watching a tiktok and someone just described the black/blue gold/yellow dress meme as “one of the first things to ever go viral”

ok the irony and misinformation in the tags is making me insane. leprosy? caused by bacteria! and not actually that contagious! tuberculosis? bacterial! bubonic plague? also bacterial!! if you want an early viral infection smallpox is right there! polio! hell, even influenza! bacteria ≠ viruses!

I didn’t realize it was intending to imply that leprosy was a viral illness and thought it was simply wishing leprosy upon tiktokers for their ignorance

Hahaaa

ok so. Best interpretation of the initial quote is that it indicates tiktokers learning to use weasel words

Specifically, learning that the phrase “one of the first” is meaningless enough to be technically true almost all the time
