Internet Connection UTTERLY DESTROYS Lost Exotic Rainforest Tribe!!! // 251

About this episode

The episode discusses a viral fake news story about an Amazon tribe's reaction to discovering the internet, reflecting more on societal issues than on the tribe itself.

jk it's just fake news that duped conservatives yet again. This viral lie claimed that a remote Amazon tribe fell apart the instant they discovered internet pornography, but in the end it says a lot more about us than it does about the Marubos. go to patreon to never miss an episode https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills
