The Internet, while awesome, is also a mind-boggling marvel of b.s. production and dissemination. Since the rise of social media, we get more and more of our news from each other, and far, far too many of us aren't asking ourselves the important question:

"Is the amazing news I'm about to share even f'ing true?"

Because most of the time, we don't need somebody else to debunk these stories for us -- not if we know what to look for.
