RationalWiki

A wiki biased towards facts that was created in response to Conservapedia editors being blocked for correcting falsehoods, which is what Conservapedia is, a right wing falsehood wiki made in response to the non-existent liberal bias of Wikipedia. RationalWiki is often hated on by bigots, who don’t know that there aren’t people who cause trouble, aside from vandals. RationalWiki is aimed at debunking things like salt woo, food woo, or other types of woo.

RationalWiki is known for editors from Conservapedia who quit in response to the Conservapedia falsehoods.

The Mine song

A Internet meme from LazyTown that includes Stingy saying “This is mine!” It became a Internet meme when it was published on the internet

Stingy, you sung the Mine song!
This mailbox is mine!
And this triaginal sign!
The blue ballon, the month of June.
They’re mine (Mine 5x)
Ziggy’s sweets are mine!
That birdy’s tweets are mine!
The city streets and both of your feet.
They’re all imphatically mine!

I all belongs to me! Everything that I see!
Noord, Zuid, Ost and West
I caress it, ‘cuz I possess it!
I’m Stingy and it’s mine!
And this instrumental break is also mine!
The floor and ceiling are mine

All your feelings are mine!
You always knew it, that’s all there is to it!
It’s mine, mine, mine, mine, MINE!
That’s what I said; It’s Mine

Clickbait

Internet content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page. Ad blockers and a general fall in advertising clicks also affected the clickbait model, as websites moved towards sponsored advertising and native advertising where the content of the article was more important than the click-rate from users of the website. Chum boxes/chumbuckets are usually associated with clickbait, which they do, to some extent. "One weird trick" is a form of clickbait advertising that has been common on the internet since around the late 2000s. The formula used in the advertisements was first applied to weight loss products but has since been extended to cures for problems including hair loss and diabetes. Yellow journalism and the yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. Sensationalism is what clickbait is.

"THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR EYE COLOR..." is a title that is misleading clickbait. "Top 10 <whatevers> that exist in real life!' is clickbait that may include Pokemon as a object. Pokemon are not real, hence the title is misleading.
