I love 😬 that we’re now at the point where “is this real?” is ambiguous between:

• did the story factually occur in our shared reality?
• was this story actually posted to 4chan?
• did a human even make this image?

And at this juncture with the common addition of “chat, is this real?” we can further add:

• does the audience exist?
• does the person sharing the image exist?
• do I exist?
