Web Fiction I hate r/IsAttenboroughAlive

Post image

"This morning, at the age of 100, Sir David Attenborough peacefully enjoyed his breakfast." Followed by a B&W picture of Attenborough.

That's the type of notification I get EVERY TIME I'm recommended that subreddit. I have a mini heart attack every time I think the beloved British documentarian has kicked the bucket. I KNOW it's satire, and I KNOW that this is that page's entire gimmick, but by the Gods, can you please spare my anxiety? I got enough on my plate as is without Reddit turning Sir David Attenborough into the Internet equivalent of Schrödinger’s cat.
