title: I am receiving call to a member function diffForHumans string error
body: <p>This is what my method looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function show(Game $game)
  {
      $discussion = DB::table('chatter_post')-&gt;whereId($game-&gt;chatter_post_id)-&gt;first();
  
      $chatter_post = DB::table('chatter_post')-&gt;where('chatter_discussion_id', $discussion-&gt;chatter_discussion_id)
                                               -&gt;whereNotIn('id', [$game-&gt;chatter_post_id])-&gt;get();
  
                                               dd($chatter_post);
      return view('games.games', ['game' =&gt; $game, 'discussions' =&gt; $chatter_post]);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can see all the data when I dump and die in dd($chatter_post):</p>
  
  <pre><code>0 =&gt; {#861 ▼
    +"id": 20
    +"chatter_discussion_id": 25
    +"user_id": 1
    +"body": "&lt;p&gt;Everything will be placed here&lt;/p&gt;"

    +"locked": 0
    +"deleted_at": null
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But in the front-end, when I try to user diffForHumans I see this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Call to a member function diffForHumans() on string 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is how my front-end looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@foreach($discussions as $discussion)       
      &lt;div class="flex"&gt;
          &lt;div class="avatar"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;blockquote class="main_content"&gt;
              &lt;p class="author_created"&gt;Author Name {{$discussion-&gt;created_at-&gt;diffForHumans()}} &lt;/p&gt;
              &lt;div&gt;{!!$discussion-&gt;body!!}&lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/blockquote&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  @endforeach
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why do I get the error when I call getDIffForHumans?</p>
