8 stories everyone believes are true, but turns out to be just a trick of the Internet only

The received information must be verified, if you do not want to receive a trick from the online community.
In a world filled with fake news, it is really hard for us to quickly believe any information on the internet. Even sites that are most trustworthy sometimes stumble upon misinformation. That is why we have to verify every information we receive, especially when it comes from social networks.

Here are the facts that many people believed absolutely, until they found out that they are just tricks of the Internet.

  1. Can’t you park your car on Japanese streets?

Truth spread on the Internet and reality

Netizens around the world often show admiration for Japanese streets, that the streets here look great because there are no cars.

In fact, this is only partially true. In 1957, Japan enacted a ban on parking on the street. However, some roads in Japan have signs that allow parking. In other words, there will still be cars parked on the road in Japan.

It is quite interesting that if you want to buy a car in Japan, you need to prove to the local authorities that you have a place to park your car. Either your house has a place, or you have to rent a parking space for the same price as a small apartment.

  1. Babies born on airplanes can fly anywhere, completely free of charge

Actually this is a quite complicated question, because each country will have different rules. In general, every child can hold 2 nationalities if born on an airplane. However, the problem lies in what second citizenship is.

Because the rules of each country are different, the second nationality can be from the country where the child was born, or belong to the country where the airline is carrying the baby, or depends on where you land or where you land. forward…

Some would argue that airlines would grant a lifetime free flight to a baby born on an airplane, but that’s not entirely true. Only a handful of African and Asian airlines allow it, most until the age of 21, or give away a few flights only.

  1. The truth about the dog-shaped mountain

Netizens around the world used to be very interested in the photo of the mountain with a lying dog. But in fact, this is a photo that has been edited, and the author of the photo corrected it.

The real photo of the cliff looks quite ordinary, although it also looks a bit like a dog.

The photo went viral on the Internet (left) and the real photo (right).

  1. Castle on the rock

Once again an edited work. The rock in the photo above is in Thailand’s Phang Nga National Park, while the castle is actually located in Germany.

  1. Takes 7 years to digest if accidentally swallowed a piece of gum

This is one of the information that many people believe, that if you swallow gum, it will take you 7 years to digest it. The purpose of the sentence is to prevent children from swallowing candy, but it is not.

Gum is made from natural rubber, a sweetener and flavor. Particularly for the rubber part, the stomach will not be able to digest, but if swallowed it will sooner or later come out by another way – that is your toilet.

  1. An elephant tree

I have seen it fake, but it turns out there are still many people who believe the photo above is real. Then the final affirmation: It is a photo that has been edited. Background in the picture is the garden in the city of Pristina (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), and below is the garden when there is no extreme fake elephant.

  1. Decoding super virtual gecko transform video

The video above once caused a storm in the late 2020, with the content of a gecko changing color when climbing a pencil.

But looking at that, there is no such good gecko. The video was actually posted by an Instagram account since June 2020, and was explained by the owner that it was created using computer software.

In fact, many people believe that chameleons can change color to camouflage based on their surroundings. But actually, geckos change color based on … emotions, and that’s how they communicate with the outside world.

  1. Canal flooded with flamingos in Venice

It is true that you can see flamingos in Italy, but not as many as in the photo above and not at that location. This is actually a creation by artist Kristina Makeeva, and Makeeva herself admits this is not a real photo.
