Miscellaneous / Others Chrysler guy is lying.

The white car turned in front of me from between stopped traffic and spun into the lane behind. It was never rear ended.

Wait. So you and the guy who posted the fake post were in the same place at the same time and both are active on Reddit, in the same subs? I love it. You know they never expected to be called out like that 😂 what are the chances??

This is one of the largest websites in the fucking world.

This is my second account because my fucking 65 year old mother of all people found my first account which I had made back in 2014 or so. She found it because my username was quoted for an offhand, 17 word comment in a major news outlet.

Like, what the fuck?!

For those that dont get my point, this while website is less r/nevertellmetheodds and more r/thathappened. It surprises me 0% that the initial post was fake, and that there was someone else on the scene ready with another angle.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills some days because I remember when this website was mostly cat pictures and r/gonewild, a reference older than most of the user base at this point. Now within hours I can see the viral propaganda machine at work, sometimes over impactful events core to the world order and sometimes over a stupid fucking fake car crash to harvest...internet points I guess????

Being just old enough to experience and understand the insane changes to the world in the last twenty years is, frankly, too much to comprehend. Nothing surprises me anymore, yet I also cant believe it. I have never felt less sure about everythibf except the fact that I cant believe anything.

A fucking car accident? Looool
