To preface this I was dead scrolling through Reddit as our species tends to do on weekends— and I noticed this post with like 20k upmarseys of this strange little guy. My first instinct was wow look at this weird potato but then I looked at the subreddit and saw that it was an alien subreddit. Thinking this must be some sort of joke I immediately slammed on that open comments button.
What I found was truly baffling. Everyone believed it! It took me a solid 5 minutes to scroll through to the bottom to find any type of criticism of the picture in question. And that's when the slap fights commenced the further down you go.
If you want a good laugh just honestly sort by best but since this is SRD here's some spots that I noticed and there's a lot more that I didn't have the time to link.
