Who cares? Just enjoy things for what they are. Believing this isn’t tantamount to saying the sun revolves around the earth and we dunno if it is fake or not.
Just be, my guy. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation, it doesn’t build on anything, it just tears down and is deconstructive over a funny post for no reason whatsoever. It’s just you personally rolling up, pointing and going “FAKE.” You appear to be new here so lemme just say to leave this type of toxic and unhelpful garbage on reddit.
Astrology is just a compendium of story tropes than can help people find advice for themselves in a fun and engaging way. That’s how I see it, and that’s how I use it. Truth and reality aren’t as easy to define and you might think they are.
I agree that truth and reality aren’t easy to define, and I think astrology is fairly harmless, despite being untrue.
But on the other hand we can’t just ignore reality and pretend that anything could be true. The whole course of human history has been a slow and painful journey towards a more accurate understanding of the universe. That’s how we’ve been able to invent and discover all of the things that make our lives so much easier (in theory), by trying to figure out what reality is and how it works.
To discount the importance of truth is to embrace nihilism, and that doesn’t seem like it benefits anyone imho.
In the specific context of this thread, reading made up stories on social media has been proven to cause people to become severely detached from reality. This is one of the major reasons why millions of people refused to get vaccinated against Covid and subsequently died from Covid. So I think it is important to call out made up stories when we see them, because it’s hard to know the downstream effects of what will happen when people’s perceptions of reality get warped by reading things on the internet.
Of course it’s impossible to prevent entirely, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to seek the truth when possible as a general principle of being a responsible adult and cultivating an online environment that values truth and quashes misinformation.
I feel like things being real or true matters. Maybe that’s just me
So you don’t watch any fictional movies, don’t watch stand up, don’t read books, none of that? Or are you just drawing an arbitrary line?
Moreover, you do not know if it is true or not. You are making an assumption and then insisting that assumption is reality. So why should we trust you? Or even her? We shouldn’t. We should do what I said. Just live your life and stop getting hung up over policing the reality of someone elses world based off of an assumption you’ve made.
This is just sad. If you were going through your own life going “Fake” that’d be one thing. But you’re just actively jumping into a comment section to throw shade and question a post. You are actively using more effort for something you don’t think is real than the thing that happened. You could do what the rest of us do and just move on considering this isn’t remotely important and the veracity of it doesn’t make any difference. Also because it’s a funny story and generally the majority of us don’t start questioning peoples funny stories.
Like… do you do this at parties? Or is it only acceptable because it’s online?
Grow up dude. Seriously. This is some just childish behavior with a good helping of narcissism. I’m just gonna go ahead and block you now because if this is the type of content you’re just putting out there immediately then I seriously doubt you’re going to have anything to contribute later that will be constructive.
I think its legitimately a problem with the internet. There are enough people out there that take this sort of thing at face value as true. I think it makes everyone dumber.
I’ve posted shit that was inaccurate or at best dubious on social media. I’m guilty too. But I also got called out.
As for parties, I’m autistic and incredibly obsessive. I’m only OK at parties when I’m drunk or high otherwise I’m a ball of miserable anxiety.
Getting real “That happened” vibes here.

You talk to people about your astrology sign without really believing in that shit too?
