**Title:** Debunking Common Lies and Myths
**Summary:**
In this video, the host (Beny) challenges common lies and myths that people often believe. The topics covered include:
1. **Watching TV closely won't make you blind** (confirmed by the American Academy of Ophthalmology)
2. **Swallowing gum doesn't cause stomach problems or stay in your stomach for years** (it passes through the digestive system in 30-120 minutes)
3. **Ostriches don't hide their heads in the ground to avoid predators** (they do so to dig holes for their eggs)
4. **Microwaving food won't harm you if you watch it** (no evidence supports the claim of microwave radiation escaping)
5. **There are more than three states of matter** (scientists have discovered over a dozen, including plasma, superfluid polariton, and supersolid)
6. **Medieval princesses' lives were not idyllic** (they were often used as pawns in marriage unions and lived in harsh conditions)
7. **Swallowing watermelon seeds won't make a tree grow inside you** (lack of oxygen in the gastrointestinal tract prevents germination)
8. **The Earth is not a perfect sphere** (its shape is more like an "ugly potato" due to gravity and geographical features)
9. **Christopher Columbus did not discover America** (civilizations had already inhabited the land for thousands of years)
10. **A day on Earth is not exactly 24 hours** (it's actually 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds)

2. **Eye fatigue, dryness, or headaches can occur**: From prolonged screen time, relieved by taking a 5-minute break every hour.
3. **Swallowing gum does not cause stomach problems**: Chewing gum moves through the digestive tract like normal food, digested in 30-120 minutes.
4. **Ostriches don't hide their heads in the ground to escape danger**: They do so to prepare holes for laying eggs, ensuring their young are protected.
5. **Microwaving food does not emit harmful radiation**: No evidence suggests looking at a microwave while it's on will cause health issues or sterility.
6. **There are more than three states of matter**: Currently, over a dozen states of matter are recognized, including Plasma, superfluid polariton, and supersolid.
7. **Medieval princesses' lives were not idyllic**: They were often used as pawns in marriage for strategic and political alliances, living restricted lives.
8. **Swallowing watermelon seeds does not cause a tree to grow inside the body**: Insufficient oxygen in the gastrointestinal tract makes seed germination scientifically impossible.
9. **The Earth is not a perfect sphere**: Its shape is more akin to an "ugly potato" due to gravity and geographical features, as observed by the European Space Agency's satellite.
10. **Christopher Columbus did not discover America**: Civilizations had lived there for thousands of years before his arrival, and he wasn't the first European to reach the continent.
11. **A day on Earth is not exactly 24 hours**: One complete Earth revolution, referenced by the stars, lasts 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds.
