We draw the belief
The myth goes up first, in plain ink, exactly the way you were taught it. No stock footage, no AI slideshow — a hand, a marker, and a board that fills up as you watch.
New explainer every week
Everything you know is a little bit wrong.
So we redraw it.
Handorial takes the things everyone believes — and nobody checks — and redraws them on a whiteboard. Fact-checked before a single line is drawn.
One email per video: the myth, what's actually true, and links to the research. No spam, unsubscribe in one click.

Bulls hate the colour red.
They can't even see it.
Not a slideshow. A whiteboard.
Every explainer is drawn stroke by stroke while the story is told — the same hand, the same marker, from the first line to the last.
We cross it out
Then it gets struck through in red, and what is actually true is drawn in green right next to it. You see the correction happen, so you remember it.
We show the receipts
Every claim goes through a fact-check before the voice-over is recorded. What we could not verify, we label unverified — out loud, on screen, and in writing.
Every claim ships with its source.
Most explainer channels ask you to trust the voice. We publish the list instead: what was claimed, whether it held up, and where to check. Including the ones that did not hold up.
Cattle are dichromats — they have no red-sensitive cone at all.VerifiedJacobs, Deegan & Neitz, “Photopigment basis for dichromatic color vision in cows, goats and sheep”, Visual Neuroscience (1998)
The bull charges because the cape moves, not because it is red.VerifiedMythBusters, Discovery Channel, episode 71 (2007) — replicated with still red, blue and white capes

Matadors use red so the blood shows less on the cloth.UnverifiedRepeated widely, no primary source found — so we say so on screen instead of asserting it
