A. “You are a disgrace to the world,” a girl said to the ‘US President’.
Except it wasn’t President Trump. The viral clip was actually from a Comedy Central series called “The President Show” and the Trump look-alike was Anthony Atamanuik.
B. Obama pointing at a naked picture of President Trump.
Fake Alert!!! It’s not President Trump’s.
C. How cool would it be to think that the cool move, Dab, dated far back as 20th Century?
Too bad it isn’t. The picture is a behind the scene photo from a movie in 2017.
D. Obama’s “head-in-shirt” picture.
Original picture:
E. “Russian President in the middle of an intense discussion with President Trump.”
Well, Putin was Photoshopped into Theresa May’s empty seat. The Turkish president is on the left with trump on the right and the chair in the middle was empty
F. “MGM’s shot of Lion roaring. This is how it was made”
Of course not. The picture is of a sick lion getting a CAT scan.
G. “Joseph Stalin Dining with North Korean Kim II Sung”.
Well, the original one shows Kim with Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of China (According to a debunker HoaxEye)
H. Trump’s supporters imploring Trump to “Make America White Again”

Still on Trump supporters…

R. “A soldier carrying a donkey during the World War II” story.
The photo of a soldier carrying a donkey was indeed true, but it did not belong to the time of World War II. The picture is reportedly from 1958's Algerian War. The soldier was rescuing a donkey from starvation and carrying it back to the base. It was reportedly nursed back to health and given the name Bambi. This incident has been recorded in the 1991 book History of the Legion by Douglas Porch.

Annara Mundu The medieval undergarments of women in Kerala, India

Image
Until about fifty years ago, most of the women of present-day Kerala in India used to wear undergarments called  onnara mundu  that literally translates to ‘one and a half a loincloth’. This was essentially a loincloth made of thinner cotton fabric and tied in a particular fashion. There used to be a little function for young girls on the threshold of puberty to move from a  konakam  or loincloth to the more sophisticated and feminine  onnara mundu . It was one of our rites of passage. The  onnara mundu  did for the waist what the corset did for the upper body for women in the West. The upper portion of the body was bare and so nobody really cared how ‘stuff’ grew :P All the focus was on the waist and downward. Hence the importance of the  onnara mundu.  It was tied very tightly around the growing waists of the girls to give them the trademark South Indian body shape as they grew older. But due to the fabric, it was very comfortable to wear a...

Who are The indigenous white Muslims?

THE WHITE MUSLIMS - A LARGE GROUP SIMPLY NEGLECTED Whites and Muslims are always 2 different groups in the eyes of many westerners. But there are close to 100-150 million white Muslims in the broader description of the white race. and even in the most conservative definition of "white", there are close to at least 40-50 Million Muslims. Chechen Muslim insurgents who fought against Russia for independence There are the obvious white Muslims who live in Europe or on the edge of the continent in countries like Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Russia and Turkey. The Definition of the White race has always been in debate since the formation of USA. America Described "anyone with middle eastern, European or North African Descent as white"  The middle east obviously has people who could fit the visible test of being white but then there are also quite a number of middle easterners who clearly look nothing like white. But despite the American c...

Largest Snakes in History

Image
Largest Snakes in History Humans have an innate fear of snakes. Ophidiophobia is one of the most common phobias in the world, and studies have shown that most primates are genetically wired to detect snakes rapidly. Prehistory is writhing with snakes, but not just little ones - some were true giants. Everyone talks about  Titanoboa cerrejonensis.  I tend to refrain from writing about famous, popular fossil taxa, but it would be wrong to exclude it from this answer. So,  Titanoboa  was 12.8 metres long, a ton in weight, and commonly cited as the largest snake in history. To at least bring something new to the table, I should mention that  studies  have suggested that  Titanoboa  was more of a piscivore (fish-eater) than a megafauna-killer. Perhaps the snake was in fact a gentle giant? Before the discovery of  Titanoboa,  the title of largest snake went to a different species -  Gigantophis garstini . It lived about 20 million years a...
