it's a bit of a stretch to accuse the poster of same of spreading "dis-information".

It was the point sailing over your head.

Seriously, get over yourself.

You can start by trying to wrap your head around the fact that you not finding a thread amusing does not automatically render said thread as being unworthy of ever having seen the light of day.

That attitude is damned near Trumpian in its egotistical self-centeredness.

(as the title references) As such has zero news relevance or interest. And it is not even passingly humorous. Why are we posting it here? What purpose is served in passing around crap memes and photos?

but I think it's mostly ok to post things like this when it's made very clear that it's not real. Even though the material will still likely get around and get used without such identification.

In particular, Deepfake videos, with how effective they are, do a lot to undermine truth and give excuses and "outs" to people who don't want to believe genuine, empirical facts.
