There are many myths about the European Union, so they released a list¹ recently where these are debunked. This was such a ridiculous read that I decided to make a small website that highlights the tone of these headlines a little more.

The thing is a small sideproject so before somebody complains: it doesn't really work w/o javascript : /

Edit: little explaination: the 455 myths are randomly stepped through without repetition and in the end it loops over. I toyed with the idea to play the european anthemn to those who make it all the way through, but left it out for the moment.

I also tried to make the myths permalinkable via location hash, but the counter will start again at [1/455] for new users.

Hey there. Loved it and will definitely share it.

My only complain is that the switching of the colors of the background is really quite annoying IMO.

Heh. I thought is was funny, but maybe I can add a switch to freeze the theme.

Yeah, that would be great.

Implemented it right away, see footer

Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated.

What about the myth that toilet seats exist in all bars? That would be a good addition. ;)

Right now my choice is limited to to myths with a official response and it is already too much to take in in it’s totality, but I will note it down
