Pool water isn't actually blue; the lining is white and the water is clear

No, the water's clear... I think the walls, the walls are white, the bottom's white and the water's clear... This is the hill I'm dying on right now. The teas were definitely black... the water is clear and the lining of the pool was white.

While water is clear, Rayleigh scattering makes large bodies of water look blue. However, many competition pools use white or light grey liners, making the 'blue' purely a reflection of lighting or depth.

Hot water, lemon juice, honey, and Tylenol is an effective strategy for treating COVID-19

I'm recommending also hot green tea, lemon juice, and honey three times a day because the hot water washes down the virus... and if they have a fever give them Tylenol anyway, that's all I have to say.

While honey/lemon can soothe symptoms, the claim that hot water 'washes down the virus' is medically false. Tylenol is a standard treatment for fever.

The East River is full of prehistoric bison bones dumped by a developer

Dirty Water Don... he's found a bone. He found a jawbone of a steppe bison, which is just a prehistoric, gigantic bison. He found the jawbone in the East River. So that means that it is true. There were tons of bones dumped there.

While a bone was found, the claim that it was 'dumped' by a specific developer is part of an unproven (though popular) local theory.
