      It’s the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.

        Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world’s current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.

      Ah yes, there’s always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.

      Your social circle is not the world.

    I mean my mom has been fooled by this sort of thing on email chains for over a decade.

    A lot of people just want to believe this kind of stuff.
