> There is bias about History depending on what country is telling the story.
A funny example of this is fan death [1]. Comparing English to southeast Asian languages show that Asian languages pages suggest that it's real (at least last few times I translated it).
An, in a bit of relevancy, the Japanese page has been overwritten with "I love you" and "I'm sorry".

- mr_toad 3y agoWell that was bizarre. But if you have a government agency saying that electric fans can cause asphyxiation, and even that they have data to provide it, can you blame people in that country for believing it?
