Every now and then I realize that some of the things my mom say are just straight up lies. Like if she doesn't know an answer to a question, she'll just make it up. Or she'll see something on Facebook and call that a reliable source. Its annoying.

Older generations really started out with "You can't believe stuff you read online, anyone could have made that up!" Only to turn around and swallow whatever charismatic influencer or ai has to say (but somehow still resort back to "the internet isn't trustworthy" When it comes to peer reviewed journals)
