I agree but then logically, surely there's more yo the story? If something is too ridiculous to be true then it makes me very suspicious.

Have you been hiding under a rock for the last decade?

No, quite the reverse. Ridiculous stories in the news often turn out to be clickbait when you dig deeper.

"Woman sues mcdonalds over hot coffee!"

"Scientist studying the thickness of custard!"

Maybe it's because I'm British and I'm used to our batshit crazy tabloid newspapers.
