I KNOW, RIGHT? Grin

But ‘‘tis true …

You actually don't know that.

If you have bought just about anything on line it might actually come from Amazon.

One of my relatives deliberately ordered from an independent, but what turned up was an amazon package.

🤔I’d be willing to bet that nobody on MN has been bitten by a bear

You’d lose that bet, unfortunately.

Ok if we are being pedantic.. I've been on anonymous forums and WhatsApp groups but have never seen the mainstream social media apps that include photos, videos and involve creating profiles. I've never seen
Facebook
Instagram
Tik tok
Etc

Not even through kids or relatives or even work?! Don’t most work places have some kind of social media profile? I find it so hard to imagine never once having “seen” any of them? Aren’t you curious? You might love them for all you know.

BusWankers · 14/07/2025 08:51

Well, indeed..

You can be interested in history and visit a monastery.
You can be interested in seeing the ruins of an old church.
You could see some local art/crafts/exhibition etc in these places.

You can go on interesting history tours

Seems an odd flex to say that you've never entered a single religious building 🤷‍♀️

Maybe they’re a vampire?

MuckFusk · 15/07/2025 04:19

I have never been drunk. Not even tipsy.

Genuinely no. Work has a FB page and Instagram account but its not active really, just the same info as the website. Most of my friends aren't on them either, some go in to view their families maybe but none of them post anything. So it's not really used for communication in my friend group. My eldest kid just uses Snapchat to communicatre but doesnt post photos and youngest are too young for phones yet, so I might feel pulled onto SM soon to stay in touch as they get older.

So you know they have the accounts and have never once looked at them?

You've never once tried to find information about a company and been sent to the FB page for stuff? For example, a lot of local cafes only have FB pages for things like menus etc.

Do you make a conscious effort to never click through to FB/IG etc?

No one has ever sent you an Instagram pic or whatever?

I don't have these apps/accounts, but have definitely seen them and visited etc.

Dontlletmedownbruce · 15/07/2025 13:14

No, sometimes I do get directed to a FB page but can't see it or click in as I don't have an account. I don't think anyone has ever sent me an Instagram picture, if they did I probably couldn't see it anyway. I have a colleague who constantly sends 'funny videos' from tik tok or whatever through a WhatsApp link but I can't see them and from what I've heard it's just as well! Everyone knows I'm not on SM so I suppose they don't try to send me stuff.

Is it really that hard to believe someone isn't using these apps? It's the 3rd time I've been challenged on what I've said 😆

l have never taken illegal drugs.

Me neither, aside from cannabis. I feel like I may need to try some psychedelics before I die.

My mum probably wouldn’t have any idea of social media but I find it hard to imagine how anyone under 50 can avoid even “seeing” it?

Well, yes. It seems so unlikely. There's Instagram and Facebook feeds etc all over some websites and it's part of the site and you will be looking at it without even realising

And not having an account isn't stopping you seeing them 🤷‍♀️
