Do you ever take part in those Facbook games that say, "Post the last 4 (or 3) digits of your phone number, then do X,Y,Z and see what happens!"?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46807points) May 9th, 2017

I don’t. For some reason it makes me really uncomfortable.

Do you?

Never. Clickbait.

No. I stopped being twelve ten years ago.

Never. I figure they are clickbait that collects info that can be used to narrow down password guesses.
We have no idea who gets or keeps the data. But you can be sure it does not go away.

No. Stupid childish crap I don’t have time for.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@LuckyGuy Those are my vague concerns too…but how would that allow them to guess passwords?

Seek's avatar

Sure. They’re not related to my passwords and I’ll probably have a different phone number in 6 months anyway

Seek's avatar

Don’t get me going on Facebook. I tried to answer a question on a damn political blog back during the election and I couldn’t post without a stinkin’ Facebook account. So I opened an account which I have no interest in, thinking I could delete it later. Evidently my account some how got linked up with my sons account, and I can’t get rid of it without messing his Facebook up. I never even go in to the damn annoying thing unless my son forgets to close his out (he shares my computer), and I get 20,000 friend requests from young girls thinking I’m him. I have to tell them this is Pap (that’s what he and his friends all call me), so take a hike. LOL A damned annoying pain in the azz, and makes me feel like an old perv, which I ain’t. A pox on Facebook.

I also never, ever do the “share this photo if you like ____________” (Vietnam Vets or any other group). I never do “comment and share” or “say amen” or “Copy and paste if you hate cancer” or any of that other garbage.

You maka me laugh, you guys!

“Copy and paste to your time line. Do NOT just share or you will DIE!”

Oh, and those generic, “You’ve never known what it is like to have cancer….” Fuck all the people I’ve known personally that got me going the first few times, my ex being one of them. I messaged him going, “Are you OK??? Who has cancer??”
Um. No one. I hope I embarrassed the hell out of him. That was the first time. Now, if someone is stupid enough to post that I send them a OMG! FREAK OUT! ARE YOU OK? message just so they’ll feel stupid. I hope.
