    I think this meme is about the old story of calling 911 and pretending to order a pizza. This was a viral story almost a decade back and stayed in social media platforms as a real thing. However this widespread social media publicity actually helped a victim. Details are in the previous link. This worked only because the operator was aware about the internet lore and was able to connect it.

    In summary don’t do it. Operators will disregard your call.

      Downvoting in general confuses me so often. There are times where a simple stated a fact, not even something controversial, will be downvoted. I’m like, who goes around just downvoting at random? The most recent one I recall is someone saying that everyone comes back to life in fighting games and I pointed out that Kliff from Guilty Gear never came back and I got downvoted for that. Like what??? I was hoping to get some replies and have a decent conversation there, but my comment got hidden due to the downvotes.
