Almost literally a conversation I had. Started out political, then went on the mermaids and how the earth is really made up of giant bones or something.
Literal brain rot

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Generally, extreme conspiracy engagement is associated with a loss of agency in a person’s life. I imagine they had a terribly tough time at some point in the past.
I feel like a few years ago, "you are just insane" would work. In this post-factual period though, there is too many "just insane" people. I remember when disinformation was mostly harmless on the greater scale. It's not the case now.
That devil is T H I C C 🥵 (No one was saying it, so I had to.)
That must be why I didn't get covid. I like tonic water. Must be that one drink doctors don't want you to know about
Even in hyper-conservative NW Florida I can't remember the last time I saw a red hat. Not only MAGA hats, but any red hat. Had to chunk a perfectly nice Under Armor because it was that shade of red.
The county where I live voted Trump 3 to 1 in the last election. MAGA hats and flags are rare. I think they assume everyone here is on the same idiot page and don't need to signal group identity.
I have a red Spider-Man hat that says "Thwip!" on the front in blue, but I don't wear it because I don't want to get judged (or hit) from behind.
Back in 2017 there was a guy in my town who would constantly wear a maga hat and sing praises about trump. We're not in America, we're in Iceland. He was not American and had no ties there. I no longer work at a place where I have to interact with him.
Still counts as 1 vote
Or 3 California votes, if you live in fly-over country.
