They changed to article. Edited out all references to diseases.
So crappy journalism.
I’m starting to think that link aggregators like the Threadiverse software and Reddit should keep a log of headlines, or at least headlines that they see, because it’s a real issue for discussion on those sites. Like, maybe check and update at a geometrically-increasing interval (at submission time, after 1 hour, after 2 hours, after 4 hours, after 8 hours, etc).
If you go back and re-read the article, you’ll find it’s been edited, and now has no mention of any diseases and says the monkeys weren’t infectious. So I think it was clickbait, after all.
Now that’s a headline that isn’t clickbait, it fucking click kidnapped me
Except that it did turn out to be lying clickbait.
Damn. I’m taking stock of everything we’ve lost in the headline:
My god, this might actually be good honest journalism!

Not real.
“Florida Man’s Outbreak Monkeys on the Rampage in Mississippi”

That’s just what the corpos over at Big Rhesus Monkey wants you to think.
