Floor and foundation enthusiasts, crawl space enjoyers, here is probably something going on that you have not seen before. Seashells, hemp crete, cork etc.

Can people tell true from false news?
Yes! Our meta-analysis shows that people rate true news as more accurate than false news (d = 1.12) and were better at spotting false news than at recognizing true news (d = 0.32).
