Q: How many Facebook members does it take to change a light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light bulb'.
Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.
22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jerks.
5 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is 'lamp.'
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that 'light bulb' is perfectly correct.
49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m
just here for the comments.”)
19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.
11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.
24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs
44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you.
12 to post F.
8 to ask what F means.
7 to post 'Following' but there are 3 dots at the top right which means you don't have to.
15 to say "can't share"
2 to reply "can't share just copy-paste"
36 people to post pics of their own light bulbs.
15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.
6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$"
4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?".
13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs."
3 Admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.
1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.
And then somebody announces they are leaving the group over the light bulb post, and someone replies back that this isn't an airport, so no need to announce your departure.

Sounds like it went viral. The Polish lightbulb changers should be so lucky.
And that right there is why I am not on social media anymore. Unless you count the blog.
It's funny to watch how some of these silly flame wars develop. I've been known to toss a random grenade into some of them just to spin up the crazies.
Hahahahahaha, that's a good one!
I'm kind of bummed out that none of my posts has ever gotten this much attention :-)
Kirk - I had to look up Polish light bulb changers. I found this on Wikipedia...
"Early versions of the joke, popular in the late 1960s and the 1970s, were used to insult the intelligence of people, especially Poles ("Polish jokes"). For instance:
Q. How many Polacks does it take to change a light bulb?
A. Three—one to hold the light bulb and two to turn the ladder."
Ami - I'm not sure if people count blogs as social media anymore or not. I would say not.
Bill - I would neeeeeeever do anything like that. 😆
Deb - F
#44 is my claim. I won't even go into the dressing room in Kohl's. Migraines really really hate them.

That is why I do not Facebook any longer.
Lady - I'm real close to dropping it also.

River - But all true!
