogger goes "bleh i wouldve ignored fatmisia if it was a one-off" but every other one off is being crucified?

I really want y'all to sit there & think. A person in their mid 20s sat there being buddy buddy with me for many months, taking note of every little slight wrongdoing I ever done, didn't talk to me about 99% of them, then added it all up until they wanted to attack me.

This blogger sat there collecting this shit like dust. That is absurdist behavior & I'm sorry but idk how anyone can defend it.

there may be more i'm missing but the most recent issue is when opening tumblr the first thing i saw was hir reblogging a post spreading antiblack misinformation that nb did not originate in black spaces to mean "nonblack" (it did.)

I reblogged a post on my feed. If it was misinformation for thag person to call something else misinformation then tell me. Talk. To. Me. Use them fingers you used to type this bullshit up to verbally speak to me.

Anyways this is finally the section where I get onto my final overarching point; You, yes you, sat there collecting anything you could on me that you felt wasn't perfect in your eyes until you saw something you thought was bad enough to finally ~get~ me. Get the fuck offline & go do some soul searching.

so this most recent issue combined with hir behavior of repeated antiblackness and basically acting like shi's black was the nail in the coffin, and we made the decision to ban hir.

Anyways, yea no none of this is proof I did anything. It's more "I saw this person's life in the worst possible way & so they're bad!"

You never once reached out to me. You never once spoke to me. You just stayed silent until it was time to block me, then pettily reposted this garbage.

about someone who you know goddamn well ain't even 18.5 yet. Lol.

-

Some bullshit, @roisebian/now "tired-of-white-cunts" (very classy). And yea. Ima @ you. At first this was only written up because I know you're a notorious shit talker, and when you inevitably shit talk me on your discord server (that you ASKED ME TO HELP YOU PROMO. IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THESE ALLEGED HORRIBLE THINGS I DID BTW.) I wanted people to just see my response.

then I was sent THIS SHIT by a seperate person and It was just pathetic. So everything you say, the beautifulness devoid of any proof, is 100% true and everyone should listen. But if I even dare speak about what you've done it's because you're black and native and jewish now and I just wanna ~tear down this community~ (that I helped with mind you).

No wonder you always need others to make posts for you or reply to stuff for you, you're a coward. Even behind the screen. It's genuinely sad.

[voxina]

Hi voxina. I hope you're enjoying all the crazy larrying lately!

I was hoping to borrow your brilliant mind to confirm whether the sequence of events mentioned in this tweet is real or is it just various individual incidents cobbled together? would love anything you know about the things mentioned

https://x.com/sunflowerp08/status/2044605705240412371?s=46&t=yE6yWeMXauePQz_jS9qpzw

Hi there, love! I can well understand why this sort of post might raise some doubts and cause quite a bit of confusion, especially if no context is provided. I’ll do my best to clarify things as much as possible, although I can tell you in advance that this theory has already been debunked.

But let’s start by saying that Harry’s tweet is real, and as you can see, it’s still up. And to this day, I don’t think we’ve ever found out exactly what he was referring to.

The Titanic scene recreated by Harry and Louis is also real, and is taken from the intro to ‘One Direction – Up All Night: The Live Tour’. This particular scene was presumably filmed in 2011, so a full two years before Harry’s tweet. The clip is quite short and appears briefly on screen at around the 1:24 mark.

Now, it is with the photo of Harry’s hand on the tour bus window that things start to get tangled up and confusing because of the so-called ‘Titanic theory’.

In 2013, a fan reportedly posted this infamous photo, claiming that the tour bus had started to move and that moans could be heard coming from inside, where, according to this fan, only Harry and Louis were present.

But there has never been any way to prove that any of this was true, let alone trace the source or even the date and location where this pic was supposedly taken. In short, the full story has been lost, assuming it ever existed. And after over a decade, it is truly an almost impossible task to piece it together, given that nothing new has emerged to date. We don’t even know with absolute certainty whether it is actually Harry’s hand. Personally, I believe it is, because of Harry’s distinctive little finger, and also because of what looks like the Peace ring. But I’m fairly certain that everything else was made up and it simply became headcanon story.

