The best way to get genuine, lengthy interactions on the internet's social media, is not to post something accurate and agreeable, but something erroneous.

Get the Cunningham's Troll(ing) mug.
Something (joke, story, movie-scene) an individual does not find funny until they meet someone who is offended by it.
Then they find it hilarious (either from the nervousness, ridiculousness, obscenity, or the person is in-fact a troll)

Get the Troll humor mug.In the same way that an Internet Troll takes pleasure in causing drama and chaos, the Internet Half-Troll takes pleasure in countering everything that the troll posts in a way that brings about laughter and harmony by making the troll look foolish This often cuts off the troll's lulz that it requires for sustenance and forces the troll out through attrition, thus causing the troll to seek its lulz in a place that isn't under the surveillance of half-trolls.
Traits:
Internet Half-Trolls are more intelligent than Internet Trolls and regenerate faster due to their more omnivorous diet of both the internet rage of troll as well as the lulz of the random Internet bystander. Should an Internet Half-Troll consume both internet rage AND lulz in rapid succession the two energies can catalyze, causing the Internet Half-Troll to be temporarily phased into an ethereal state known as The Zone. While In The Zone an Internet Half-Troll becomes invulnerable, his attack-rate doubles, and his initiative and reflexes increase to Mythic proportions. Any attacks received by an Internet Half-Troll are instantly countered and damage increases one factor for every strike.
According to obscure Urban Legend, should an internet half-troll be exposed to The Zone long enough his being will converge with the presence of all half-trolls past, present, and future becoming The Legendary Super Half-Troll, a state far exceeding that of any troll, including Trolldin himself.
