He's owning the libs.
That's his Twitter business plan.

Damn, that's extreme. A family friend of my fiancee lied about graduating university too, then he lied about getting a job as a wine merchant. He was still keeping up the charade when he appeared on The Chase (British game show) and won £20,000. Although ironically, he got a question on wine, and got it wrong.

Since it's no longer very current, I guess I can post this:

The online "we're totally not Nazis" right-wingers seem awfully upset that the Texas mass-shooter has been identified as a Neo-Nazi and are trying to discredit any information that show that he is.
They doth protest too much. Why exactly would "not a Nazi" people be so butthurt that a mass shooter's been ID'd as a Nazi sympathizer?

https://www.odditycentral.com/news/man-claims-to-have-survived-on-soda-alone-for-the-last-17-years.html) Iranian man claims to have survived on soda alone for 17 years
I find this very hard to believe. Unless he has some rare genetic mutation that makes his pancreas impervious to the onslaught of sugar. And how does his body get all the other nutrients he needs?
Quote:
58-year-old Gholamreza Ardeshiri claims that the mere sight of food makes him nauseous and that he has been surviving on water and fizzy drinks like Pepsi and Coca-Cola for the last 17 years. It all started one night in 2006, when he woke up with a strange feeling in his mouth, one that he just couldn't get rid of, no matter how many doctors he visited. In the end, he decided to shun food permanently and has been living a perfectly normal life ever since. His family doesn't eat in front of him, because just seeing them makes him sick, and he gets all his energy from carbonated drinks. He drinks three large bottles of soda per day and insists that he never feels hungry.
....
The 58-year-old Iranian man is fully aware of the risks associated with the consumption of sugar-rich fizzy drinks, but he claims that he undergoes health checks routinely and has even undergone an endoscopy, all of which confirmed that he is healthy. He consumes these sugary drinks almost exclusively, claiming to drink only half a glass of water and maybe a glass of tea every week.

Yeah, I'd have to question how that's even medically possible.
The made me think of Wiley Brooks, the founder of the "Breatharian" cult who claim you only need air and sunlight to live.

Leader of bizarre 'diet cult' that lives without food and water caught eating McDonald's
Wiley Brooks, the founder of a strange US diet cult called 'Breatharianism', preached a daily intake of nothing but sun and air and Scarface actress Michelle Pfeiffer admitted to being drawn in by it
The leader of a cult that preached humans can exist without food or water was rumbled by followers who found him eating a McDonald's dinner.
Wiley Brooks, the founder of a diet cult called "Breatharianism", preached a daily intake of nothing but sun and dust.
It was sold as a way of keeping trim while expanding spiritual consciousness and gained a large following in the 1980s - even in Hollywood, screenshot-media reports. ...
Brooks himself claimed that he had fasted for 19 years non-stop and obtained his nutrients from the air and the sun. On a US talk show he announced that anyone could and welcomed others to do the same.
Quote:
Responding to Lefler's comments, he said "No one can prove I've taken any food".
But after he was caught scoffing at McDonald's, he weaved the fast food giant's fare into his philosophy.
According to Brooks, McDonald's branches are built on areas that are protected by higher energies and that they even contain spiritual portals.
He then told followers to slurp as much Diet Coke and gobble as many Double Quarter Pounds with Cheese as possible before meditation.
EDIT: I'll see if i can find the actual quote of his religious edicts about the quarter pounders and diet coke. OK, got the legit website with quotes from their founder:

https://www.breatharian.com/breatharians/)
Quote:
Much of this information is here to explain the question of "Why McDonald's and Diet Coke?".
Quote:
Would you believe a double-quarter with cheese and diet coke could possibly be 5d based? The frequencies of a substance in dictated by it component part. In other words, the sum total frequencies of all of its parts equal the base frequency of that item.
Quote:
The diet coke, in addition to not hurting your teeth, it actually helps your teeth. The 5d qualities in the diet coke acts as a type of binding agent which binds all other sugars and toxins (after-effects) in the meal being digested at that time to the beef in the burger. The beef acts as a catalyst that draws these toxins to the digestive tract and escorts them out of the body as waste. 5D (Breatharians) people can get some of their nutrition from solid foods, but the main source for nutrition is derived directly from breathing. All 3d foods, water and air are sources of harmful raditiation and hundreds of toxic pollutants. And I do mean ALL 3D FOODS, WATER AND AIR.
Wiley: I want to reiterate something I touched on earlier, "why meat?' Note that I did not say just any meat, I said the double-quarter poumder which does contain beef. I MEANT ONLY THIS BEEF.
As I said before, the cow consciousness is a group of fully consciousness, very high dimensional beings who don't experience death the way you think about it.

The story about Wiley Brooks getting busted in a MacDonald's sounds as absurdly dubious as his claims to live entirely on pranayama and air.

Well, Vice actually conducted an interview directly with the man himself:

Quote:
Why do you advocate people only eat double quarter-pounder with cheese meals and drink diet Coke?
Because they're the only things that are not radioactive.
McDonald's fast food?
Now, you see the mistake you're about to make? I didn't say “McDonald's fast foods.” I said, one sandwich, and one meal, with one type of diet Coke, and I tell you which ones to take. That's it.
Think about it this way: At some point he started claiming it's ok to eat McDonald's Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese, and drinking McDonald's Diet Coke. Clearly, he was already eating at McDonald's before that point in time.
Which seems more likely:
(1) he was eating in McDonald's
and nobody ever caught him, then one day just decided to preach that an oddly specific combo meal from McDonald's was the only holy food.
Or
(2) he was eating in McDonald's and caught by followers, then tried to weasel out of it by claiming the exact combo meal he was caught with was the only holy food.
He was also caught eating other food from time to time if you look at stories from the 1980s, but was able to brush those stories off:

'The truth is he sneaks into 7-Elevens and fast food places and eats just like the rest of us -- except worse because he has to rely on places that are open late into the night.'
This explains why it's all about fast food. Those are the only places he could sneak off to.

Hmmmmm. Wild unprovable claims from the middle east and a cult that claims impossibilities. I've heard this one before.
