Social networks are so used and hold such a large amount of information that it is often difficult to tell the truth from what it seems.

The latest case most likely has to do with the viral footage coming out of Beijing, where it looks like the streets and the vehicles parked there are almost covered in maggots. A spectacle worthy of a horror movie, so much so that it forced the locals to open their tents to avoid any of the so-called peaceful creatures.

But that’s not enough, the news is also full of evidence of fish falling like hailstones in Lajamanu, a town in the Australian desert.

Theories are many, and the most scientific comments speak of a rare but not exceptional event, where the force of a tornado can transport for miles small animals like these above.

In any case, there are conspirators and apocalypse enthusiasts who say that it is about the irrefutable signs of the “Doomsday”, the clear warning that the World, this world at least, is coming to an end. Others, more skeptical, content themselves with the analysis of the images, which actually seem to tell a different story.

If you look closely, the images of worms mostly come from a video, somewhat unclear, where the worms could very well be what we all know as poplar flowers, which especially when wet in the rain turn into long creatures without clear form.

Meanwhile, the video accompanying the Australian fish news was actually taken from a road accident in Norway, where a container full of fish crashed onto the highway. The fish that have actually been seen in Australia may be the result of the aforementioned tornado phenomenon.

Often times, a deeper control of social networks can save us from the nightmare for the future.
