What the world is fact-checking right now.

““NASA just confirmed that July 2026 will have 25 hours in a day because Earth is slowing down.””

There is no NASA confirmation of a 25-hour day in July 2026, and measured changes in Earth’s rotation are tiny (milliseconds), not hours.

“what are the odds of you actually exsisting? is it 400,000,000,000,000 i think it is”

There is no single, scientifically agreed number for the “odds you exist,” and the specific figure 400,000,000,000,000 is not a standard or verifiable estimate.

““The FBI said former President Trump’s ear was not hit by a bullet during the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt.””

““NASA has issued a warning that a ‘city-killer’ asteroid could hit Earth in 2029.””

““The Internet Archive lost its National Emergency Library lawsuit and now has to destroy the digital copies it scanned.””

Courts ruled the Internet Archive’s National Emergency Library infringed copyright and the case ended in a settlement requiring the removal of the challenged books, but “destroy” is imprecise because the remedy was to stop lending/remove access rather than physically destroy files.

““The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that homelessness is illegal nationwide.””

The Supreme Court did not criminalize homelessness nationwide, but it did allow cities to enforce bans on sleeping/camping in public even when shelter space is unavailable.
