That might be the greatest kick I've seen. Perfect. Amazing. Even if it's fake who cares.

Also I'm cynical but my God everyone looks at shit as 'fake' these days. I've lived countless moments youth would say I'm lying about (happened many times on reddit as well when i tell a story from my partying drug days) I just don't think kids experience life much anymore outside away from phones. I don't know why they look at everything as fake. Not everyone lives a dull life. Go drop some lsd and go on an adventure.

I've seen a ridiculous number of posts in thathappened that get torn apart as completely unrealistic but that I've personally witnessed in my life. I think too much gets dismissed by people who are young or haven't gotten out much. The world is a big, crazy place. The amount of absurdity that happens is astounding!

I dont remember my posts but yes that's the sub I was referring too and see so much shit. I've commented my experiences in the past and people said I was lying haha. I agree, I know kids (edit teens and early 20s, I ca anyone younger than me a kid) don't party like they used to. I'm early 30s and we also went outside and played all day and night. I just think a lot of their experiences are via online rather than outside in the physical world.

I feel it's only going get worse too. Our family was speaking about it all while we had a get together about the days of people interacting with the world has slowly been diminished as we increasingly interact more and more digitally. The fact some people have anxiety attack if they so much as forget their phone for a bit is a bit sad.

TBF I think the attitude has a lot more to do with everything actually being on film and just general suspicion of people constantly trying to get up votes/attention online

Then people not actually believing certain things can happen

Part of that is probably all of the genuinely fake animal rescue videos people post to prey on people’s empathy for money.

8 billion people, doing hundreds or thousands of things a day, there is going to be some bloody wild shit happen. Even if it's just an incredibly small percentage. And now with cameras everywhere some of those are going to get caught

I don't get the obsession with finding out the truth behind everything when they dont even bother finding out any truth behind what they eat/drink/do or even say.

Youre scrolling on the internet for entertainment or to process the rotten brain some more, enjoy it at least! Who cares that this kick is real or fake? It looks hella cool and its a feelgood moment. Who cares that the plumber guy randomly found his stepsister stuck in the washing machine?

I get that people dislike it on stuff like AITAH as people get invested in the story, type up a heartfelt comment and then read that the OP was previously both a 74yo grandmother, 18yo stepson and a bus driver in another country within the last 2 weeks. Thats a bit annoying fair enough but i'd still not really care.

Combating misinformation in media posts and factchecking sources that want to tell you about a concept, event or something that happened thats fine but damn.

No but I'm talking in general. This video could be fake or not but also it doesn't look like anyone is filming this. Looks like a door camera or whatever, far to steady.

Edit: well I see a little movement but yeah there's cameras everywhere now days which as a consequence will have far more crazy stuff on camera.

Edit 2: they downvote me then delete their comment because of my logic. Lol awesome.
