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

      “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?

      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.

          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?

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

      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.
