the lands that are now Romania used to keep a lot of Romani slaves. I've read that current Romanians have a fair amount of Romani ancestry though they don't like to admit that. Sort of like "white Americans" having black slave ancestors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_...

Little known is that the center of the Earth, its core, is entirely water. Water flows downhill the core is the bottom of the hill. Ever notice there are no gold nuggets on Earth's surface? There used to be but they were given to dwarves in a deal where they had to pump water out of the core

The more outrageous the lie, the more it becomes a badge of group loyalty to assert it. Because there’s zero chance anyone who wasn’t in the cult would repeat it just because it makes sense.

The Resurrection of Donald Trump and his deification? Reminds me of the below popular Hitler fake quote. The actual quote, "my spirit will arise from my grave and one will see that I have been right" was made up by Ribbentrop who claims he met with Hitler just before his death. (he didn't)
