Is this real or AI?
A viral TikTok of raccoons on a trampoline. Sift read 300 comments.
Sift
Likely AI
Snopes fact-checked it and found it AI-generated. Commenters spotted the same thing.
Snopes fact-check
Is this true?
A YouTube Short that says people eat eight spiders a year in their sleep.
Sift
False — a fabricated urban legend with no scientific or medical evidence.
The “eight spiders a year” figure was made up. Snopes and Scientific American both checked it.

What song is this?

What’s the joke?
A video of a cat asleep in an empty box, next to an expensive new cat bed.
Sift
The cat ignores the fancy bed and sleeps in the box it came in.
Most commenters say that is the joke: cats always pick the box. @boxcat_fan: “The bed cost $80. The box was free. The box wins.”
What happened after?
A reel on Instagram.
Sift
Guy goes to jail for DUI and hit and run; his dog Mac goes home for a nap.
According to the top comment, the man faced jail time while his dog Mac went inside. Most other comments joke that he is intoxicated or high.
What’s the recipe?
A pasta video with no recipe in the caption.
Sift
Creamy garlic pasta. The full recipe is in a reply.
From the comments: @pastaclips lists 200 g spaghetti, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 cup of cream and parmesan. Five replies say it worked.

Ask a 1-hour video
Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture, over an hour. Asked: “When do they talk about brick walls?”
Sift
Three moments about brick walls
- NASA said no, so he found another way in.
- Brick walls filter out the people who don’t want it badly enough.
- They separate dreamers from everyone else.

More than a summary.
Real or AI?

Finds the other parts
