In honor of Facebook ending its fact-checking partnerships, here are the funniest fact-checks of Babylon Bee jokes:

A running 🧵:

1. CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine To Spin News Before Publication

This was fact-checked by Snopes, and Facebook threatened us with suppression and demonetization for sharing false information. A classic.

2. Ocasio-Cortez Appears On 'The Price Is Right,' Guesses Everything Is Free

Thank you to the brave fact-checkers at Snopes for calling us out on this one. Otherwise people might have been fooled. Fact check: FALSE.

3. Ninth Circuit Court Overturns Death Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

USA Today, another one of Facebook's fact-checking partners, helpfully pointed out that this was satire.

4. With Moon Water Announcement, Trump Proposes Space Navy

Another fact-check from USA Today. (You can also tell it's satire because if you look really closely, you can see there's a picture of an aircraft carrier on the moon).

5. Trump: 'I Have Done More For Christianity Than Jesus'

In our defense, we wrote this before he actually said something like this.

6. Elevation Church Debuts Water Slide Baptismal

More great fact-checking work from Snopes here. (Well, OK, this one is believable).

7. Pope Francis Says Covid Vaccine Will Now Be Required To Enter Heaven

Another believable one, if we're being honest. Thanks for the fact-check, Reuters.

8. Ballot Drop Boxes Installed Along Border Wall

Despite our official statement to Reuters fact-checkers that this article is true, they insisted it was false.

9. California Considering Tax On Breathing

Snopes found this false, but we're pretty sure it's true?

10. Joel Osteen Apologizes For Using Lord's Name In Sermon

Another from Snopes, keeping us safe from Joel Osteen jokes.

11. Thanks To New Laws, VeggieTales Finally Introduces New Cannabis Character

Fact check: false, 420 times over.

12. NBA Players Wear Special Lace Collars To Honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Even the Guardian got fooled by this one. Sad!
