This Quiz Will Determine If You Are A Fake News–Fighting Superhero

It's 2018 and we're having [political conversations about Bigfoot erotica](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mbvd/a-political-candidate-accused-her-opponent-of-liking)?‍♀️

It's real!

This is a real Instagram post by a Republican House candidate.

A mix between a melon-headed whale and a rough-toothed dolphin, the new creature has been lovingly dubbed a "wholphin" by the internet. [Here's everything you need to know about it.](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mbvd/wholphin-whale-dolphin-hybrid-ocean-mammal-new-species)

Researchers have discovered a new animal, which is a mix of a whale and a dolphin.

Far-right trolls and conspiracy theorists [have tried to push this hoax](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/far-right-trolls-lgbt-pedophilia-hoax) onto the LGBTQ+ community, certain celebrities, and even the self-described "antifa," but it's not true.

It's fake!

There is a movement in the LGBTQ+ community to accept pedophilia as a sexual orientation.

Sombra has [helped capture over 245 criminals](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/colombian-drug-cartel-apparently-put-a-hit-bounty-on-sombra) and is now being moved around Colombia for her own safety.

A drug cartel put a bounty on a police dog because she’s sniffed out over 2,000 kilos of cocaine.

Tiff Van Buskirk, the woman in the photo, borrowed the neck brace for [a Twitter joke that some took seriously](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/bradesposito/girl-broken-neck-face-tweet). Her neck wasn't broken. It was, however, sprained.

A woman’s girlfriend sat on her face too hard and broke her neck.

An [NPR interview taken out of context](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kassycho/no-japan-is-not-facing-a-ninja-shortage) caused a whole lot of confusion. Because of depopulation in Japan, Iga, the city that's known as the birthplace of ninjas, doesn't have enough people to open a second ninja museum. But it's not hiring ninjas. The confusion caused the mayor to call a press conference and issue a statement denying the ninja shortage in several different languages.

Japan is hiring ninjas for $85,000 per year.

The beer company is getting in on the weed game, but the drinks won't have alcohol in them, [according to the Canadian Press.](https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/08/01/molson-coors-canada-cannabis-drinks_a_23493764/?ncid=other_trending_qeesnbnu0l8&utm_campaign=trending)

In Canada, where marijuana is about to be legalized, Molson Coors will develop cannabis-infused drinks.

Don't worry — it will get better. Do some reading and stay vigilant. Better luck next week.

You're drowning in fake news!

You don't always get to the bottom of the story, but you sure know how to dig. Keep your ears perked up and stay skeptical.

You're a fake news detective!

You took up arms against fake news and sharpened your swords. Only a few stories have gotten by you, but your arsenal is strong. You're ready to run into battle.

You're a fake news knight!

Congratulations, you're unstoppable. Nothing can beat your BS-detecting instincts. But keep your nose to the ground. Fake news is always around.

You're a fake news–fighting superhero!
