lol I was about to make a Mennonite joke.

I wasn't born nor did I grow up anywhere near the plain communities, but I moved near them as a grown up. all I knew was the plot to Witness, starring Harrison Ford.

I was at a farmers market and this dude in the fully plain gear with the beard and straw hat comes up and we start talking about farming stuff and suddenly he pulls out his cell phone and that's how I learned about Mennonites.

So I'm too lazy to fully read up on it, and what little I could find wasn't completely clear, but are Mennonites essentially LARPers? Like do they just dress plain like it's the 17th century while enjoying all the modern conveniences?

More like less extreme amish, I'd say

Was working in a grocery store years ago, hippy dippy place, totally focused on fronting/facing shelves.

I hear somebody speaking rapid fire in non-english... German or Dutch or something. Nobody is replying and I figure its somebody on a cell phone.

I look over and see a dude in what I'm guessing is regular Mennonite gettup, slacks, boots, suspenders, button up shit and straw hat holding an iPhone to their ear and my brain was just like, "huh... haven't seen that before."

Lol yeah I sometimes visit an irrigation supplier run by Mennonites. They just haul ass around the warehouse on segways/hoverboards with boxes of 1000 tiny plumbing parts in their hands.
