This definitely happened
I just thought about the "Duh it's fake" comments that were slowly inching me to insanity on reddit.
Please don't bring this over to Lemmy. Please.
80% of popular posts had a popular comment saying something is staged or fake. It's so uninteresting, unoriginal and beating a dead horse so to say. Even for litteral movie scenes we had popular comments saying it's staged.
Sorry for the rant and it's not particularly for your comment. It just was a massive trend I noticed on certain subreddits. Could probably farm karma just making a bot saying some variation of "it's fake" to every posts.
Honestly, sure. You make a valid point.
Fake text messages are like the laugh track of the internet. There are plenty of absurd things that actually happen on the Internet so having to create fake situations cheapens authentically funny situations.
Sites like 9gag are filled with these things because they are low effort ways to make an unfunny joke plausibly funny.
its a sitcom for paragraphs
Here's the thing, how are you ever going to prove that a message is real or not? Maybe there's a way to do it, but honestly that's more effort than anyone is going to go through.
So you land at 2 situations, either you don't post any messages ever, or stop complaining about it being fake in the comments because some people might find it entertaining, regardless of whether it's real or not.
blockchain! haha kidding
It's just a joke, I don't think you're supposed to think it happened
i was trying to be ironic, but failed, its all good.
Oh. Sorry
no harm no foul
I thought it was a joke about future millennial/zoomer grandparents.
and in turn, by then nobody will believe anything their personal AI didn't tell them.
