That viral earthquake prediction article from last week still bothers me
I was scrolling through Facebook when a neighbor shared a news story claiming a major earthquake was due to hit our county within 48 hours based on some old scientist's 'pattern.' The article had no date, no named author, and linked to a site I'd never heard of. I spent an hour digging and found the exact same prediction posted online back in 2018 with zero quakes to show for it. Has anyone else seen these recycled panic articles pop up in their feed lately?

Block the site next time it shows up.

Honestly that's a bit extreme. Sometimes sites have a legit reason to pop up, like showing a notice before you can comment. Can't just nuke everything that doesn't load perfectly the first time.
