And what about the story of the internet forum posters who prevented a summer camp counselor from building a child-killing zipline? Was this real, or did our writers... zip past you?

a man. a plan. a swamp. an amateur architect and contractor who built his home with shockingly protected stairs: fact, or fiction?

What would you do if you received an offer that was too good to pass up? Is this creative comeuppance p-p-powerful true? Or was this famed forgery a fake?

The Machine To Kill Children

IIRC it was real and the goon did post an update on Twitter or somewhere many years later. RIPline was never used as intended, the owner eventually sold the camp and the original receiving tower became the launch tower for much smaller ziplines that were appropriate for kids to not die on.
