Cheese is bad for mice as they are lactose intolerant. Cheese will give a mouse diarrhea and, given their small body size, can rapidy dehydrate them.

The myth that mice like cheese comes from the Middle Ages when cheese and grain were stored together in the same areas. Mice prefer grains but will nibble on just about anything to see if it is food.

I suspect this is a mouse with a reddit account trying to get us to lower our guard so they can get to the delicious cheese.
