Lmao

Seeding fake news in the minds of clueless folks is quite fun feeling, you should try it sometime. Makes you feel like a god, shaping the reality itself

Unpopular opinion it seems, but it's true. I successfully convinced a dude that "zebras aren't real, they're just horses painted to look like that. Big Zoo is just lying to sell tickets." I was kidding but he believed it and it just made it that much better lol.

I'm not doing it as some crusade against any -isms though I just think it's fucking hilarious.

That sounds fun, you changed his life forever. From now on he will always think that just around the corner there is a Big Zoo agent, waiting to get their hands on an unpainted horse.
