Reminds me of when I would pad bibliographies in high school, I'd just copy paste a bunch of sources like this completely unrelated to the essay to make it look like I did more research than I did.

Wait, did teachers not actually check whether your source material checks out or not?

I mean it makes sense from a work stance where you could be dealing with 20+ individual essays with at minimum average of 5 or so sources, the average person may say fuck that lmao

They said High School, so that's 20+ per class

Nope. I tested it out, when reference the date I accessed a source, I would put dates like "Porktober" in there, never got any questions from the teacher. This was high school and not like uni or anything, so I'm guessing the teachers didn't care as long as I wasn't plagiarizing.
