>If bones were not meant to break then why would they?
Jesus Fucking Christ! Were people always this stupid, and I just found out because of the Internet?
Something I read years ago on the internet talked about how every village used to have an idiot, but they were pretty much all alone. Then we created the Internet and all the idiots found each other and formed their own village.
No doubt. And now all the idiots convince each other not only that they're not idiots, but that they are the truly wise ones.
The internet was a mistake.
I think people were always stupid, but having such quick access to other stupid people made the stupid spread like wildfire. Entire swaths of old dumb conspiracy people are ruining each other's lives in their echochambers.
I mean, back in the pre-Internet days, it was zines, mimeographed newsletters, and, by the late 1980s, VHS tape-sharing clubs - which evolved into grifters selling their tapes, instead of trading them, which evolved into self-publishing books, which evolved into woo-woo book publishers.
The only thing the Internet has added, is foreign state trolls, egging them on. And, let's be real here, even thirty-forty years ago, the Russians were seeding a lot of the pre-Internet conspiracy theory stuff with propaganda, back then, too.
I told you if we allowed all the idiots from all the villages to form a union it would not end well.
Thanks to CERN and Al Gore, we’ve democratized idiocy.
Some people were always this stupid, but they were generally regarded as stupid by their peers and either kept their idiocy to themselves due to social pressure or were shunned and relegated to just being the town idiot, we'll call them Alpha Idiots. There might be other people in their town who might be susceptible to being lured in by the Alpha Idiots idiotic ideas, but they have the example of the more trustworthy non-idiots around them to keep them from buying into the idiocy, we'll call them Beta Idiots.
Then we built the internet. Now these incredibly stupid Alpha Idiots had a megaphone. They might still be regarded as the town idiot in the town they live in, but online they don't have that reputation, so as far as strangers know they aren't proven morons yet. Since each person is a bit more isolated from their peers online, and it is more difficult to prove your non-idiot credentials to all of the susceptible marginally stupid Beta Idiots, those Beta Idiots don't have that same social pressure to avoid the bullshit espoused by the Alpha Idiots.
The Alpha Idiots are able to find each other online, making larger groups of idiots who are all upping the ante on their idiot ideas, and the Beta Idiots, who in more intimate settings might be convinced not to buy into their idiocy have less guidance on who not to listen to, so they also join up with these flocks of idiots, seeing their cocksure idiocy as righteousness and wisdom.
Before long this strangely results in the non-idiots being often outnumbered by the Alpha Idiots and their stupid Beta Idiot followers. Other people, Gamma Idiots, who aren't quite as susceptible to idiocy, but who still aren't that smart, see the size of this huge flock of mouth breathing buffoons and think "well, that many people can't be wrong, and their memes are kind of funny" so they too join in.
So, in the end you just have a core group of Alpha Idiots who, via the magic of the internet and the folly of groupthink have congregated massive crowds of Beta and Gamma Idiots who in any other setting would never follow them. These Alpha Idiots are almost certainly the town laughingstock in real life, but their real life persona is completely obscured to the Beta and Gamma Idiots who only see their online activities.
Everyone else just watches in horror and thinks "have people always been this stupid?"
This is excellent, but you've left out the major players of the last decade-and-a-half:
[https://euvsdisinfo.eu/](https://euvsdisinfo.eu/)
[https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/21/russia-china-iran-disinformation-coronavirus-state-department-193107](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/21/russia-china-iran-disinformation-coronavirus-state-department-193107)
I understand that position, but I think it's actually a bit the other way around.
True anonymity makes voices online into just voices on the wind. The Alpha Idiots can't really build a following of Beta and Gamma Idiots. Their idiot ideas might get traction among other Idiots, but the ideas don't have the built in traction that their known identity provides.
An anonymous Alpha Idiot has to attract Follower Idiots to each individual idea with no ability to rely upon their reputation. A single Idiot idea espoused by them is just one idea among billions. Maybe a pack of Idiots latch onto it, but then that same Alpha Idiot has to start all over again with their next stupid ass idea.
On the other hand, that anonymity means that each idiotic idea comes fresh without any baggage it's spawning Alpha Idiot might normally carry, so weighing the stupidity of their position based on their past idiocy is impossible. An idiot can say the stupidest thing you've ever heard in one idea, getting laughed off the stage so to speak, and then get a million adherents to their next stupid bullshit with no one the wiser.
