Like it's stupid how easy it is to make up misinformation and disinformation, compared to how much effort it takes to refute it. Humanity is doomed.

I could just as easily say: "The Oregon fire department couldn't get to the fires in time because they had been stopped by immigrant caravans, woke transgender hitchhikers and antifa mobs!!!!!!"

It also spreads so much faster; I’ll always hear the lie from someone before I get the chance to look it up for myself, so I can’t refute it.

The problem is that the original tweet will have been seen by many more users than the reply. And knowing what the public is like...

Meanwhile conservatives are working overtime on further dividing the nation with false information.

Humans are truly vile creatures.

This is the worst, this is the number one problem right now. And this is precisely what the Elon Musks of the world want.

Alright, I've read enough here.... My conclusion; California fire IS gay.

Now, don't get up and clap. This was figured fair and square via research. I scrolled endlessly and stopped when I saw the appropriate comment that supported my hip-O-thesis.

I particularly like the truck/engine correction.

Fun feels-untrue fact: there are more trees on earth than stars in our galaxy.

Someone mentioned that on Twitter once and like 90% of the replies were calling them stupid
