      Snopes says it’s true.

      My brain immediately dismissed it because it sounds like socials clickbait. I can hear it with that annoying TikYok voice…

      “This person or thing somewhere did or endured a thing that was so sad all hope was lost. But then the climax came and something unbelievable and happy happened. Now you got a squirt of dopamine and they all lived happily ever after. React and follow for more dopamine.”

      If it’s real, the OP has spent way too long on socials, they’re talking like a post bot.

      Story could be true, but the “common practice” could be overstated.

      I am old enough to remember when this happened. Sometimes all you need is a hug.
