This was thankfully debunked as fake

Edit; I looked for the post, I couldn't find it, IM SORRY. There was evidence that she made it up for clout but I don't remember anything more than that.

So it doesn't actually work well when you say that the claim without source was debunked... And you also don't provide source.

Whatchoo talking about, bro?

The meme itself is not even a source.

Like, me saying I had lunch with sasquatch is not something someone needs to rigorously debunk.

I mean I get what you're saying but... One is a hairy apeman people claim to see in the woods, the other is companies doing something unethical and shady to improve their bottom line which there is absolutely precedent for.

Yeah it's unlikely this story is real but your analogy makes no sense

A restaurant stole my wallet once. Prove me wrong.

I once had a train run on me by JP Morgan, Goldman and Sachs, and Blackrock.

Hell yeah brother

there was probably some profit to be made, they'd totally do that. it's not like they would be held accountable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Both are things people will believe without evidence because they want to believe it.

A hairy ape man in the woods is cool. Shitting on businesses is cool.

It's a fucking meme, of course it doesn't have a source. No one in their right mind would trust this as fact anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

No one is claiming a meme needs a source. That reply said it was fake. Maybe true, but again provide a link if it is.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Damn that restaurant has every angle of this thing figured out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I've seen others saying it's legit.

Also would be pretty hard to substantiate or debunk definitively.

Concrete evidence would be, say, the tiktoker in question being caught out or admitting it was fabricated.

I'll show you my source if you show me yours.

Dang so it’s advertising that this is an untapped idea

Hire the VAs (Virtual Assistants) now to start ghostkitching (catfishing)! Great return on investment 😬

Good luck taking them to court, they don’t even show up for their dates
