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:
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!
Seriously, something similar was an actual rumor back in the day: He was former special forces, with plenty of tattoos representing his missions and the people he'd killed.
Well, he also liked swimming, and many could attest that he didn't have any tattoos. His only "vice" was that when he was alone, he sometimes enjoyed swimming naked.
Source: I honestly don't remember. Feel free to fact check me.

I have heard all your rumors before except this one.
I don't entirely believe it, but I appreciate it just the same. Mr. Rogers rumors are fun and outlandish
I don't believe the rumor that he's naked underneath his clothes. It's pullovers all the way down
I don't want to picture it, but I could see him enjoying it.
There's something about swimming naked. It scratches an itch you didn't know you had. It's absolutely freeing.
And then, sometimes, you get to have sex afterwards, which is cool for a lot of people.
Mr. Rogers would literally take off his jacket and change into the sweater at the beginning of every show.
No tattoo sleeves visible.
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.
I think the rumor got started because people conflated Fred and Bob Ross who was an actual Air Force DS and started painting when he got tired of screaming at people. The version I heard as a youth was the super badass SF guy with hidden tats under the shirt but you could see he had no sleeves on the show
That's absolutely horrific. I'm glad you're away from that congregation now, or at least that pastor.
