Debunking pseudoscience, myths, and spurious hogwash since 2010.

We are an evidence-based Reddit/Lemmy community dedicated to taking an objective look at questionable theories, dodgy news sources, bold-faced claims, and suspicious studies.

Community Rules:

Posting

Title formatting on all posts should be “Debunk This: [main claim]”

Example: “Debunk This: Chemicals in the water are turning the frogs gay.”

All posts must include at least one source and one to three specific claims to be debunked, so commenters know exactly what to investigate.

Example: “According to this YouTube video, dihydrogen monoxide turns amphibians homosexual. Is this true? Also, did Albert Einstein really claim this?”

NSFW/NSFL content is not allowed.

Commenting

Always try to back up your comments with linked sources. Just saying “this is untrue” isn’t all that helpful without facts to support it.

Standard community rules apply regarding spam, self-promotion, personal attacks and hate speech, etc.
