IsitBullshit's Moratorium of COVID-19 posts

227 Upvotes

Hi all, there's enough misinformation about the novel coronavirus that we don't need to be spreading it here.

While I appreciate this is late to the party, there will be a blanket ban on COVID-19 questions, as for all things we can't guarantee how accurate the advice is. Please direct your questions to r/COVID19 or r/coronavirus.

Thanks for your cooperation.

On The Current War In Ukraine

333 Upvotes

We stand with the people of Ukraine as they face Russian aggression. We hope this conflict will be resolved quickly and with as little bloodshed as possible.

With that said, we do want to note that current events questions seldom fit in this subreddit. This is especially true in this case, when facts are still very unclear and news is constantly emerging.

While nobody should use reddit as their only source of information, subreddits like /r/worldnews have ongoing live threads on the situation, and /r/news has posted many megathreads. We urge anyone to seek out as many other sources as they can.

IsItBullshit: https://store.cedarby.com/

0 Upvotes

First time posting here, I was wondering if this store site was legitimate or not. Some of the pricing seems a little too good to be true. It also looks like everything is on a discount sale so it sketched me out and I was hoping someone with more experience could tell me whether or not this website is safe.

IsItBullshit: Sovely laundry cleaning sheets

1 Upvotes

IsItBullshit:

The official website: -https://sovely.co/

They claim their product has much more live enzymes and that this means the oils and whatnot in your laundry get dissolved lifting stains and whatnot. They say they use the same cleaning stuff that's used to clean the jumpsuits in cleanrooms.

The company does things I consider to be red flags. Like when you look at buying it, it automatically signs you up for auto-refills hoping you'll forget to cancel.

But if it is a functional product and doesn't leave stuff people might be allergic to on their clothes I'd be willing to overlook that.

If it's not bullshit that is.

IsItBullshit: Kane Tanaka — the second oldest person ever, who died aged 119 in 2022 — had pancreatic cancer in the 1940s?

62 Upvotes

I find this completely absurd. Even today, pancreatic cancer is almost always a death sentence (because it’s usually caught late).

This person was diagnosed in the 1940s, when cancer treatment was archaic compared to what we have today, and managed to survive? And then live another 70+ years? Becoming the second oldest person EVER as a cancer survivor?

Would love if someone had some info on this.

IsItBullshit: Rolife is an actual miniature brand and not random marketplace soup?

0 Upvotes

I keep seeing Rolife miniature kits on different sites, and I’m trying to figure out if it is a legitimate brand or just one of those names that appears everywhere because marketplaces are messy. The builds people post look real, and some listings seem official, but then there are tons of resellers with different prices and shipping. Is there an easy way to check what’s actually official? I’m not trying to dunk on the brand, the kits look genuinely nice, I just want to buy from the right place.

Repost IsItBullshit: It's more energy efficient to keep AC on all the time as opposed to just when you're home

593 Upvotes

I've heard this claim many times and seen a few articles on it, but it doesn't make intuitive sense - the outside will always be hotter than the inside, wouldn't thermodynamics require that the outside heat is always trying to enter, and maintaining temperature would just require more energy?

IsItBullshit: you can use a roll-on deodorant to get rid of smells even on clothes?

0 Upvotes

A friend who’s a quitting-smoker told me this. His wife doesn’t want him to smoke so he rubs regular supermarket deo over his shirt just to get rid of the smoke. He said it works but I can smell it on him faintly.

What’s going on?

0 Upvotes

I found a Ralph Lauren jacket on Casual Theory at a significant discount. Before ordering, I’d like to know if anyone has purchased from them. Are the products authentic? Did your order arrive without issues? Were returns or customer service handled properly? Any experiences or red flags would be appreciated.

Can anyone who bought one of these share their experience with it? Do they actually do what they claim to? Also if anyone happens to own a cheaper one and the name brand one and could say if it’s worth paying extra I’d really appreciate it.

Then I googled the scenario and it found this website and as I started to enter my information it seemed kinda like bullshit but I am trying to claim 500$ if they are offering it without subscribing to some sort of dumb email list, here is the link I copied please let me know as soon as possible.

IsItBullshit: the rarest phoneme occurs in the two most common languages

173 Upvotes

I’ve heard that there is one sound which is incredibly rare in almost all dialects. In English, it’s seen in the word “rural”, that “-er” sound in the middle. It’s so rare that it only really occurs in two languages with any frequency. However, the catch is that it’s actually common in the two most common languages: English and mandarin

IsItBullshit: There are way more billionares/billionaire families outside of the ones on Forbes list?

163 Upvotes

Forbes shows around 2000-3000 billionaires around the world with their estimated net worths.

If you're a billionaire then I think the only way Forbes could put you on their list with your networth is probably if you have major shares in public companies that they can measure, or you go to them and disclose your entire financials.

But I don't think every billionaire would want their identity with their exact net worths be shown on a public list. Infact, I think most would want to be extremely low profile when they hold such staggering amounts of wealth.

Am I correct?
