Search for 'credit card down' and you'll see very widespread reports of machines being down at Lowes, Shoprite, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Circle K, Home Depot, Whole Foods are just a few of the brands I've seen multiple twitter users mention, and the places being mentioned are across the country.
The Toast system is down, too.
Lots of people tweeting at company brands complaining that they can't accept cards. Lots of exasperated retail workers, too.
Ha! Great to know there is a word for this phenomenon.
I encountered this first hand on the Wikipedia page “Substances Poisonous to Dogs” [1] subsection about Onions & Garlic. The only citation eventually self-references the same Wikipedia page from whence you started.
I was already skeptical that the single most common vegetable and ingredient in human food was somehow poisonous to dogs, but now convinced it’s entirely made-up.

Over a half dozen of those tweets are just parroting this HN post. Perhaps VISA is down, perhaps it isn't, but there's a lot of noise in the signal.

American kennel club claims garlic is poisonous to dogs, if they eat several cloves per kg body weight... That's a lot of garlic.
Willing to bet a human being would get sick of they ate 200-400 cloves of garlic as well
