Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What is the biggest "lie" told to people in human history?
- Demonizing MSG
- Definitely not the biggest, but I remember reading na yung eating carrots = good eyesight was WWII propaganda to hide the fact na gumagamit ng radar tech yung UK. Kunwari yun yung source ng accuracy ng soldiers nila, especially at night.
- Earth is flat.
- High consumption of fat, not sugar, can lead to heart disease

  Until today, people still demonize fat. Ayan imbalanced tuloy sila sa nutrients. And stop buying low fat milk! Just buy full cream unless lactose intolerant ka.

I found this on FB Marketplace today for 200 pesos.
Best case, this might be recordings of local boxing matches in channel 9/RPN. That block had plenty of lost media commercials and I could be stumbling on a gold mine here. Worst case, American broadcasts. All in all, worth the gamble for a small price. We'll see in a few days!
- Anong boxing kaya yan?
  
  Just got it. Boxing nga pero wala commercials, haha.

According to a "24 Oras" report, Hamor got angry after Kamikazee declined to take a picture in their tourist attraction Thousands Light Roses.
Huh. Persona non grata dahil sa picture? Sana may mas malalim sa kwento na to kasi kung eto yun reason, medyo ang babaw.
- Kamikazee got Imelda'ed
  
  Reference:
  It caused an uproar when the Beatles didn't attend a reception with Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos on July 4, 1966 at the Presidential Palace in Manila. Local media incited the outrage, and the snub almost caused the band to be injured when they left the country the next day.

Sa mga data hoarder dito, kailan kayo nagpapalit ng flash drive? Itong SanDisk Ultra Flair ko (64GB) na mag-limang taon, umiinit kahit nakasaksak o naka-read lang. Itong flash drive lang tumagal sa akin ng +2 taon.
