Posting anything on the Internet is a way to get people to believe things are true.
Anything posted on the Internet is believed to be true by at least 87% of the people reading it.
There's no easy way to verify anything posted on the Internet except by looking it up on the Internet and if you can verify it it still doesn't mean that you can believe it's true.
