Social Media Myths & B*******s
« on: March 31, 2020, 10:07:18 AM »
A thread in another section has prompted me to suggest a light-hearted thread to shine a small light in these dark times.

What's you favourite Internet Myth ?

Here are three of mine to get you started :

1. You can recharge the new i-phone 4 by putting it in the microwave on full power for one minute.

2. If you drive while wearing flip flops you will invalidate your car insurance

3. Don’t use a pencil to put your cross on a voting slip. MI5 will rub it out and change your vote

( Please can we keep this in good taste )

The Top 50 urban legends, albeit mostly American, are on Snopes.com

If you put 'internet myths' into Google there's probably enough reading material to last throughout this 'lockdown'.

2 is. But only if they don't match the colour of your tutu and crash helmet.

I certainly wouldn’t use a pencil to put my cross on a voting slip! Not concerned about MI5 though  ;)
