Neat "puzzle" from Reddit

Not sure if puzzle is the right word for it, but the Reddit user said they got this position OTB, black blundered in one move and got checkmated.

What's really interesting is that it looks like Black can't avoid perpetual either, and the best Black can hope for is a draw.

Anybody have other interesting puzzles or positions to share?
I find this an interesting rumor.
A drunk Alekhine drunk was playing a simul, and he moved a knight from one board placed it on the adjacent board delivering mate on both boards.
really? this thig is possible, yeah, i miss this and i retire of chess FOREVER
it would be frustrating to be that far ahead and not get a win, but what about:

...Ke7,
dxc8=Q Qe2#

would that not resolve this for white?
forget my last post, I see d8 for white solves my suggestion above
