One of the latest trending hashtags on Twitter right now is the #broomchallenge and it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds. It all started with someone spreading the FALSE rumor that NASA announced Earth was at a “perfect tilt” and broom could stand on their own.
Today- According to NASA the Earth is on its axis to where a broom will stand on its own. #broomchallenge pic.twitter.com/to0Vz9yzmn

And like most things announced on the internet, no one does any fact-checking and rolls with it.
