Caught a real deepfake of my cousin, but only after 3 viewings

My cousin sent me a video of our grandma saying some wild stuff at a family dinner in Chicago last month. I almost shared it until I noticed her earring glitched between frames around the 7-second mark. Pulled up the original footage from my phone and the lighting on her face didn't match the room at all. That convinced me to run it through a luminance grid filter, and the math was off by 8 percent. How many of you check earrings or jewelry first when something feels off in a video?

The earring glitch is a good catch, but did you check the reflection in her eyes or any glass on the table? Those are harder to fake than jewelry.