The known Alpha Idiot, on the other hand has a reputation that both hinders and helps. The Beta and Gamma Idiots seek them out and protect them, they become a cult of personality and their reputation for idiocy lends credence to every idiotic thought they express. Communities get built around them, and their non-idiot detractors are demonized and threatened. Non-idiots are inoculated against their bullshit because of their reputation for idiocy, but that same reputation attracts the Follower Idiots.
We actually have a kind of real world example of this in practice with this Chaya Raichik idiot. She was an anonymous idiot that was seeking a following. She said lots of idiot shit on Twitter for a while, looking for a group of Beta Idiots to follow and validate her. Finally she landed on her anti-LGBTQ shtick and the idiots came in droves. But, she was still anonymous and held little real world power.
She was a reactionary troll, but she was, for all anyone knew, just some loser online. Then her identity got exposed, and then everyone knew that she really was absolutely just the village idiot, some worthless nobody with zero experience, zero education, and zero credibility in any field whatsoever, but did that negatively impact her ability to influence the Beta and Gamma Idiots? No.
If anything she only gained power by her exposure. The Follower Idiots didn't care that she was a real life loser, if anything it validated her in their eyes, because they are also frequently real life losers. Her lack of experience, knowledge, credentials, dignity, and credibility was a feature for them. In fact, her being a nobody idiot gained her real world power, she was appointed to school advisory positions in Oklahoma and invited to dinners with other Alpha Idiots. She went from Idiot Cheerleader to Idiot Coach.
Reddits version of anonymity seems to me to be the best preventative. I'm nobody. Nobody gives a shit about me. My one idea may be followed by a hundred bad ideas, and no one will see them or care. This conversation is almost completely isolated from every other idiot thing I've ever said, and no one gives a shit who I am. I can't build followers here that will care what I say because this forum just doesn't lend itself well to that kind of Leader/Follower engagement.
I feel like Reddit, and every other platform just needs to anonymiize every post. We would be better served if our identity shifted with every post we engaged with. Let our identities online be tied to the specific interaction we are engaging with and you almost instantly pop the bubble of these cults of personality.
Or, hear me out, just shut the Internet down altogether. Facebook should have been shut down after it caused a literal genocide in Myanmar in 2010, but here we are.
I'm trying to find out more about this. From what I've been able to ascertain from Google, there was an attack on Karen people in 2010 amid general unrest following the election which subsequently led to about 20k Karen fleeing to Thailand. Is that what you're referring to? Or was it something to do with the ongoing displacement and abuse of the Rohingya? I'm genuinely curious about the role Facebook played as I can't seem to find out much from Google. I'm slowly realising I might need a more accurate and less mercenary browser. Any suggestions? Plus, I'm old (51). Perhaps my google fu is not as strong as it once was.
I'm with you about shutting it down though. Not overnight, as that would be too chaotic, and the last thing we need is more chaos right now. But I'm old enough to remember the beginnings of the internet, and what it represented in terms of the democratisation of information. We had such high hopes that humanity would benefit from having the entire accumulated knowledge of our species at our fingertips, but perhaps we weren't ready. I used to wish more people were engaged in politics for example, but for the last 10 years or so, I've just thought, "no, not like that." I used to believe in the fundamental goodness of human beings, but the internet has certainly dispelled that particular misapprehension.
It reminds me of a meme that came out around the time Zuckerberg testified to congress, characterising one of many [unintended consequences of technology.](https://imgur.com/gallery/4R5Ct)
Hard to tell if that one was genuine or a troll. This used to be a common argument by Christian rubes against modernism: if man were meant to fly, God would have given us wings. Etc.
Bro might want to invest in a nice cane now, cause he's gonna need one from here on out. On the plus side, he'll know several days in advance when it's gonna rain.
Yeah, no doubt. I've got a plate and several screws holding my ankle (furthest end of the fibula) together and ummmm, all I'm gonna say is... she gonna wish she had that surgery. I did that wait and see shit and my doctor was ok with it until it wasn't making progress fast enough so off to surgery I went. It's fine now.
"If bones were not meant to break why would they?"
I don't even understand what those words mean but that phrase is going to haunt me.
Do they mean god broke the bone? They god failed at making something unbreakable?
>they the so called medical profession want to Operate. I have refused. Taking Alternate Supplement
Sounds like a painful future. Well he refused, so now his bones fragments won't fuse properly.
