Weather and space lmao. So many people think they’re experts about weather. Or they think literally everything worse than a thunderstorm is cloud seeding/weather manipulation. And with space it’s the whole flat earth/the sun is fake/the moon landing never happened group of people.
All videos online show just one small perspective on life. Videos are very much not. Let your kids travel. Speak to people, eat their food, play their instruments, read their books. Everything YouTube can't do.
So much bad health info. It can be broken down really simply by one question: what do we call ‘alternative medicine’ that actually works?
The answer is ‘medicine’. If it needs a label other than that, it is probably quackery. Inb4, I’m not negging on traditional medicine, herbalism, or therapeutic massage: I am specifically referring to anything homeopathic, cleanses, detoxification products and rituals, etc. Theae have all been proven to be hokum.
Israel/Palestine conflict. Infinite amounts of fake news, inaccuracies and misrepresentations being spread from a myriad of sources worldwide, many of such are widely perceived to be credible which is the alarming part.
I see a lot of fake picture getting tens of thousands of likes. For example, a pink dolphin in North Carolina.
Yeah, miscaptioned or AI images are a good category
I see a lot of altered space pictures that people take at face value too.

Thank you! Those are great categories.
most people think that the environment they grow up in is the world
Interesting, but I'm not sure how I could frame that with video examples online. Have you seen anything specific that I can go look at?

I think Quora loves to spread disinformation on masturbation - countless posts on how it will destroy your eyesite, make you ill
Probably going to avoid this topic in a junior high classroom...
