A coworker of mine started falling down the YouTube conspiracy rabbit hole. He said something about the moon landing maybe being a hoax. I told him that when I was in college I used the big telescope to look at the moon landing site, so I knew for sure it was real. After that, he believed in the moon landing.
Now of course I was lying about seeing the moon landing site. Terrestrial telescopes can't see the landing site. I convinced my friend to believe the truth by countering a lie from a stranger with a lie from someone he trusts.
Have you been telling this story a while? Or are you intentionally taking credit for something you didn't do for meme cred?
Edit: actually double xp meme credit, including the OP meme cred of lying for the meme and also the meme-ness of telling the story as OC
I have told it a couple times in various places over the years. It's entirely possible you've read it before.
