I finally looked into that viral photo of the 'giant rat' found in a London sewer

Honestly, I saw it shared a bunch last week and assumed it was real until I checked Snopes and found out it was a photoshop from 2015 based on a nutria. Ngl, it's wild how these old hoaxes just keep coming back every few years. Has anyone else dug into a fake photo recently and been surprised by how long it's been floating around?

Yeah, that "even after it's been debunked" part is so frustrating.

Honestly I just started sending Snopes links to my uncle every single time.

Tbh, what makes people keep sharing stuff like that even after it's been debunked for years?
