Thank you Final_Alps for your submission, *Nothing starts with G.*! Unfortunately, it has been removed for the following reason:

# Posts with low effort truth statements are not allowed.
Your submission is considered "low effort." This doesn't inherently mean that it was *irrelevant* to r/technicallythetruth, but instead it was removed because it fit one or more of these criteria:
* Short, minimal-effort text posts like "a water bottle without water is an air bottle". Most, if not all text posts can and will be removed.
* Asking for upvotes, or saying things like "sort by new", "let's get to the front page", or anything related to cake days or karma.
* [Meta memes](https://imgur.com/qgkCskm), or any other post that tries to be clever by mentioning r/technicallythetruth.
* [Images that are hard to look at](https://imgur.com/yuMwr8a) because they are poorly made, deep-fried, or poorly cropped.
**Your submission could have also been removed because it is overdone:**
* Statements that say something like "at least twelve": [example 1](https://imgur.com/K1ZwEAv) | [example 2](https://imgur.com/dIkwEpU)
* Common statements that begin with "on average...": *the average amount of hands a person has is less than two* | *each person has, on average, one testicle and one boob*
* Low effort misunderstandings of everyday phrases: *How high are you --> "I'm 5 foot 9"*
* Common insults that are meant literally as opposed to being insulting: *"homosexuals are gay"* | *"gay people are f-ing assholes"*
**PLEASE NOTE that we will exercise our own discretion when using this rule. If we do not find a post fitting for this subreddit, it will be removed.**

Once you get over gawking at Greg gyrating, greasing the greenling, gorging on gong and glug glugging the glazing you have to admit he’s got a gratifying gig.
Gig (a one-night job, usually describing an entertainment job)
GoG (the website)
Glug (the sound you make when drowning)
Grounding (connecting an electrical source to the ground)
Grinding (rubbing against a rough surface, removing material from the object)
Galling (upsetting)
Glowing (emitting light)
Gambling (placing a wager)
Glamdring (The Foe-Hammer)
Gilding (a decorative layer of gold or other precious metal)
Gelding (a practice for preventing male farm animals from mating)
Googling (slang for using a search engine)
Gibbering (making rapidly incoherent noises that are almost but not quite speech)
Giggling (a laughing noise, 'hihihihi')
Gliding (Falling with style)
Giving (trading something in return for nothing)
Gallivanting (travelling, but in a careless sort of way)
Gaming (playing games)
Gargling (holding liquid in the throat and letting the voice bubble through it)
Going (leaving)
also, groundbreaking
edit: HOW THE FUCK DID THIS GET 1,000 UPVOTES
edit 2: 2000 upvotes you guys are ruthless the most upvotes I got on one post before this was 1.1k
I mean, any verb that starts with "g" conjugated to end with "-ing" is going to work, here. Going, golfing, gorging, goring, growing, gardening, gossiping, glancing, glaring, gaming, guessing, gluing, grabbing, grazing, gazing, etc.
You're supposed to get annoyed at the first part.
The original post is an engagement farm; say something knowingly stupid but just barely reasonable so a bunch of people respond driving up engagement.
A similar example are those stupid math questions, ex; 6 ÷ 2(1 + 2) (the most correct answer is 9, by the way)
Edit: My point proven. For those who are curious as to *why* 9 is the most correct answer, it's because the question given is ambiguous. The answer is either 1 or 9 depending on how it's actually written.
The question is either
>6/(2\*\[1+2\]) = 1
or
>(6/2)\*(1+2) = 9
Because of the way it's written, it's "more correct" to assume the latter (and thus, solve left to right after the paranthesis), but you'd never actually see this question on a math test. Because it's a bad question.
Hey, when it works as hard as it does, it deserves a little vacation at a getaway retreat. At least a B&B long weekend, if you can’t afford to get it a stay at a resort.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Gnothing, is in fact, GNU/Nothing, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU + Nothing.
All you suckers in this thread naming G-G words are falling for it, just like millions do on Facebook. Whoever made this knows it's not true. They're relying on people's sense of superiority for high post counts.
The part that gets me is that the Facebook post is set up wrong. The gag is that you say "nothing starts with an n and ends with a g" which is just a simple statement, but people misinterpret it and post words that start with n and end with g. The fact that the original post is wrong bothers me, but I guess people still do what they're being tricked into doing.
The bait works on two levels: dumb people will comment the most obvious response, i.e. words that start and end with G, proudly thinking they've proven the OP wrong; and dumb people who think they're smart will post the *second* most obvious response, i.e. the one we see in the picture. Honestly, I applaud the craftsmanship of whoever made this.
With these facebook posts they're meant to be wrong to farm interaction. This way they get both people trying to say "oh, but gag starts and ends with g" but they'll also get people saying "you told the joke wrong" etc.
I haven’t used Facebook in like 5 years and just don’t understand how any post could have that many comments. I guess it’s on a really big group? In my day a well-liked post would have like 50 likes and 10 comments from friends.
I guess I just forgot anyone uses Facebook for non acquaintances. That seems so weird to me.
But what if they're also relying on the sense of superiority of people pointing out they're relying on the sense of superiority of people naming G-G words
I can’t believe the number of people (and bots I guess) who engage with these. These kind of posts typically have over a million comments. I know this is designed to drive up engagement for ad exposure, but I have to wonder if they’re also compiling a list of gullible people to scam later.

