Not sure how this is relevant considering you didn’t make a specific, qualified claim. Saying something “Sounds fake as hell tbh” isn’t a qualified claim by any reasonable metric. If you had instead said, “This sounds fake because <reason>” that would be qualifying your claim.

No one has ever had a bad neighbor? Or no one has ever complained about petty bullshit on Facebook? Or Karens aren’t real?

“nowing their they’re” makes it pretty obvious it’s fake

Not really. They use there wrong early on in the rant. If anything, stuff like that makesit more believable to me.

I’m not sure it’s fake, some people really are that stupid though.

That a particular post “sounds” fake as hell is indeed a specific, qualified claim.
I’m not saying that nothing similar ever happened at any point in time. I’m saying that this particular post sounds fake as hell.
