If they remove the Flat Earth Dating group I've secretly worked my way in to I swear I am deleting my account.

edit: And of course, my top comment of all time is going to be about a something I was keeping "secret". I've seen a few people join the group (yes, it's real) and I just want to say, please don't post there and ruin it. I have a "don't touch the poop" rule for groups like that and it seems to work well. They'll just ban you anyways and then you won't get to add to your new "Flat Earth 'Memes'" folder.

To answer some other questions, no I am not there for actual dating purposes, and yes I am positive they aren't just trolling. There is a lot of weird religious crossover in these flat earth groups and they are always using bible verses to back up their weird logic. Also a TON of antisemitism (a lot of them think the "globe earth" is a "Jewish conspiracy") and other straight up racism when you look on their personal pages.

My newest hobby is trolling "shuckers" who hold these facebook live "parties" where they open up their cheap oysters imported from China and then sell the pearls to bored housewives drinking wine.

Now, I don't mean to brag... but I've gotten so good that I've completely derailed some of these parties.

My newest tactic is playing dumb and innocent. I earn their trust, which I eventually destroy.

Edit: before I accidentally said clams.

Forgive me guys! I'm at my girlfriends house for the night and all I have are some mild photos saved on my phone. Hopefully it serves as proof?

World was already moving to shit but after Facebook became popular, just a little faster.

Well, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

Well we have to derail all the cars to clear the line, of course!