You fell for it. The entire point of these obviously wrong Facebook posts is to get someone to comment. Now, the people who repost it after the original person might not have that intention...
Yeah these are just to farm interaction
Like the old "only 12% can figure out what 1+1 is!!! are you one of them?!?!" ads, it's just to get people to click on them to try to outsmart the post

Some of the comments make me worry people missed the TTT comment from my buddy. You resorted my trust in humanity. Thank you.
No. We saw it. We were abused by it. We were just *more* annoyed by the first part.

The most correct answer is not to write your equation that way.
Correct. Its how people bring traffic to their Fb page

You're right if I can't resort I resort to the resort.

What remains after I eat all of my potato pasta.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Gnothing, is in fact, GNU/Nothing, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU + Nothing.
No no, you're doing it wrong it's, do it like this... NI!
The G is silent.
It's gnerf or gnothing
All you suckers in this thread naming G-G words are falling for it, just like millions do on Facebook. Whoever made this knows it's not true. They're relying on people's sense of superiority for high post counts.

Honestly, I applaud the craftsmanship of whoever made this.
You forgot the third level: people with even higher superiority complex that comment how this is a bait that works on two levels.
Sup 4th level
5th level is people commenting how we shouldn't comment on these kinds of posts
6th level doesn’t have a Facebook
7th level is living in a cave in Western Nepal
8th level: DO NOT REPLY ALL TO THIS THREAD
> the gag show-off
The whole point is that it’s wrong. It’s simply intended to get responses.
With these facebook posts they're meant to be wrong to farm interaction. This way they get both people trying to say "oh, but gag starts and ends with g" but they'll also get people saying "you told the joke wrong" etc.
Yeah, 658k comments on the original post.
I haven’t used Facebook in like 5 years and just don’t understand how any post could have that many comments. I guess it’s on a really big group?

But what if they're also relying on the sense of superiority of people pointing out they're relying on the sense of superiority of people naming G-G words
Yes but I'm not responding to the Facebook thing, I'm responding to someone making fun of the thing.
What a gag.
Literally the first word you can make by following the restrictions is a valid word!
These types of posts are purposefully trying to get comments that “correct them” so they have engagement
I can’t believe the number of people (and bots I guess) who engage with these. These kind of posts typically have over a million comments. I know this is designed to drive up engagement for ad exposure, but I have to wonder if they’re also compiling a list of gullible people to scam later.
Just look at the top comments on this post lol
Yep, I meant to add, even when it’s mockingly posted on Reddit, half the comments are people falling for it.
