I feel like this post from 4chan is relevant:

Statistics are fun.
This sounds like something the writers at the Onion would concoct! :)
Before you know it, all of Scandinavia won't exist!
time to concoct a devious master plan telling people that china doesn't exist
This is one of those times when darling daughter goes to college for that degree in journalism only to exit college with that Bachelor/Masters degree...and see journalism is dead. They can't get a job at a mainstream newspaper. They can't get a job at a mainstream magazine. So they go 'independent', hunt all around the internet for something to write about, and shoots out their story to some really obscure website that has a readership following based on those that use the internet for porn, and sometimes actually read something too, that may also actually pay them money.
Then they hope that no one does research themselves, and finds out that the reddit posts in question were actually from 2014, and have been sitting quietly for years until someone with a college degree is trying to do anything except porn just to earn $100 for their story.
That is why I like this board. We would Never Ever tolerate people with crazy crackpot conspiracy theories. It would be two much to deal with.
North Dakota isn't a state! The Moon Landing is fake! Freemasons run the Country!
Conspiracy theories are sometimes offensive, sometimes crazy, sometimes funny.
Now I hope our Reptilian overlord masters doesn't read this message.

If I recall correctly, he did it to demonstrate how people will fall for the most insane conspiracy fantasies.

It already doesn't exist for me in a certain social network blocked there :evilgrin:.
I also enjoy pretending Teruel, the smallest provincial capital in Spain, doesn't exist. This is derived from a campaign the people of Teruel started about 20 years ago stating that "Teruel exists". And of course it exists, otherwise I wouldn't have driven all the way there in mid June.

The Moon Landing is fake!
The moon landing was not fake! If it had been, we'd never have obtained this final definitive proof of the flatness of the earth.
