Manipulation - Lemmy.World

I keep seeing this “factoid” and I’m pretty sure it’s just bullshit.

Cats meow to each other all the time. They can meow in frequencies humans can’t hear but they didn’t start meowing just to “manipulate” humans.

Cats did however develop a specific type of meow that does in fact mimic the frequencies of a baby crying but it’s not the cats normal meow.

This is the first time I’ve seen the word factoid used for its actual original definition… but why you put it in quotes?
Maybe he wasnt 100% sure about the definition of “factoid” so he just kinda factoided the word “factoid” into existence :D
That’s actually exactly what happened.
