Actually I looked up the real story of Johnny Appleseed and he was more about making hard cider and selling land. 🙃

    And you really think that at 62 I’m gonna go track down a historical factoid to satisfy the gatekeeping of a LEMMY sub?

    HAHAHAHAHA

    Shit, man, pull the other one.

    And yes, capitalism IS bad and people back then were just as horrible as people today. You’ll get it if you survive to my age.

      Well hey, as a wise person once said:

      Too damn many stupid people in this world.

        Good citation. That guy is a genius.

        He’s also taking enough gabbapentin to stun a horse so his memory isn’t super great.

        Good cook though.

          If it smells like shit in one place, it’s probably shit. If it smells like shit everywhere, it’s time to check your shoe.

            You get shit on a lot, don’t you?

            At some point you have to wonder if you do because you like it.

      Citation [21]“Johnny Appleseed, Orchardist,” prepared by the staff of the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen Couth, November 1952, page 26

      Here, I took the trouble for you. He was not, by any accounts, a good business man.

      Please avoid spreading disinformation. This isn’t facebook.

        Hey, that wasn’t me, that was another guy. I was just relaying his statement. You can check his citation if you want.

        Please avoid spreading disinformation.

        It’s a meaningless factoid, bro. Relax.

        He was not, by any accounts, a good business man.

        HAHAHAHAHAHA

        Damn, that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

          What’s the goal here? Agitate people on line for fun?

          You’re not arguing in good faith. You tell people that you are in your sixties and disabled, as if that’s excuse for your behavior. You add no context or sources. What’re you looking to get out of engaging in a public forum? What does lemmy.world get you that Facebook does not?

            At this point, yes.

            It is astounding to me that with all the shit wrong with this planet, you guys have the energy to get this worked up about a factoid.

            What does lemmy.world get you that Facebook does not?

            Waaay more reactive children who get completely bent out of shape about shit like this.

      “I’m too old to care if what I say is true” what age do I get to just start saying stuff and act like other people are the problem when they call me out on pulling shit out of my ass and presenting it as fact?

        Well, back in my 20s a coworker forgave me for leaning Democrat because “if you’re a Republican in your 20s you have no heart. If you’re a Democrat in your 30s you have no brain.”

        So, I’d say never. Reality matters at all ages. Well, until you have deep dementia. At that point, enjoy the invisible angels that help you use the restroom. You need all the help you can get. (Source: my mom on the occasions of caring for my grandmother)
