தமிழகத்தில் இரண்டு கட்டங்களாக உள்ளாட்சித் தேர்தல் டிசம்பர் மாதம் நடத்தப்படும் என்று அறிவிக்கப்பட்டதாக ஒரு புகைப்படம் சமூக ஊடகங்களில் பகிரப்பட்டு வருகிறது.
Publisher’s rating: ஃபேக்ட் கிரஸண்டோ ரேட்டிங்: FALSE
The review says the photo reused a 2019 News18 Tamil Nadu report about elections scheduled for December 27 and 30, making it appear to be a 2024 announcement. It found no report announcing local-election dates for December 2024 and concluded the post was misleading. [S1]
காவலர்களுக்கு ரூ.74.8 கோடியில் வாங்கப்பட்ட 85 இருசக்கர வாகனங்களை மு.க.ஸ்டாலின் கொடியசைத்துத் தொடங்கி வைத்தார் என்று ஒரு பதிவு சமூக ஊடகங்களில் பகிரப்பட்டு வருகிறது.
Publisher’s rating: ஃபேக்ட் கிரஸண்டோ ரேட்டிங்: FALSE
The review found the claim false: the News 7 Tamil card incorrectly stated that 85 motorcycles cost Rs. 74.8 crore. It reports that the Tamil Nadu government’s press release gave the cost as Rs. 74 lakh.

Publisher’s rating: The video is two years old and consumer campaigner Mr Lewis is referring to the October 2022 price cap, not the one that is set to come into force later this year. The latest forecasts show that the October 2024 price cap is expected to rise by a little under 10% to £1,723 for the typical household.

Female red velvet ants, known for their potent stings, have earned the nickname 'cow killer ant' due to the myth that their sting could kill a cow. While painful, their venom is not highly toxic. Red velvet ants rarely sting unless provoked, and only females sting; males do not.

Strompreis in Deutschland ist astronomisch hoch Ende Juni.
Publisher’s rating: Den enormen Preisunterschied hat es wirklich gegeben - allerdings war er auf einen IT-Fehler im Börsensystem zurückzuführen. Von dem Screenshot und der weiteren Entwicklung der Märkte sind aber keine allgemeinen extremen Änderungen der Preise abzuleiten. Die Preise normalisierten sich schon am nächsten Tag, es handelte sich um eine Momentaufnahme zum Zeitpunkt der Computerpanne.
The review says German electricity prices briefly reached €492 per megawatt-hour on June 26, 2024, after a technical fault disrupted the electricity exchange. Prices had returned to €92 by the following day, so the spike was a short-lived market disruption, not evidence of a general extreme price change.

Bed bug bites can develop into red, itchy and swollen welts, quickly causing skin irritation at the bite site.
Publisher’s rating: The claim that bed bug bites can develop into red, itchy, and swollen welts, quickly causing skin irritation at the bite site, is accurate. Bed bugs feed on human blood. Their bites are typically painless initially but can develop into red, swollen welts within a few hours or days. These welts are often intensely itchy and can cause significant skin irritation. The symptoms described are well-documented in medical literature, confirming the accuracy of this claim.
Bald-faced hornet stings carry venom that makes the stings hurt, itch and swell for about 24 hours.
Publisher’s rating: The claim that bald-faced hornet stings carry venom that causes pain, itching, and swelling for about 24 hours is true. The venom from a bald-faced hornet sting triggers an inflammatory reaction in the skin, leading to these symptoms, which typically subside within a day.
