The Walt Disney Company announced “Discrimination Days,” on which white people won’t be allowed in its theme parks, a rumor that is circulating online. On Sept. 28, 2024, the TikTok account Mouse Trap News posted a clip claiming that the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, “will use a proprietary DNA-testing software to determine whether or not someone is white and can be allowed inside the parks. However, it’s worth noting that people who identify as nonwhite will be allowed in.”

Some readers seemed to interpret the rumor as a factual recounting of real-life events. One TikTok commenter wrote, “So we discriminate against white people to stop discrimination,” while another responded, “A day dedicated to non discrimination by withholding right of entry to a specific group of people. Sounds like a double standard to me.”

The claim was also shared on the official Mouse Trap News website the day prior, Sept. 27, in an article providing additional detail about the alleged change in admission rules at Disney amusement parks:

Disney World Announces Discrimination Days

Disney World announces Discrimination Days. On these days, anyone who is white will not be allowed in their theme parks. This is an effort to provide a safe space free from discrimination either now or in the past.

The idea is to repair current and past injustices against non-whites in the United States. According to an official statement, “We are excited to announce Discrimination Days. On these days, only guests who are non-white or identify as non-white will be allowed inside Disney World theme parks. We want to give guests the best experience and what better way to do that than with Discrimination Days.”

Disney will use patented DNA testing software to determine whether or not someone is white and can be allowed in the parks. However, it’s worth noting that people who identify as non-white will be allowed in. In fact, many are seeing this as a potential loophole

While Disney may do a DNA test to confirm whether or not you are white, you may be able to get in as long as you say you identify as non-white. The reason people believe this is because they don’t think Disney will discriminate against how someone self-identifies, only their race.

Claim – The Walt Disney Company announced “Discrimination Days,” in which white people aren’t allowed to attend the theme parks.

However, there was no evidence to support these claims. No such announcement was reported by any reputable news outlet, nor on Disney’s own website.

Rather, the rumor originated with Mouse Trap News, a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature. Its “About” page states:

Mouse Trap News is the world’s best satire and parody site. We write fake stories about Disney Parks stuff. From Disney Park announcements to Disney Hotel and resort news to made-up Disney partnerships, you can be assured that anything you read here is not true, real, or accurate, but it is fun. So technically our slogan The Moused Trusted Name in Disney News isn’t true, but we thought it was creative and funny, so we are running with it.

Moreover, the Mouse Trap News TikTok account describes itself as “!!Real Disney News That is 100% FAKE!!  Visit our website for full stories”

In conclusion, we labeled ‘Satire’

Psychiatrist Hideki Wada published a book called “80-Year-Old Wall” in March this year, and at that time Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also purchased a copy.

As soon as the book was released, sales exceeded 500,000 copies, becoming the best-selling book at the moment. If it continues at this rate, sales of this book will exceed 1 million copies, making it the best-selling book in Japan this year.

Dr. Wada, 61, is a doctor specializing in mental illnesses in the elderly. In the past 35 years, he has treated about 6,000 patients.

To sum up the book “80-Year-Old Wall” in one sentence, it is “an ode to 80-year-olds.”

Specifically, this book tells 80-year-olds how to live to 100 in good health in the context of the “100-year-old” era.

Currently, the “average healthy life expectancy” (the age at which one is physically and mentally independent and healthy) of Japanese men is 72.68 years old and that of women is 75.38 years old.

In terms of “average life expectancy”, Japanese men are 81.64 years old and women are 87.74 years old.

Subtracting “average healthy life expectancy” from “average life expectancy”, men have about 9 years and women have about 12 years of “time requiring care from others”.

How to minimize this time is the core content of Dr. Wada’s masterpiece.

According to this point of view, the elderly do not need to take sleeping pills frequently. It is a natural phenomenon that sleep time decreases with age, and no one will die from insomnia. 24 hours a day, sleep when you want to sleep, wake up when you want to wake up, this is the privilege of the elderly.

In addition, the cholesterol level that the elderly generally worry about is not a big deal even if it is high to a certain extent. Because cholesterol is the raw material for the human body to produce immune cells.

The more immune cells there are, the lower the risk of cancer in the elderly. In addition, part of male hormones is also composed of cholesterol. If the cholesterol level is too low, the physical and mental health of men will be unsustainable.

Similarly, it doesn’t matter if the blood pressure is high. More than 50 years ago, humans were generally malnourished.

Therefore, when the blood pressure reaches about 150, the blood vessels will rupture. But now few people are malnourished, so even if the blood pressure exceeds 200, it will not cause blood vessels to rupture.

