I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:
-Every month is National Potato Month. -George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back. -Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer. -The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City. -Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.
I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.
Oh for cryin' out loud, someone obviously devoid of any sense of humor whatsoever. Since I tend to equate a good sense of humor with intelligence, I suspect your detractor just isn't very bright. Hit the ignore button!
I do and accept your apologies. From now on I will judge humor as non existing and any attempt to bring fun and nonsense into the world as a major crime. In deep remembrance to Umberto Eco and his book "The Name of the Rose".
I propose a rating scale from one to four Karens, to be awarded on the basis of how over-reactive, over-wrought and overly earnest a reply is. This is probably a two Karen reply, due to the absence of tear stains and death threats.
> -The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
I think you're getting that confused with that Avengers movie. You know, *The Lord of the Avengers?* Yeah, I know, not to be confused with *Avengers: Age of the Orc*, their titles are so confusing
I do not know what their point is. You announce low quality facts, and all we get are low quality facts.
(Fake news and misinformation would be different, because no facts. So, maybe you've gone too far with the Cher-thing, but as far as flamingos are concerned I would probably also believe some facts of very very very low quality.)
There is a vast distance between propaganda and light hearted sarcastic nonsense like Low Quality Facts. An account easily blocked if you don't want to see it. This whining idiot needs to get a life.
They have to be purposefully ignoring the comedy and feigning outrage, because no one could be so incredibly dumb. It's a trick the conservatives they claim to hate used a lot in the 80s and 90s. Self-righteous shitheads will be the end of us all. I hope they hurry it up, too. I think humanity has earned its stupid and avoidable doom.
Your "facts" often provide an opportunity to add context or commentary. Sometimes a lie runs around the world and nudges the truth to get its boots on.
I disagree strongly with the OP's assertion. A problem with all social media is that it presents lies and facts side by side, removing all cues that would help people tell which is which.
By presenting low quality "facts" in a low quality font, LQF satirizes this problem and reminds us not to believe all we see.
This thing about modern fascism being caused by misinformation is probably the lowest quality fact you've shared on here. If you had posted it in handwriting I would have just assumed it was part of the bit.
magnanimous of you to redact their deets rather than subjecting them to a collective dunk-on so hard that the cumulative weight and pressure of all the dunks would form a supermassive black hole, obliterating them forever, however richly they may deserve such. @lowqualityfacts
I'm an #autistic man that has never been formally #diagnosed as autistic. I discovered that I was probably on the spectrum a few months ago. I believe that it is my #cancer that altered my #brain in such a way that I am less able to #mask now.
actually you are saving democracy by giving people the opportunity to practice the important skill of scrutinizing things read online. This account kills fascists.
I vociferously disagree with the poster. Low quality facts are assembled in U.S. of A's own Alabama, in more than minimally lighted production facilities, by interns on learn-lease from local institutions of higher primary education. Low quality facts are much beloved by those of us who are low quality consumers.
one note: These are NOT sweat shops in the winter.
Thank you for your sincere apology 🙏😌🙏 Now that fascism is no longer enabled and democracy is no longer being destroyed, I propose that everyone take a small 10-20 year break from engaging with politics, confident that everything will be fine in the meantime ❤️❤️❤️
well personally I have had an overwhelming urge to put on my swastika armband and jackboots and goosestep up and down the towpath singing the Horst Wessel Song since I spotted your facts. (that's also a low quality fact BTW)
The absolute self absorbed ego to flat out say "it's not funny" when humor is totally subjective will always astound me. One simple change "I don't think it's funny" can make all the difference between sounding like a head up ass douchebag and someone making a personal observation based on their experiences that you may not agree with, but that you can at least respect.
Someone got under my craw this morning. That person was not even attacking me but was attacking a fellow autistic person for saying (I'm paraphrasing) that we're not bad people merely because we are autistic, and we should love ourselves.
Good question! Probably more ones like this on here, more "you're not funny, go back to Twitter" comments on Bluesky.
And then on Threads there's a lot of older very political people, so if I post anything less than "Trump is pure evil and I unconditionally support Joe Biden" I'm bound to get a few "Oh you must be a MAGA, I'm telling others to block you" comments.
The main issue I'd take with your facts is that they are actually labelled as "low quality". This means that your facts are just about the only facts carrying a correct label, which means they are not the absolutely lowest quality humanly achievable. There is room to go even lower in quality. There. That gave you some food for thought!
I think this account is a great constant reminder that a lot of stuff on the internet isn't true and we will never be able to guarantee that, so keep your guard up.
One of the things I most admire about our community of ideological liberals is how effortlessly we are able to criticize each other. We never let the need to denounce, much less fight, our fascist opponents stop us from reminding each other of our countless imperfections instead of doing anything helpful to our own agenda.
I mean, stopping the alt-right would be hard. By picking on each other, at least we have some way to feel useful that's easy too.
😂😂😂 Wait!! Do I feel the social fabric of our society tearing??! AND is it YOUR fault???? You and your damnable lowqualityfacts!!! Right in the shitter we go…hold on, Chernobyl, I didn’t know that, but it makes sense 🤷🏻♂️
, I don't forgive you. How could you do that to us! How could you make us part of your covert attack on democracy and sleep at night? I thought I was coming to your page for a laugh, but I didn't know you were just trying to get me to read the nonsensical ramblings of Mein Kampf. 😭
