      I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:

      “the saying used to be ‘it’s too good to be true’ has morphed into ‘it’s too horrid to be false.’”

      On reddit it’s usually best to just assume something is for attention

        The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn’t happen.

        Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS

          That’s a good point, I am surprised by the amount of people who don’t seem to care if something is true as long as it’s “entertaining”. It’s probably a similar mindset to enjoying reality TV or pro wrestling?

      If I agree with it, it must be real.
