Oh god, yeah! I want to see what that picture's about, and the picture's not even there!

Another one I remember was there was this photo of this girl's knees after she was made to kneel on frozen pease for punishment. Then a few years later, the same photo was used for a clickbait article about something that cures diabetes or something. I'm like, kneeling on froze pease cures diabetes? But no, they probably used the picture because the thumbnail looked like two fingers holding some grains or something.

Haha all those weird photos they use for some fake medicinal article are amazing. Sometimes they get kind of bloody as well, and I don't like that at all. I think they have a bot looking for a picture based on what the author wrote, so the picture might get really weird.

I usually get the "five foods you didn't think have a lot of sugar in them" and sometimes it's a picture of interesting food, but in the article it's just bananas, soft drinks, another fruit, white bread... Like geez, think of something new.