Dr. Wada summarized the secrets of 80-year-olds to become “lucky people” into “44 sentences”, as follows:

1. Keep walking
2. Take a deep breath when you feel irritated
3. Exercise to the extent that your body does not feel stiff
4. Drink more water when using the air conditioner in summer
5. “Diapers” are very helpful for increasing mobility
6. The more times you chew, the more energetic your body and brain will be
7. Memory loss is not due to aging, but to long-term disuse of the brain
8. There is no need to take a lot of medicine
9. There is no need to deliberately lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels
10. Being alone does not mean loneliness, but enjoying a relaxing time
11. Being lazy is not a shameful thing
12. No need to pay for a driver’s license (considering that it is more dangerous for the elderly to drive a motor vehicle, Japan has quietly started a movement to “ask the elderly to pay for their driver’s license”)
13. Do only what you like, not what you hate
14. You can still have sexual desire when you are old
15. No matter what, don’t stay at home all the time
16. Eat whatever you want, a slightly plump figure is just right
17. Do everything carefully
18. Don’t deal with people you hate
19. Don’t watch TV all the time
20. Instead of fighting the disease to the end, it is better to coexist with it
21. “There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain” is the magic spell that makes the elderly happy
22. Eat meat, especially cheap red meat is best
23. Keep the bath time within 10 minutes
24. Don’t force yourself if you can’t sleep
25. Doing happy things is most conducive to improving brain activity
26. Say whatever you want to say, don’t worry too much
27. Find a “family doctor” as soon as possible
28. Don’t be too patient or force yourself, there’s nothing wrong with being a “bad old man”
29. Sometimes it’s okay to change your words
30. Dementia in the last stage of life is a gift from God
31. Stop learning and you will get old
32. Don’t be greedy for glory, everything you have now is good enough
33. Innocence is the privilege of the elderly
34. The more troublesome things are, the more interesting they are
35. Sunbathing makes people happy
36. Do things that are good for others
37. Live leisurely today
38. Desire is the source of longevity
39. Live in an optimistic state
40. Breathe easily
41. The rules of life are in your own hands
42. Accept everything calmly
43. People with cheerful personalities are very popular
44. A smile brings good luck

Japanese, Chinese or other races may have different views on the above tips. But we have to admit that there are many suggestions worth referring to.

Most importantly, the new word “lucky age” is really great!

It’s worth reading by following every point again & again in our life on this universe.

Even if there is no gain, I am sure that there will not be any pain.

Our anatomy lecturer always said this statement “brain is the only organ that grows with use”.

His words always ring in my head to this day, oftentimes I think my brain has grown a lot.

Claim: Goats have rectangular pupils.

On Sept. 10, 2024, a claim spread on social media about the shape of goats’ pupils. One Facebook user posted a meme that asked: “Have you ever noticed that goats have rectangular pupils?”

The caption read: “Goats are [grazing] herbivores and need to be able to protect themselves when a predator comes along. A broad line of sight, aided by wide, rectangular-shaped pupils, allows them to see danger approaching from their peripheral vision.”

(Facebook user My Love)

Earlier, a similar post appeared on Instagram in August 2024, while other iterations have circled on TikTok, Pinterest, X, and Reddit for years.

In short, because goats do have rectangular, horizontally oriented pupils, we have rated this claim as “True.”

Encyclopedia Britannica explained how the horizontally elongated pupils allow goats to have a much wider field of view: “Grazing animals like goats and sheep have rectangular pupils that greatly increase their peripheral vision and enhance forward vision. As the animals raise and lower their heads to eat, their eyes automatically rotate so that their pupils remain parallel to the ground.”

Another Britannica article, titled: “Discover why the eyes of some animals, such as sheep and goats, have horizontally elongated pupils,” said the eyes of sheep, goats, horses, and other grazing animals contain horizontal pupils to help protect them from predators.

Similarly, a BBC Science Focus article referenced a 2015 study from the University of California, Berkeley, which found that the evolution of vertical versus horizontal slit pupils is closely linked to whether an animal is a predator or prey:

A 2015 study at the University of California, Berkeley, concluded that the evolutionary choice between vertical and horizontal slit pupils comes down to whether you are predator or prey. Predatory animals with vertical slit pupils, like cats and many snakes, can maintain sharp focus across the horizontal field of view and more accurately judge distance to their prey.

Horizontal slit pupils, on the other hand, sacrifice image sharpness at the left and right edges in return for wider peripheral vision. This gives prey animals such as horses and sheep a better chance of spotting predators.

Below, you can see a close-up image of a goat’s eye provided by Getty Images:

The photo’s description read:

Combination of two photographs shows the close-up of an eye of the goat on April 03, 2018 in Izmir, Turkey. The horizontal pupils enhance the image quality of objects and enable a panoramic vision. Each of the millions of different animal species on the earth have different eyes with different functions according to the conditions. Each of these eyes is unique and perfect on its own.
