The Proud Boys have an initiation ritual where new members are beaten by the group until they can recite the names of five different breakfast cereals.

    Can I “join” and not name any cereals just to beat the fuck out of a bunch of proud boys?

    See I have to believe at least some of this shit was because the leader of that group was a federal informant. This is the kind of thing the FBI agents in Ms Congeniality would think is funny.

    Obviously this frat-boy shit is dumb, but if you had to figure out if someone was a real American or a spy, this would be an excellent way to do it.

    Like if someone said “I eat musli” or “I like grape nuts” you could go ahead and shoot the spy.

        Yeah and everyone who ever ate it was like “oh god, no” and immediately came out with a better cereal.

        Like corn flakes. Itty bitty tortilla chips make a better cereal than fucking grape nuts.
