okay so the internet this week this one woman has been doing the social experiment that has pretty much like set everything on fire this lady in kentucky has been calling local or she's been asking people hey give me your church's phone number and she'll call the churches and say hey i have a baby that needs formula will you help me and it's been wild because almost all the churches have said no they were like we're not gonna help you and she's been recording the conversations and people have been putting together spreadsheets

So she might be changing the course of American history because this is one of the wildest social experiments I've ever seen.

Well, she's basically just being like, she posted a video about like why she did it.

She was like, I just don't want it to see like if a church would be willing to help me in this situation.

So what she does is she calls a church and she plays the sound of a baby crying in the background.

She's like, hi, I ran out of formula last night.

My baby hasn't eaten in 12 hours.

Like, is there any way you could help me with formula?

Certain churches have been like, absolutely.

Give us your name, your number, your address.

We will like do everything we can.

Other churches have been like, sorry, you're not a member here.

We're not going to help you and you're hungry, baby.

And so what I guess her sort of like motive was is one, not to like shame these churches or whatever, but just to show you like, hey, what's going on?

And also to be like, hey, we should all be more giving and like look at some of these great churches.

Like she called a mosque and they were immediately like, we're going to help you.

And so it's been really interesting to see how it's played out.

And like some of these churches have like doubled down and be like, we're not helping you.

You don't go here.

And it's been really interesting to sort of see like how it's played out in the public reaction.
