The sun is a keyboard cowboy and a bitch

So the sun's like basically a little bitch, like a keyboard cowboy. Or the sun is just... We show up to its grill, and we're like, hey, say something to my face. And the sun's like, no, we're good here.

The sun is a star and cannot be a 'bitch' or a 'keyboard cowboy.'

Bill Nye is a fraud who has been catfishing America for 30 years

He's a stand-up comedian that created this character that has no scientific background. Basically, Bill Nye has been catfishing America for the last 30 years. Right. So the fact that he says the sun is hot is further proof that it's cold. I would absolutely conclude that. But he's a proven liar. All he's done his entire adult life is lie to us.

Bill Nye does have a mechanical engineering degree but is often criticized by contrarians for his 'entertainer' background. The 'sun is cold' claim is scientifically false.

Tom Brady is right that drinking water prevents sunburns because fish never get sunburned

Tom Brady has actually – he's the scientist who has found the nourishing effects of water. Well, I'd like to point out that I've never seen a sunburned fish in my life, and they are just surrounded by water all the time.

Fact ClaimLifeFireSarcastic
Drinking water does not provide a biological barrier to UV radiation. Also, fish can actually suffer from skin damage and 'sunburn' if exposed to high UV, though they are usually protected by water depth.

Tom Brady never dated Ivanka Trump because her vagina is too acidic for his diet

The female vagina, the pH levels of it, 3.5 to 4.5. It's acidic like a tomato. No chance Tom Brady eats it. Like a glass of orange juice. No chance. Inflammation city if you touch that thing. Ass, I didn't know, so I checked ass. Ass is actually more pH neutral. So he could have eaten her ass.

This is a satirical application of dietary restrictions to biology. It is non-verifiable and scientifically absurd.

The Sun is not actually hot because space is cold

There's a big conspiracy theory out there that the sun is not actually hot. ... If the sun is hot, why is space cold? ... The sun is probably the biggest fraud of all time if it's cold. ... If you're on the surface of the sun, you'd be fine. You could have a picnic on the surface of the sun.

The sun's surface temperature is approximately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and its core is millions of degrees. Space is cold because it is a vacuum with few particles to hold heat.

The sun is on the Hot Seat because its glare could cause the Bills to lose

Miami Dolphins to beat the Bills this weekend because she [USA Today podcast host's mom] doesn't think that the Bills are going to be able to handle the glare of the Miami sun. It's a fair point. Developing situation. Let's keep an eye on it... The sun is on the hot seat right now, so this could really be it.

The Dolphins did beat the Bills 28-25 that Sunday, though glare's contribution is unquantifiable.

Squirrel tail circumference predicts the length of winter

You look at the squirrel's tail, the circumference of a squirrel's tail will tell you how long the winter's going to be... That's a little farmer's almanac trick for you.

This is a common folklore myth (fluffier tails = harsher winter) with no proven scientific basis for long-term prediction.

The sun is officially beatable after Ben McAdoo's week one plan

So the Giants are 1-0 against the Sun. And the Cowboys are 0-1 against the Sun. So Sun's taking a lot of L's this year. It sounds like the Sun is very beatable. Between Tebow and McAdoo, it's a down year for the Sun.

Satirical take; the sun's performance is not a trackable NFL metric.
