    Back in my day we assumed everything on the internet was false, and we liked it.

      And then we watched Dana Carvey do an old man on SNL and whine and complain the whole time, “wah, wah, wah. I’m an old man. Laugh at me.”

      And we liked it.

      One thing I have noticed is that most people assume that these obviously fake posts are real. I personally just assume everything is complete bullshit until proven otherwise. I guess I’m in the minority.

        I assume it’s fake, but there’s not much to talk about in that case, so I look for the people who think it’s real and then engage with them since their opinions are based how they feel about this very fucked up situation if it were real.
