Ruined by Technology Got into a dumb 10 minute argument about whether the ACL and Achilles are the same thing or not. My idiot friend forgot to crop his screenshot before sending it to me...🤦

I see it so much, where a bunch of people are riled up by extremely obvious bait.

I've seen hundreds of comments long threads about that screenshot of a post from The Flat Earth Society, a satire Facebook page, that says "The Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe." Pretty much all of the commenters are always making fun of the supposed idiot flat earthers like it's a serious post.

Sometimes, you just gotta laugh along with the troll.

Really? That's way older than I'd expected. Thought it'd be in the early age of internet at the oldest.

Someone replied in complete seriousness to me that Abraham Lincoln couldn’t have said that about the internet, because he never used it:

This was in response to what I claimed was his famous quote “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.” LOL