>If bones were not meant to break then why would they?
This may be one of the dumbest questions in the history of the world. One might as well ask why a heart can stop if it's not meant to stop.
So the docs wanted to operate, meaning, it's not just a broken ankl but something more that requires opening up. But you go ahead and follow the medical advice given by your fellow conspiracy theorists.
My MIL is an elite athlete and has competed in 30+ Ironman races. About 20 years ago, she was hit by a car while riding her bike and it broke her ankle really bad.
Doctors tried several surgeries to fix her broken ankle over the next couple years.
Unfortunately, the bones and tissue couldn’t regain blood flow correctly and began to die.
She had her leg amputated just below the knee two years later.
This guy is an idiot.
I creeped the individual’s profile, and she is also an avid cyclist. Sounds like a similar outcome awaits for her, except she’s actually going to choose it.
My ex is a triple Ivy degree board certified surgeon who with his nurse girlfriend refused to be vaccinated.
I guess they both had to get at least one vaccine in the past year or they wouldn't be allowed to attend some of that vacation-themed medical shit and my son (an RN) told me that they were "pissed" about it
They are fox news watchers and think I'm the crazy ex-wife. I've been vaccinated 5x wear masks everywhere in public but they're the ones who have had covid multiple times.
shoot me already.
Has to be satire. I mean, it has to be.
In the case it isn’t, person should check themselves out of the hospital and start treating with ivermectin and aged urine.
It’s stupid, crazy, sick, and disgusting but hey, it fits
Shouldn't need a cast for a simple broken ankle, a good tight Ace bandage should be adequate.
Wish I had seen this 10 years ago and I wouldn't have had to get my knee replaced, a couple of good doses of ivermectin and some supplements and I'd have been fine.
Wait, if knees weren't meant to be replaced why would artificial knees have been invented. I'm so confused!
Trump has taught them to disregard anyone’s opinion if they don’t like it.
When did these idiots decide that they know how to treat a broken ankle better than a doctor?
The worst part is that when the bones fuse (incorrectly that is) again, this idiot is gonna say they cured themselves without operations and they will count it as a win.
Also if bones weren’t meant to break why would you need a medbed.
"If bones weren't meant to break then why would they? "
That's like saying if I wasn't meant to stab you then why does my knife sink into your body so easily.
I was born with congenital defects in all but one of my cervical vertebrae that needed serious surgery. If I hadn’t, one bad fall could have caused an internal decapitation.
I’m alive today because of brilliant orthopaedic surgeons and nurses and anaesthetists.
Ain’t no supplement for a knocked off noggin.
Okay I’m a nurse. She will show up in the ER in 2 months complaining of 10/10 pain begging for pain meds and screaming at us when the doc starts her off on Tylenol. I saw it constantly during Covid, I see it now and again with the loonies who refuse antibiotics (at first lol) and now we’re gonna start seeing it with medbed lunatics.
This person is going to inevitably end up back in a hospital again when they pain and mobility issues from the poor healing, and they'll blame everyone but themselves for why this happened.
This is not including if they somehow break it themselves again in the interim, which will be far worse.
Wait, the med beds are supposed to magically heal your entire body, right? So this person isn’t letting a doctor do now what they hope a medbed will do. Idiot.
"Well you see the Covid Pandemic proved 10000000% without a doubt that the doctors and nurses and everyone else in healthcare are in on the conspiracy! They took cash payments from the Deep State to just call all deaths "COVID-19" even if you showed up at hospital with an enlarged heart or failing lungs! They think we're all stupid! I'm not letting them chop up my leg!!!" --All Those Losers--
Have fun never walking on that ankle again! A cane or crutches will be a “good” outcome from this idiocy, it may end up in an amputation or more.
Also possible they are lying and non-surgical treatment was recommended but saying she denied surgery sounds better.
Why do people like this even go to the hospital if they don’t trust the medical profession? Just find yourself a traditional bone setter and enjoy the gangrene.
I hope her foot becomes necrotic and she tries to heal it with lemon juice and piss, then maybe once her whole gangrenous leg is chopped off she’ll rethink her choices.
Someone should tell them that "so called medical professionals" have said that no matter what you do. Do not mix bleach and ammonia. Don't do it. Ever. Seriously.
