Taking apart a microwave is fatal because it contains an electric bomb

Do never, do not ever take apart a microwave because you'll die. You'll get electrified. They've got like a bomb inside of them. ... You have a nuclear weapon in your kitchen.

Fact ClaimLifeMediumSarcastic
While microwaves have high-voltage capacitors that can be lethal even when unplugged, calling them a 'nuclear weapon' or a 'bomb' is scientifically incorrect.

Stan Musial invented the fist bump

I learned something the other day. I don't know if you guys heard this. Do you guys know who invented the fist bump? Stan Musial invented the fist bump. How crazy is that?

Stan Musial is often credited with popularizing it because he didn't want to shake hands to avoid germs, though its exact origins are debated (Freddie Patek is also mentioned).

The Squatty Potty is the medically superior way to defecate because of human evolution

I got it, bro. I got it. Okay. This is not a plug, but a Squatty potty... We sit regular, right? And that messes up our bowel movements. Right? So if he's leaning for a while... it could be coming out the wrong angle, but the Squatty potty lifts your knees to your chest. And the angles is downward. That's how we evolved to actually defecate.

Medical research generally supports that squatting straightens the anorectal angle, aiding bowel movements.

Boneless wings are slow-twitch muscles and bone-in wings are fast-twitch

Boneless wings are slow Twitch muscles and bone in wings are fast Twitch muscles. In terms of on the chicken... I think it has more higher mineral density.

Chicken wings (bone-in) and the breast meat typically used for boneless wings are both primarily white meat, which consists of fast-twitch fibers. The claim about boneless being slow-twitch is biologically incorrect.

Alcohol is a diuretic because it flushes liquid out of your body faster than you can hydrate

Al calls a diuretic. And why it dehydrates you is because it flushes all the liquid in your body, out through your piss. So even though it may seem like it's hydrated... It gets all your liquid out faster.

Scientifically correct, alcohol inhibits the hormone vasopressin which tells the kidneys to reabsorb water, leading to increased urination and dehydration.

It's a law of the universe that long-haired quarterbacks don't win Super Bowls

It's not even really long hair curse. It's just a demonstrable fact that long hair quarterbacks have never won a Superbowl... It's a law of the universe.

Historically, Super Bowl-winning QBs have almost exclusively had short hair. Kenny Stabler and Patrick Mahomes (who has curly/longer hair but not 'flowing') are the closest exceptions.

A scientific study proves that squirting is actually just pee

There was a study done on squirting where they hook an MRI machine up to someone's bladder... and the bladder's empty. Wait. So it's piss. It came from the bladder.

Many medical studies, including those published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, conclude that the fluid released is predominantly chemically identical to urine, though it can contain components from the Skene's glands.

Bangers. No matter what. That's just a fact. Pardon My Take is number one... We don't brag because, you know what, when you get to a point where you just don't have to brag because the people know.

British soldiers are mandated to sit down to pee in tanks

The British have to sit down when using the toilets in their tanks the piss because they can't stand up in the tank. I believe they like mandate it... I checked myself. That's a good fact check.

Most tank crews (including British) use relief bags or tubes; standing is physically impossible in most armored vehicles.

The umbilical cord acts like a snorkel so pregnant women can swim without the baby drowning

Umbilical cord is like a snorkel. So if you keep your belly button above the water is fine. That's actually fact for real. Yeah, that's how babies breathe.

Fact ClaimLifeFireSarcastic
Physiologically incorrect; babies receive oxygen via the placenta through the umbilical cord, but not by it acting as a literal 'snorkel' to the outside air.

Short people are being weeded out by natural selection

[Speaker 3] (1:21:17-1:21:25) No, if you look back in history, the human species has gotten taller as time has gone on, so the short people have been weeded out.

While humans have grown taller on average due to better nutrition, short people are not being 'weeded out' by natural selection in a biological sense.

Flushing the toilet while someone is showering can cause them to 'shower in poop'

Hank brings up a good point. It messes up the pipes. The poop gets in the pipes... You're going to be showering in your own poop, yeah. I don't want it to be fresh.

This is scientifically incorrect; plumbing systems are designed to keep potable water and sewage separate.

This is biologically false; total blood volume for an average woman is only about 4-5 liters total, and they do not gain 2 liters during a period.

Men only wash their hands after peeing if someone else is in the room

I only wash it when there's someone else in the room that's going to wash it and they look down on you... I was in the bathroom with one of our boss bosses... and it was like, okay, is he going to go? Are you going to go? I wish I had just had the balls to be like, hey, we're guys. Let's just not wash.

This is a generalization of human behavior that is difficult to verify but is presented as a common truth in the PMT universe.

Pee on your hands releases pheromones that make women find you irresistible

If you don't wash your hands, you're actually preserving the pheromones that women find irresistible. So a little pee on your hands... actually turns women into soup. Just melts that labia clean off.

Fact ClaimLifeFireSarcastic
There is no scientific evidence that human urine on hands acts as an aphrodisiac for women.
