I'm noticing that in recipes on the internet [View all]

Last edited Sat Jun 21, 2025, 01:19 PM - Edit history (1)

they are at times giving the wrong times. Like "blend a smoothie for one hour". Things like that. A few months ago I noticed historical OPs on the internet would have the wrong place or year of an event. I wondered then as I do now are they trying to make us not trust information? If that is part of seeding the conditions where fascism will be accepted?

Anybody else come along obvious mistakes in sites that used to be solid (solid for historical OPs)?
