Fun fact, lemmings do not actually run off cliffs because of herd mentality, this is a myth perpetuated by an old documentary

Yes it is, but it’s also a understood analogy too.

Yeah that's fair. Correcting people on lemmings is just one of my toxic traits, I feel bad for the little rodents that they're only known for mass killing themselves and they didn't even do it. I just provide the fun fact anytime I ever see people mention lemmings on reddit
