re: The Amish are a curious subculture

Worked with several amish while in High School when I had a job working on a farm. Very laid back people but strict with the upbringing of their children and each group will have their own ordinum that is decided by the elders. The group that was closest to me was a bit radical in that they allowed their members to wear colored shirts.
Side note: Families with several boys would lend them out to local farms in order to perform works but the arrangement was made so that the parents would receive 90% of their child's paycheck and the rest would go to the child. Pretty good deal for the parents if they could have four or five boys that would be working in the area but I believe the parents would only use some of the money and put the rest towards the creation of a new homestead for their son.

All of the stores around Amish country has tie off posts and dedicated spots for Amish parking.

Yep

There’s a pretty significant Amish population in Belize as well.

Who pick up the poop? Do they have bags on the rear end?

They can bake and pickle like no one’s business.

At least they don't have to read what the idiots on social media thinks or see the clown show lives of the Kardashian's.

Highest rates of inbreeding related health issues in the country.

I think the world would be a better place with a lot more of them!

I used to live around a bunch and they’re really weird

Eh, all religions are weird. Hardcore baptists don't dance. Hindus like cows. Catholics watch a dude in a costume turn a cracker in to a dead guy. Muslims wear burkas. Mormons are going to their own planet. They are only normal because you want them to be.

OTOH, the probably have some of the lowest STD rates, and they understand the concept of two genders

The cohort that's 23 - nigh 40 years old has you worried about the future?

And many of them are rich as hell. Owner of the resort we stayed at last year was telling us the history of the Amish in Belize. Pretty fascinating.

Sounds to me like the Catholics just like a good magic show. That's the least weird thing you listed.