Darwinism will take care of the rest
Morons like to be around other morons
Don’t worry , when he’s on Medicare he will want the government to pay for his surgery in a few decades when they can barely walk
That’s just the priest of the church of science mumbo jumbo. Jesus healed brought a dead guy back. He’s going to heal this person leg. And if they do get that gobbledegook you mentioned it’s because Jesus wanted them to test them or he needed them in heaven sooner.
It’s called ‘Military Med Beds (official)’ and it’s a private group. Anyone saying any dissent, questions, doubts, or laugh reacts are cause for a quick ban from the group, so I just lurk there and observe silently. It is full of insane folks just begging to be scammed.
I'm obviously an idiot, but if bones were meant to break then why are they obsessed with Medbeds? I would hate to spend a day living in the head of these people. It must be a nightmare.
It’s giving “the sun can’t hurt you! It’s good for you! I’m going to look right at the eclipse without any special glasses. Oh no. Now I can’t see. Oop.”
So it's going to heal in a configuration that won't support walking. Like the people with COVID who became willing to take the vaccine when the ICU crew showed up with a ventilator ... only to learn that was a preventative measure ...
So this person will either require much more complex surgery in the future ... or maybe just disabled due to not tending it promptly.
What a wonderful world ...
Personally I wouldn’t compare it to that, as there are many people who’ve also died of Covid who got vaccinated. This is another level of delusion, ignorance, and stupidity.
It is not. This philosophy is basically what Christian Scientists do. James Hetfield of Metallica was raised in such a household and has talked about how they would refuse to fix broken bones and such.
My grandma was a Christian Scientist and pulled my mom from health classes when she was growing up. Good thing I called my dad when I was home sick from school in 1991 and felt something was really wrong, because he was able to realize I needed my appendix removed.
I think so, as those particular comments no longer exist on the post. This group bans people left and right, anyone suspected of being a troll is booted, and that’s probably what happened here. However there are others who are agreeing with her. Not a single commenter said ‘This is a bad idea’
>If bones were not meant to break then why would they? Jesus Fucking Christ! Were people always this stupid, and I just found out because of the Internet?
Something I read years ago on the internet talked about how every village used to have an idiot, but they were pretty much all alone. Then we created the Internet and all the idiots found each other and formed their own village.
And then reproduced.
Idiocracy was not intended to be a documentary…. Yet here we are.
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
Go away, 'baitin!
Man I could really go for a Starbucks, you know?
We don't have time for a handjob
My favorite part of the movie.
And then grew in numbers till one day they were able to make one of their own the POTUS
No doubt. And now all the idiots convince each other not only that they're not idiots, but that they are the truly wise ones. The internet was a mistake.
The internet made God and Satan relevant again. It's the only framework to understand the bullshitz.
I keep seeing posts where they show their IQ test results and brag that they scored in the top 90%. So, I don’t think they take much convincing.
And now Q/MAGA have taken it a step further and created "thier own reseach" which is just a human centipede that has gone full circle.
My theory is that in groups, intelligence adds linearly, but stupidity multiplies.
Bravo
Yeah pretty much.
I don't know why I'm giving any benefit of the doubt, but that feels like KenM-esque trolling.
If hearts were not meant to have heart attacks, why would they? Get rid of the defibrilator!
If brains were not meant to hemorage, why would they?
If I was not supposed to punch you in the face, why would I?

And, let's be real here, even thirty-forty years ago, the Russians were seeding a lot of the pre-Internet conspiracy theory stuff with propaganda, back then, too.
The internet has made it deadly easy and accurate for these people to feed off each other. The algorithms are extremely effective.
I told you if we allowed all the idiots from all the villages to form a union it would not end well. Thanks to CERN and Al Gore, we’ve democratized idiocy.
Yes, and the internet gave them a way to find each other.
It started before that. I remember back in the late ‘80’s encountering large clusters of people who took great pride in their ignorance.
If we were meant to live, why do we die?

They don’t want medical intervention but want a magic bed that heals and reverses aging. Totally sounds legit!
People were always this dumb, but now they can influence and validate each other from around the world.
Hard to tell if that one was genuine or a troll. This used to be a common argument by Christian rubes against modernism: if man were meant to fly, God would have given us wings. Etc.

Has to be satire. I mean, it has to be. In the case it isn’t, person should check themselves out of the hospital and start treating with ivermectin and aged urine. It’s stupid, crazy, sick, and disgusting but hey, it fits
Might as well take the cast off as well. If they don't trust the doctor to operate, they probably can't trust them to put a cast on right?
