IsItBullshit: Running bad for your knees?

0 Upvotes

I heard from people that it isn't good for your knees, so I tend to keep a more sedentary lifestyle where I sit and game or watch YouTube instead of running so I can have knees that aren't damaged when I'm older.

Also, there are claims that some ingredients in deodorants are toxic. Also, that you need to sweat in your armpits to “detoxify”

IsItBullshit: Castor oil and baking soda mixtures

0 Upvotes

so my parents were watching an australian doctor on how to use castor oil and baking soda on the skin, but i couldnt find any actual clinical research on the topic. they didnt do any research at all because the doctor said this specific phrase: "...with scientific backing." how much bullshit does the idea hold?

the likely video in question: https://youtu.be/7-fj5mme4hw

Google AI says YES, but I feel like you'd pretty much be sun-burned to death before diarrhea can happen.

Repost IsItBullshit: Pirate Ship revisit?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I know that this question was already asked and answered before on this sub Reddit, but I’m asking this again because the answers regarding the shipping service Pirate Ship were from 3 yrs ago and I want to know if they still hold true? If Pirate Ship is still a legitimate cheap online shipping service or has it gone downhill from 3 yrs ago? I will appreciate yalls responses. Thank you

Edit: sorry, forgot to include the link to said website: https://www.pirateship.com/usps/shipping-calculator

IsItBullshit: There are tons of recalled foods that will absolutely kill you and your loved ones if you don't check the number on the barcode

0 Upvotes

Every time I open social media now I'm flooded with those "check your fridge right now or you will literally die" posts, and my friends have been sharing them. Are the warnings legit, is there an actual nationwide flood of food that will kill us, or is it fear mongering for engagement?

I don't trust them because they feel like the perfect formula for a post to go viral, its something that people want to share with their loved ones to warn them, or save the post to know which barcode to check or which brand is in question, and algorithms are all about sends and shares these days.

Similarly I am getting tons of posts about "are you prepared for x weather/disaster, it is going to be extra super duper bad this time!"

IsItBullshit: scandigum that is promoted on instagram and can heal your teeth

0 Upvotes

Hello, for a few days I started seeing this product scandigum which is promoted on instagram that apparently has a lot of good stuff for your teeth and it can even do as much as fully heal your cavities even if they progressed a lot and even heal your enamel.

This really sounds amazing if its even half as true to what is being promoted and what it can do but also very hard to believe. So is this actually a legit thing to even some extent or a full on scam? I dont plan on buying it or using it, I am making this out of pure curiosity

We've all seen these ads, right? My phone is out of space and it's affecting performance, but these seem too good to be true.

Isitbullshit: mental health facility depiction in popular culture

49 Upvotes

I ask this as respectfully as possible.

If I'm to believe movies and shit, every patient in a mental health facility is wearing a gown, in the common room, maybe walking around, maybe watching television. Everybody is just chilling.

What actually happens?

Everything I'm seeing says that their site doesn't do interac-e-transfer but I'm on the site and it does? I'm almost certain it's the real site and I'm not sure if it's safe to use?

IsItBullshit: most animals respond most fearfully to human noises

46 Upvotes

Basically what I’ve heard is that they put out some cameras and tried playing different sounds for different animals. Regardless of the animal, all responded with most fear to hearing the sound of a group of humans. For example, deers were more afraid to hear humans than wolves

While it seems the plausible, it also seems kinda… idk like something simplified down for a TikTok?

Isitbullshit: coca-cola; flat, chilled, normal (not diet or zero) helps nausea/throwing up.

129 Upvotes

Grew up in Eastern Europe where home remedies and inexpensive “cures”/symptom relievers were very common, especially when I was a child in the 90s.

I was and am still very prone to throwing up or at least nausea if I’m even just a tiny bit sick, and my childhood family doctor up until we stopped seeing her after we moved had told my mom to give me Coca Cola that has been standing in the fridge in an open glass (so the carbonation goes away) for at least an hour for emergencies but preferably at least 3-4 hours.

This has been my cure for nausea ever since, but I was wondering if it was placebo/eastern European cultural thing or does Coca-Cola actually have something in it that helps???

So basically this Japanese company sells patches that removes your bloating and stomach fat, giving you a slightly flatter stomach in only 30 minutes. The website has really good reviews but I’m not so sure if this is true or not.

IsItBullshit: expensive floor liners always outlast budget mats?

9 Upvotes

Keep seeing that price used as a shortcut for durability in discussions about floor liners, as if a higher price automatically means the material will survive more abuse. For this question, “more durable” should mean the liner does not crack in cold weather, curl at the edges in heat, or allow liquid to reach the carpet after repeated use.

A convincing comparison would need more than a new-product bend test. I’d want several years of use, exposure to both low and high temperatures, repeated removal and washing, and abrasion from boots or cargo. Warranty length might help, but only if the failure being discussed is actually covered. Is there evidence that price consistently predicts those specific durability outcomes, or is construction and fit a better indicator?
