"wtf are you on about? Oranges have been banned for 10 years."

"I'm eating one right now."

"You're a liar, prove it."

"I'm not going to take a picture of myself for you. What kind of idiot thinks oranges are banned?"

"Oh yeah, prove they're not."

"Prove oranges aren't banned by the government? How the fuck?"

"See, I rest my case"

"You fucking idiot...[3 hours of research and case law into it being legal to eat an orange] here you happy?"

"Oh well they banned them in my country (of 6 people)."

At least they didn't ban apples.

Not that I want to compare apples with oranges but...

Well done, good joke

I'm sick of this nonsense, it's a cancer on discourse.

Me: "I don't like social media..."

Random Person: "So basically what you're saying is you hate technology? You also failed to mention emails, blogs, and podcasts. I'm literally shaking."

Never tell a true idiot to "educate himself" they will return and explain in great detail why the earth is actually flat!

Only the purest of idiots tell others to "educate themselves" in a discussion.

I don't have the time to explain to you how wrong you are. But I do have time to call random internet people idiots over it. /s

And another random person calls you with an omophobic slur for liking mangoes.
That's the duality of the internet.

Ahhh. Good old fashioned sea lioning at its best

It reminds me of that famous interview of Jordan Peterson

So what you're saying is... you like the next Hitler mentor and want to see Jews and Black people burn?

The insanity of believing someone cares which fruit you prefer is just accepted as the “normal” part of the meme here, and that’s pretty interesting to me as someone who didn’t have the internet in their home until high school.

Then someone always proves them right! Now they have “haters”! It’s amazing. This internet thing could have been cool.