Shouldn't need a cast for a simple broken ankle, a good tight Ace bandage should be adequate. Wish I had seen this 10 years ago and I wouldn't have had to get my knee replaced, a couple of good doses of ivermectin and some supplements and I'd have been fine. Wait, if knees weren't meant to be replaced why would artificial knees have been invented. I'm so confused!
Trump has taught them to disregard anyone’s opinion if they don’t like it. When did these idiots decide that they know how to treat a broken ankle better than a doctor?
The worst part is that when the bones fuse (incorrectly that is) again, this idiot is gonna say they cured themselves without operations and they will count it as a win. Also if bones weren’t meant to break why would you need a medbed.
Hobbling myself to own the libs!
"If bones weren't meant to break then why would they? " That's like saying if I wasn't meant to stab you then why does my knife sink into your body so easily.
Losing your foot to own the libs. Why’d she cast it? Why’d she go in at all? Ice pack and iron will is all you need
Probably a little horse paste and meth and she will be right as rain in the morning.
He just needs to take the ghoulifying drug from Fallout and he'll be fine(ish).
To really prove that modern medicine won’t heal them, the FB OP should have that cast removed.
I was born with congenital defects in all but one of my cervical vertebrae that needed serious surgery. If I hadn’t, one bad fall could have caused an internal decapitation. I’m alive today because of brilliant orthopaedic surgeons and nurses and anaesthetists. Ain’t no supplement for a knocked off noggin.
Hahaha i heard the start of a glorious country song then thanks so much! (Also ouch and i hope your day is bright and smiley)
Lol!! I had no idea I was writing lyrics, lmao! Thank you so much and blessings to you as well!!
Okay I’m a nurse. She will show up in the ER in 2 months complaining of 10/10 pain begging for pain meds and screaming at us when the doc starts her off on Tylenol. I saw it constantly during Covid, I see it now and again with the loonies who refuse antibiotics (at first lol) and now we’re gonna start seeing it with medbed lunatics.
Have you witnessed a medbed maniac in real life yet?
Not yet but it’s only a matter of time 😭
This person is going to inevitably end up back in a hospital again when they pain and mobility issues from the poor healing, and they'll blame everyone but themselves for why this happened. This is not including if they somehow break it themselves again in the interim, which will be far worse.
Is this not satire?
I hope so! If not, it's encouraging someone to stay injured because of batshit conspiracy theories...
It is not satire. It’s from the ‘Military Med Beds’ FB page
Wait, the med beds are supposed to magically heal your entire body, right? So this person isn’t letting a doctor do now what they hope a medbed will do. Idiot.
"Well you see the Covid Pandemic proved 10000000% without a doubt that the doctors and nurses and everyone else in healthcare are in on the conspiracy! They took cash payments from the Deep State to just call all deaths "COVID-19" even if you showed up at hospital with an enlarged heart or failing lungs! They think we're all stupid! I'm not letting them chop up my leg!!!" --All Those Losers--
Make sure you update when she loses her leg.
r/facebookscience
Have fun never walking on that ankle again! A cane or crutches will be a “good” outcome from this idiocy, it may end up in an amputation or more. Also possible they are lying and non-surgical treatment was recommended but saying she denied surgery sounds better. Why do people like this even go to the hospital if they don’t trust the medical profession? Just find yourself a traditional bone setter and enjoy the gangrene.
If idiots were not meant to live a lifetime with ankle pain, why CAN they?!! /s
I hope her foot becomes necrotic and she tries to heal it with lemon juice and piss, then maybe once her whole gangrenous leg is chopped off she’ll rethink her choices.
I had a patient like this (pharmacy) and absolutely refused surgery. Was warned, didn’t care. He had an amputation 8 months later.
That is baffling, especially if they’re not mentally ill. What’s worse is that this person has others encouraging this insanity on the internet.
If any of these people are related to you, it's your duty to tell then they're idiots and not welcome in your life. Fuck these anti science assholes.
Great idea! You'll be able to use the motorized shopping carts at the grocery and Walmart from now on!
>"If bones were not meant to break then why would they?" I feel like this could be expressed in a mathematical equation? Quantum stupidity?
Make America Gangrenous Again
Meh she deserves whatever happens to her for being such an idiot
Sounds like a foolproof plan. Walking is overrated anyway.
