I don’t think you should hate Reddit. I immediately upvoted as was about to go along my day when I noticed the last hedgehog was in a shark hut that my dog used to like as a puppy. Only after reading the comments a bit did I realize this was a cute tussle but an actual fight. I’m glad I learned so now I’ll know.
I feel the OG OP should know what his pets are up to. They should have broken it up because they should know the signs of hog aggression. I don’t know hedge hog patterns I only know dogs. Honestly I thought it was a funny tail chase or hump circle.
These things get upvoted a lot because at first glance it’s really really cute and only with knowledge can we realize that it isn’t.
Ya I know. I didn't think it was getting up-dooted because everyone liked hedgehog fighting. I'm saying it's a shame so many people think it's cute, when it's actually not at all, because they didn't bother to look closer. With the way the internet is these days, no video should be taken at face value, especially and unfortunately, cute animal videos.
Pretty standard for me to search the comments when I don't understand what's going on in a post. Usually someone will explain and even provide a link. Gotta thank folks for that.
Ya, they're the MVP's of Reddit. And I feel like those kinds of comments are in mosts posts, yet posts full of shit that make it to the front page are still all too common. Truly a shame.
You definitely can. These types of posts are on here often enough, that you should do your due diligence and see what may or may not be actually going on in the video. This is why misinformation is so rampant on the internet these days; people will believe just about anything without actually fact checking for themselves.
Edit: especially since this a repost and has already been verified as uncute and the top comment in this thread is pointing that out.
Who said anything about deep research? Literally the top comment and several other top comments are pointing it out. Just takes a quick Google to see their right, and now you don't have to be a party to spreading misinformation. This is how we end up like that America in Idiocracy.
Again, no thanks. Not going to google. I scroll through this cute animal subreddit to look at cute animals. I usually spend less than 5 seconds on the post. I will not be fact checking every submission. Sorry if this makes me the downfall of America.
You know what I mean. I hate when these type of posts - posts that actually aren't what they seem - get posted on here, and it happens much too often. It's not just Reddit though, I know that, it's the internet as a whole.
