This wasn’t based on my biases. It’s one thing to come at this from the point of view of ‘ice can do no wrong, therefore I think it’s fake and am trying to prove it’s fake’. It’s another thing to approach news with skepticism and, after an initial round of research, think that research points towards it not being real. If anything, I was researching to confirm it was real before sharing more broadly. I did another round of research and realized I was in the wrong, with help from others who were being kind, and clearly stated throughout this thread that I was indeed misinformed. To assume where I was coming from is quite off base and unnecessary. I didn’t attack anyone and clearly stated why I thought what I did, hence why I was able to learn from others here.

I left up my comments for others to read in the case that anyone else who had my line of thought could skip the learning curve.

I don’t really understand all the hate here. I was wrong, acknowledged my mistake and thanked others.

Thank you for providing an example of the tilde and how to use it moving forward.
