Yesterday i made a post claiming Simon Cowell had died. All of you were so quick to call me a liar, say i was wrong, ect... This is good, that was the point though.

It makes me wonder however, why is the general population so quick to believe things they hear through random uncredited sources?

Because a lot of us don't understand why a random person would take the time to create a fake story and share it. So at first were like.. really? It's possible since this world is crazy now. The onion, a fake news article, does such ridiculous stories. But they seem like they might be true, because how crazy shit is. The first onion story I saw was, federal government to start making feminine money. They were shaped like a bra or something. And I just remember thinking, this is totally possible with all the gender equality shit I see

If it even "seems" official, people will believe it.

Biases of course! Humans hold to these waaaaay to tight. Especially here in "Merica!"

We called you wrong and a liar because we have google. Also I have no idea what you're trying to say in this post.

Or just the people who replied to your fake news post? If it was to your replies, that doesn't make sense because nobody believed you.
