That's because it is a news brief written by someone having heard a stdh.wav and deciding, well, they don't have any ads they can put there.

I hate to be a stdh "well actually" guy but in high school we had a kid that was a diabetic and he was fiddling with his glucose reader under his desk and the teacher was like "what are you doing, put away that Gameboy" and he was like "it's my glucose meter, I'm a diabetic" and the teacher was red-faced and shook af

A lot of it is plausible, but embellished beyond the point of believability with things like applause or people fleeing in shame, or just wholly unremarkable events presented as if they were the most exciting moments in the teller's life. I was once confronted by one of Lyndon LaRouche's flunkies who told me, apropos of absolutely loving nothing, that I needed to "get out of the video games and spend more time in the real world", apparently prompted by the fact that I, being in a good mood, had hopped down the last few steps outside my college's student union building near where he was set up. Apparently jumping = video games. I said, "excuse me?" and he replied "it's called reality, you should check it out some time" and handed me a magazine that declared computers to be satanic mind control devices or something like that. My response was something along the lines of "are you kidding me with this bullshit" and he tried to argue his point for a bit before deciding I must be "on something". I shot back "yeah, it's called reality, you should check it out some time." Dropped the magazine and walked off. In stdh land, he would have run off red-faced and speechless, having been persuaded of the wrongness of his views, and the crowd would have applauded. What actually happened was he yelled "oh, come on, you were just waiting for a chance to say that". Goddamn right I was.

He's diabetic and was about to hit a sugar low.

STDH can very well be subtle changes/exaggerations to otherwise plausible interactions. Like making a note that the person was DEFINITELY red faced and visibly shaking, when in reality they just looked annoyed. Or saying "the entire class broke out into laughter" when really a couple people snickered under their breaths and the rest were just confused/not paying attention.

i just don't udnerstand why people screenshot the useless comments underneath the story. even the stdhs that manage to be amusing get the life sucked out of them b/c someone less funny had to comment and completely undermine the punchline, and whoever is uploading them doesn't know how to use the crop function

That actually did happen, there's a youtube video of a fan dancing with Michael Jackson in a 2002 concert. Though, whether it was this guy or not Idk. The fan was tall af.

But the story wasn't just a fan dancing with him, it was him starting to sing the song and then Michael Jackson danced with him, not the other way around. I'm not going to look for the video because who gives a poo poo, but unless that youtube video shows him dressed like him and wearing a headset, it didn't happen. I'm sure tumblr ate it up either way though.

I'm sure tumblr ate it up either way though. yeah at least 4,500 people believed that dude when it's screenshot, and you're right. I looked up the video, and it was a woman who was asked on stage by Michael, and that's the only recorded time someone's ever danced with MJ on-stage, so I'm dumb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOlEQkvHax0

I think he might be trying to suppress a not so pleasant memory of his time with Michael Jackson as a 13-year-old.

A guy claims that when he was 13 he accidentally wound up backstage at a Michael Jackson show, was mistaken for MJ, and sang like MJ so perfectly that the real MJ was so impressed he danced with him on stage, the whole arena stood up and applauded, and the first thing you post is "Hey maybe this actually happened". Why is everyone so loving stupid?