The fact that the photo is somewhat funnily reminiscent of the iconic scene in Titanic with the hand on the steamy car window has helped to fuel the theory. Or, more likely, this is precisely what sparked it in the first place. Or perhaps it started out as a joke, only to gradually turn into something that some people still believe actually happened.

What most likely happened is that Harry was simply waving to fans outside. Something quite common and innocent, then. This would also seem to be confirmed by another phototaken around the same time (who knows, maybe at exactly the same moment), which is very similar to the one used in the ‘Titanic theory’.

Let’s now turn to the scratches on Louis’ back. The theory suggests that, shortly after that photo was taken, Louis was seen with those marks, which were impossible to miss. And that, as I mentioned earlier, there were only him and Harry inside the tour bus. Another version claims it happened the following day. However, the truth is quite different.

The photo of Louis that is always shared is actually cropped, and the original shows that he was in fact not alone at all.

Here is another photo from the same day, showing Louis with his former bodyguard, Alberto Álvarez.

And to be honest, that doesn’t even look like a tour bus to me, but more like a van where the boys could change their outfits. These photos, in fact, date back to 21 July 2013, when One Direction were in Houston for the photo shoot for the special issue of Fabulous magazine, which came out in August. We know this thanks to the detailed timeline that we can read in this long but very useful post.

At this point, it’s worth adding that this theory also includes the anecdote that Louis bought a DVD that day to watch with Harry, and that it was just the two of them at the service station where they stopped after their show in Houston. But, my dear anon, that would open up a whole other discussion, involving other tweets and other films lol!, though I think it’s worth mentioning briefly as it confirms the date of 21 July 2013.

Now, according to the theory, the moment when Harry couldn’t sit properly also happened that day. But we know that is not true.

The photo/gif, in fact, dates back to 9 July 2013, when the band was in Toronto for a show on their tour (the moment was captured whilst they were performing ‘Summer Love’). So, this was about twenty days before the photo was taken of Louis with the alleged scratches on his back. Not to forget that Harry’s tweet mentioning the ‘Titanic for the first time’ face was posted in December.

In conclusion, the whole theory is based entirely on assumptions; something that perhaps started as a joke; and a few actual events that took place weeks or even months apart, but which have been pieced together to suggest that there was some sort of correlation, when in reality there isn’t any at all.

I hope this has been helpful and has clarified things a bit for you, or for anyone who might still come across posts of this kind, which unfortunately do nothing but fuel misinformation within the fandom, with false evidence and fabricated theories.

9 out of 10 times ejaculating in a woman will throw her pH off for a few weeks if not months. BV and yeast infections are wildly common in women who let their partners ejaculate in them. A lot of women endure this issue for life and are blamed for having “smelly vaginas” when the root cause is semen disrupting the microbiome. That article you cited is questionable for sure and we shouldnt refer to women as cum brained, but semen disrupts vaginal health the majority of the time. Its why so many women get yeast infections attempting to conceive.

Alrighty, lets dissect this.

Yes: semen is alkaline — its PH is usually around 7.1 to 8. The vagina, on the other hand, is naturally acidic with a PH around 3.8 to 4.5. That acidity is what keeps the vaginal microbiome healthy, especially the dominance of lactobacillus bacteria, which help fight off infections.

So yes, ejaculation can temporarily raise the vaginal pH. But to say it “throws off the PH for weeks or months” in 90% of cases? This is not backed by science. At all.

The vagina is designed to rebalance itself. It has a robust ability to restore its normal pH after mild disruptions.

Women don’t get an infection every time they have unprotected sex with a man. If that were true, literally millions of women that are engaging in sexually active relationships would be living in constant infection mode — and we’re just not seeing that reflected in population health studies.

What is true:

BV and yeast infections are super common

They can be triggered by PH disruption — from semen, yes, but also periods, antibiotics, scented soaps, douching, new partners, stress, diet, etc.

Some women are more prone to an imbalance than others (immune stuff, genetics, hormones, etc.)

But that doesn’t mean semen is toxic waste. Again, we have debunked that made up 9/10 number.

Also, the broad statement that women “endure this for life” is wrong. Recurrent infections in women prone to them suck but they’re perfectly treatable and preventative measures can be taken. Don’t shame women with fear-based stats.
