A community dedicated to the lowest quality facts.
While the community is named after the mastodon account Low Quality Facts it is not required to post related to that account. As long as the post is low enough quality, it belongs in this community.
A low quality fact could be a few things:
- Something blatantly untrue but stated as a fact
- Something true but stated in a way that makes it sound made up
- Something so blatantly obvious it doesnt need to be said at all.
Examples:
"Louis Armstrong stored jelly beans in his trumpet, which he would discreetly eat during his performances."
"If you took a persons digestive system and stretched it out end to end, it would hurt a lot."
"Whales are notoriously bad trumpet players."
Posts can be in whatever form best displays the low quality fact.
RULES
1: Be civil. No racism or any of that non-sense
2: Only low quality facts!

My old pastor(s) told this story as 100% fact to the entire congregation.
By the time of his trial, I was questioning everything he said.
By the time of his trial? Was there more to this story?
Yeah. He "accidentally" sexually assaulted a 19-year old under the guise of "cleansing"/"annointing with oil". She did not know that his """"technique"""" was not at all normal or sanctioned.
The outcome of the case unfortunately ended with "well, she technically consented, and clergy does not fall under the umbrella of professions who may be prosecuted for taking advantage of vulnerable people."
We are now trying to change these laws for my state.
Abusers and grifters will twist any narrative to fit their personal wants and needs. Fiction will turn to fact. They will spread untruths to send a message, to tell a story.
Think critically. Always.
Clergy doesn't fucking what?? That's the whole point of clergy
That's why they have to be exempted... They wouldn't be able to do their job otherwise.
