    Except most people can’t be bothered to verify anything. They see a video on Ticktok and assume it is true

      Too true.

      See it here daily. Some Xitter fool gets screen capped saying “world tallest cat measured in Beijing at 6 feet tall”

      … first. 5 comments “wow!” “That’s huge” “he’s taller than me ! “. “So cute “

      The next 5 are like “fuck the chinese and their cat steroids”

      Finally, some hours later, someone observes that it was a line from futurama, 6 years ago” ….but it doesn’t matter now, because everyone has moved on with their day, telling people about the huge cats in china
