Falsehood: Weather affects the entire world equally.

Weather is different in different places!
1) Not everywhere has a sunrise/sunset:

2) December != Winter and August != Summer
Seasons aren't the same everywhere. Too many times, I've had a friend from the Southern Hemisphere complain about getting a little snowman animation in their weather applet or on the Google homepage during December, when it's the middle of a blazing Summer for them.
3) Temperature doesn't mean the same everywhere:
What might be "Mildly sunny" in one part of the world might be dangerous to those who live in a country without air-con in the slightest, legislated double-glazed/vacuum-insulated windows, brick-walls and with people who are not used to wearing sun-cream or how to prevent heatstroke.
That tweet has been removed. What did it say?
@algogrit If I remember correctly, it was somewhere along the lines of a phone crashing and being bricked if you were so far north enough to not have a sunset time.
Thanks @Snuggle for these contributions! I'll be happy to add them to the list but it is the first time I receive raw content. Other times I always get links pointing to external articles.
Do you have any proposition to properly made these tidbits available other than in a GitHub issue? Maybe I can self-host these falsehoods directly in this repository. What do you think?
