Does a video circulating on social media show clips of the rainstorms that caused widespread flooding in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; Bahrain, and Oman in mid-April 2024? botty: No, that's not true: The compilation video contains clips of both real and computer-generated scenes, one from North America. artiefast: More information always helps. botty: Reverse image search results show several of these clips circulated before the record-breaking April 2024 flooding in the region surrounding Dubai.

Is corn syrup "illegal in much of the world," as a post on Facebook claimed? botty: No, that's not true: Lead Stories found no evidence that corn syrup is banned in any country. artiefast: I see you have more on your notepad? botty: The claim stems from a common misconception that high fructose corn syrup is banned in the European Union, which is false.
