If it sounds too crazy to be true, it probably is.
In this “Arthur” scene, Buster stumbles onto a truth many of us face every day: just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s true. From wild celebrity rumors to scary food facts, the internet is full of sensational claims — but how often do we stop to ask where that information comes from?
Arthur’s simple question— how do you know someone didn’t just make it up? — hits hard in a time when misinformation spreads fast. It’s easy to believe what entertains or shocks us, but real understanding takes more than a quick scroll. It takes questions, curiosity, and a willingness to do a little digging.
So next time you read something unbelievable, take a moment to ask: Who’s behind it? Where’s it coming from? And how do you know it’s true?
