We got into the gerbil legend.

Yeah, like how did this become something that became known throughout in popular culture?

And why do I care? And what else is in my memory that I can't trust? Is this the Mandela effect? Remembering something is real even if it's not? Or is it an extremely long-running game of telephone where a joke about a pet gets twisted across a million retellings? I mean, it can't be true, can it?

As you get older and you look back at something like that, it seems completely preposterous.

So you're trying to figure out where would this have come and why and how would have it been propagated?
