De snelste manier om je leven te verkorten is je voedsel opwarmen in een magnetron. Alle voedsel waardes verdwijnen en je voedsel wordt toxisch.

Publisher’s rating: De straling van de magnetron warmt voedsel op maar maakt het niet "toxisch" en is niet schadelijker dan andere methodes om eten te bereiden of op te warmen. Ook de voedselwaarden blijven grotendeels bewaard.

The review explains that microwaves heat food through non-ionizing radiation and that this does not make food toxic. It notes that cooking can affect nutrients, but losses vary; the article cites research finding that more than 90% of vitamin C remained in microwaved broccoli in one study.

In China können dank digitaler Währung nur Menschen mit einem Sozialkreditwert von 550 oder mehr ihr Elektroauto aufladen.

Publisher’s rating: Das Bild stammt aus einem Video, in dem eine Frau eine Funktion der chinesischen App WeChat vorstellt. Dabei geht es um ein Belohnungssystem für die Kreditwürdigkeit des App-Nutzers.

The image is a screenshot from a video demonstrating WeChat Pay, not evidence that digital currency determines who may charge an electric car. The 550 figure is a WeChat Score threshold for using a “pay later” feature; users below it can still charge their cars but must pay upfront.

Nederland heeft momenteel de hoogste oversterfte in de EU.

Publisher’s rating: Nee. Nederland bevindt zich slechts op positie acht in de meest recente Europese oversterftecijfers. Bovendien is de definitie van oversterfte ook anders: de gekozen referentieperiode kan veranderen en heeft niets te maken met de coronavaccinaties.

The review reports that Netherlands ranked eighth in Eurostat’s latest figures, not first. For July 2024, it gives the Netherlands’ excess-mortality rate as 12.4%, calculated against the 2016–2019 reference period.

L'aéroport de Zurich offre des bagages perdus.

Deze video toont een kerkhof van Oekraïense tanks in de regio Koersk.

Publisher’s rating: De video speelt zich niet af in het Russische Koersk, maar wel in de Oekraïense stad Myrne (oblast Donetsk). De exacte locatie ligt op een goede 300 kilometer van Koersk. Bovendien gaat het om oude beelden uit 2022. Hoogstwaarschijnlijk zijn het geen Oekraïense, maar wel Russische tanks.
