Today's dumbest clickbait for July 24, 2024 [1]

['Ellsworth Toohey']

Date: 2024-07-24

Another day, another cavalcade of deceptive clickbait. Today, I'm saving you from clicking on four articles that don't live up to the promise of their headlines.

Headline: "Chilling five words Secret Service agent uttered after finding Trump shooter dead on roof" (Unilad)

The agent said, ""So, this is the guy."

***

Headline: Trump Explains Why He Really Picked JD Vance As His VP—And People Are Cringing Hard (Comic Sands)

"We've always had a good chemistry."

***

Headline: 'I'm an Infectious Disease Expert, and This Is the Most Commonly Overlooked COVID Symptom Right Now' (Parade)

An upset stomach.

***

Headline: "Conan O'Brien Completely Broke After Lisa Kudrow Revealed What She Genuinely Hated Most About Friends" (The Things)

She disliked the live audience laughter.

***

There you have it. If the Internet still exits tomorrow, you can expect me to write another.
