When I was still on Facebook, nearly every week we'd get "What's that noise?! OMG it sounds like something exploded!" posts on Tuesdays in the town group.

The quarry that sits right in the middle of town, which has been there for about 100 years, does its blasting on Tuesdays. Every single week.

Ah, yes. The “what was that noise?” posts. Classic.

Closely followed by the "Did anyone else see the guy in the blue car taking photos of houses? He's obviously casing the neighborhood to steal all our things! Where can I buy a gun?" posts.

The sane, rational, "It was a real estate agent getting comps" responses always get drowned out.

Yes! Constantly. One of my other favorites was a concern about a man in a car (make and model provided) who’d driven a *little* too slowly past a school bus stop that morning. Obviously a predator and not just..driving slowly passing a bus stop.

A close cousin to the "I was at the Target in Penfield and someone tried to traffic me!" ones. i.e. A random religious group was handing out flyers in the parking lot.

Genuinely believe they get excited by the fear. Like those nutty preppers.

I’m sure you’re right. They can’t just enjoy living in a boring town…they need the thrill of being afraid of someone.

Nothing will beat Next Door. That’s where the -isms and conspiracy theories are on FULL display.

Yeah, I avoid that hellscape.

My favorite was the discussion in my neighborhood about turning your house into a Faraday cage using the gutters and siding to prevent the 5G COVID signals.

I saved screenshots somewhere. It was glorious.

Oooh yeah that’s good. Ours is more petty grievances. A group of teens cuts through a backyard and it’s a million comments about how that kind of thing never happened in the past and that’s why we all need lots of guns.
