I respect the right of others not to vaccinate their kids or themselves but I do wish the people who bleat about how nobody should vaccinate and it's all part of 666/NWO/IlluminatiwWoo stuff (usually just a cover for plain old racism and antisemitism) could be uninvented. Especially those who tell you they will pray for your soul. Keep your white Trump loving Jeebuz far from my Facebook page!!

The whole Internet. Horrible addictive. We have become dumber and more miserable as a result of it.

The Illuminati stuff is fascinating. The guys who originally started the story have stated that it is all invented. So of course the response is "well they would say that wouldn't they??' .. and one of those guys, is now a conspiracy theorist himself

You sound absolutely nuts.

I was asked sometime shortly after the turn of the Millennium if I thought QR codes would catch on. I said no. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Energy production via the burning of fossil fuels. Amazon. SUVs. Brutalist architecture. Naked Attraction (the TV show). Vapes. Salad cream.

FloorWipes · 08/08/2023 00:12

smartphones and social media

nuclear weapons also not great

I’m on the fence about capitalism

You are so wrong about brutalist architecture but I’m with you on the rest

Yfory · 08/08/2023 00:16

Smart phones, artificial intelligence, vapes, cigarettes, drugs (of the non medicinal variety)

TodaysNameIsZig · 08/08/2023 00:16

Another vote for men.

Then weapons, religion, politics, drugs (bad ones) and alcohol,

Selfies. Mirrors are so much easier on the self esteem.

So true!

If you don't want a vaccine fine but no need to claim it's part of some conspiracy and we all have to get microchipped because of some mystical cabal. I would find it easier to believe Prince Andrew doesnt sweat or that children are being trafficked for adrenochrome than believe that Bill Gates is trying to depopulate the world .

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 08/08/2023 00:31

In order of importance:

Nuclear weapons

Drugs

Single use plastic items and fake grass

You've put 3 responses on this thread, each one more ridiculous than the last
