Just a meta though. Given this is 'false' via Snopes (as expected).... And lets say you buy into the term fake news... Well you don't get much faker than this.

Just a meta though. Given this is 'false' via Snopes (as expected).... And lets say you buy into the term fake news... Well you don't get much faker than this. I get people are easily fooled for a short period. Read a news site, it takes a hour or two to think it over. But this story is > days old. It's past mob mentality level. And if it's happening on this story what other HN stories would it effect..... Stories on morality I guess. This is in part a 'evil Cubans' meme. SciFi, we all want cool tech that breaks the laws of physics. Appeal to authority? We're trusting in the US government officials to not be incompetent? Mysterious... maybe is actually poison seems the next step in the meme's evolution.... As mentioned in the comments Canadians have caught this meme as well. It travels well in the populous, how does one create spaces were these memes are fire walled off?
