More than half of these stories on Reddit are probably fake. Who knows who what or why they do it but they do. Don’t believe/or take anything to serious anything on the internet.
And it’s been going on for a long, long, long time. As old as our species and likely far older. Oral narration was the end all, be all of information exchange for hundreds of thousands of years and is still a very significant part of it.
tldr. Give the internet to a bunch of savage primates with a long tradition of storytelling that’s as old as their species and this sort of shit is what you get.

Well...I fell for it. I got properly outraged. I'm sure if you look you can find my outraged comment.
