yeah sometimes i forget how much crap on X is simply made up by people trying to score a repost.

a notable example of this was that young woman walking around in only underwear in public in Tehran - every person who posted the video on X also added their own caption about who she was, why she did it and what happened to her afterwards. only problem is in every single instance it was all made up.

nobody actually knew anything about her but people can't just say "here is a video that is going viral - i have absolutely no idea why or what is going on here but please retweet anyway" so they all made up stories, each one custom tailored to their audience.

it is kind of sickening how little regard anybody has for truth.
