ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Post-truth

Post truth is when people make decisions based on how they feel rather than relying on facts and evidence. It happens when people don't bother to check if something is true before they accept it as fact. For example, if someone sees an article on the internet that makes them angry, they might believe it even if it isn't true and spread it to other people. This can be dangerous because it leads to people holding false beliefs and making decisions that are not based on facts.
