I think half of the people in the US use Snopes to confirm their beliefs and the other half disregard Snopes’ findings and put them in the biased media bucket.

snopes's kneejerk 'FALSE' followed by a page of lukewarm pilpul for everything from 'monster energy drink marketing uses satanic symbolism' to 'children being offered icecream in exchange for being vaccinated without parent approval' makes it a 'nopes' for me

So you disagree that Monster Energy isn't satanic?

not sure what you mean by 'is satanic' but the branding is obviously inspired by book of revelation tropes

The ads on this page made it almost unreadable and I didn't have much motivation to read this anyway, so I didn't. I'm just going to disagree based on the title, and chime in that Snopes was always terrible and always will be.

Block scripts from "assets.fastcompany.com" to get rid of the obnoxious thing covering up the page.

Rebirth? This reads like paid PR. I don't recall any sort of rebirth.
