It never ceases to amaze me that some of my relatives genuinely believe that's a real thing that happens regularly.
I've heard so many people parrot the cat litterbox story, even though it was an obvious lie from the start.
And even if it were true, I can't imagine giving the slightest fuck about it.
Dude, yesrerday my fucking manager claimed that a local high school has a litterbox because a student identifies as a cat. It was almost bar for bar the same fake story that Joe Rogan was saying months ago! I had to tell the other coworker in the room at the time that I'm almost positive that it's not true and where the lie comes from.
It's scary how many people parrot what they hear almost word for word with no thinking at all
That's what society is, it's not just them - we also tend to do this on some things. It's just a matter of realising that what society says may not be true after all.
The place that came from is that one school started keeping a box in the closet just in case there was a school shooter and someone had to go to the bathroom while the school was locked down.
Yeah it’s because our country’s gun problem is so out of control that our schools need bunkers and since the cops are too scared to go in, they need to be prepared to stay locked down long enough to need to piss in cat litter.
This is what I said to the last right winger I hear parroting the cat litter bullshit. He changed to complaining about Hunter in the next breath.
When propaganda is so effective it becomes the Mandela effect.
Even worse, in the cases where there are buckets with cat litter in a school, it's for active school shooter situations (about halfway down, where Columbine is mentioned).
