BOONE, NC – Exercising incredible powers of foreknowledge while scrolling through his news feed Wednesday, Facebook user Wilson Hayes miraculously knew to click “like” on an article without even having to read the piece first.

Based only on the catchy headline and high number of preexisting likes, Hayes was able to determine, without having ever experienced the actual contents of the article, that this was a selection worthy of his approval. Hayes said that his amazing feat of omniscience was brought on by only the vaguest of context clues.

“I just felt like it was really relevant to my interests,” Hayes said, “The headline said something about how Boone gets cold in the winter, and I was like ‘yeah it does.’ At that point, I just knew.”

Despite the near-supernatural nature of Hayes’ foresight, the ASU junior told reporters that miracles of this magnitude are not at all uncommon for him. Hayes said that he often repeats the feat dozens of times a day.

“It doesn’t take much to kick it off,” Hayes said, “Sometimes it’s a cool picture, or a funny comment somebody left. And sometimes, just the fact that someone I know already liked it is enough. I can’t describe how it works, but I just know that, if I were to actually click the link and read the article, I would be exposed to a well written, entertaining piece which I would enjoy and feel compelled to leave a like on.”

When confronted with such a scenario, Hayes said that his incredible abilities allow him to be more efficient when bestowing his praise.

“I figure why waste the time actually processing all of those words and forming opinions when I could just like it and move on?” he said, “I mean, that’s the whole point, right?”
