Post

If a viral news post doesn't have: - Proper names of any of the people involved - Date it happened - Links to original reporting, especially local TV news for the US then it's not real.

The names part is the huge tell, because the first thing you should do if you come across a story that seems to wild, weird, funny or horrifying to be true is to find a proper name in the story and search it. If you can't find one, it's because it didn't happen.