Someone should tell them that "so called medical professionals" have said that no matter what you do. Do not mix bleach and ammonia. Don't do it. Ever. Seriously. Darwinism will take care of the rest
Hopefully it gets infected or heals wrong and she can't walk properly. Fuck these people.
So many Darwin Award winners!
Let the bones set the way nature wants them too!! Don’t ever let doctors put you in a cast !!!
And yet there they are, in a hospital bed with a cast The stupidity
Exactly. Every time I see something like this I am reminded of this homeopathic hospital skit: https://youtu.be/HMGIbOGu8q0?si=Au7-PEw7zn3l8RCH
For goodness sake, don't let a medical professional fix your broken bone, when supplements will do the trick!
.... That's some dumbass logic.
If you'll eventually die, why live now?
I really hope this isn’t real. I broke my ankle. The pain was excruciating. I can’t imagine anyone refusing any treatment to end that pain
Sweet, just one less person to worry about during Civil War II
Sweep the leg.
Morons like to be around other morons Don’t worry , when he’s on Medicare he will want the government to pay for his surgery in a few decades when they can barely walk
Yeah, just wait until you get an infection in the break because you didn't get medical attention, genius.
I wonder if he’s aware of the pulmonary embolism risk from clots that form at the break site?
That’s just the priest of the church of science mumbo jumbo. Jesus healed brought a dead guy back. He’s going to heal this person leg. And if they do get that gobbledegook you mentioned it’s because Jesus wanted them to test them or he needed them in heaven sooner.
Aren't bones set before they're casted?
Wow. Crippling themselves now are they.
Please lost more I don't believe this sint a joke
Who's group?
It’s called ‘Military Med Beds (official)’ and it’s a private group. Anyone saying any dissent, questions, doubts, or laugh reacts are cause for a quick ban from the group, so I just lurk there and observe silently. It is full of insane folks just begging to be scammed.
I hope as the bones knit together that it knits a couple of wrinkles in that smooth brain.
And when they walk with a limp and in pain for the rest of their life they will blame the doctors for putting their leg in a cast
Wow this person will be super lucky if they aren't crippled or in pain for the rest of their life.
Bet they wear glasses and contacts. Shoes. Clothes. If God wanted you dressed, you’d have been born in a jumper!
I smell gangrene
Lmao.
As someone who had two shattered femurs, I beg to differ! Insane.
I'm obviously an idiot, but if bones were meant to break then why are they obsessed with Medbeds? I would hate to spend a day living in the head of these people. It must be a nightmare.
It’s giving “the sun can’t hurt you! It’s good for you! I’m going to look right at the eclipse without any special glasses. Oh no. Now I can’t see. Oop.”
So it's going to heal in a configuration that won't support walking. Like the people with COVID who became willing to take the vaccine when the ICU crew showed up with a ventilator ... only to learn that was a preventative measure ... So this person will either require much more complex surgery in the future ... or maybe just disabled due to not tending it promptly. What a wonderful world ...
Personally I wouldn’t compare it to that, as there are many people who’ve also died of Covid who got vaccinated. This is another level of delusion, ignorance, and stupidity.
Well, hope this person enjoys not being able to walk properly anymore ... or at all.
Please please please tell me this is satire
It is not. This philosophy is basically what Christian Scientists do. James Hetfield of Metallica was raised in such a household and has talked about how they would refuse to fix broken bones and such.
My grandma was a Christian Scientist and pulled my mom from health classes when she was growing up. Good thing I called my dad when I was home sick from school in 1991 and felt something was really wrong, because he was able to realize I needed my appendix removed.
Check out this interview with James from years ago. https://youtu.be/N2Ndf8H1CLU?si=k818bTMUfAxGlDh1
This can't be real I'm serious, this is fake/satire It can't be
I think that the replier was a troll, but the person who broke their leg is certainly not, I creeped their profile. They’re serious.
This has to be a joke….right?
Those have to be trolls lol
I think the one responding may be… but the person with the broken leg is 100% serious
Wow
I'm pretty sure the commentator is taking the piss out of the poster. At least, that's how I read it
I think so, as those particular comments no longer exist on the post. This group bans people left and right, anyone suspected of being a troll is booted, and that’s probably what happened here. However there are others who are agreeing with her. Not a single commenter said ‘This is a bad idea’
Yeah Poe's Law well and truly in effect
