I swear this always happens to intelligent people when they age
Me and my best friend are both gifted kids. Our families are all very smart people and so his mom and dad but for some reason, his mom is a really conservative conspiracy theorist (chemtrails, bill gates and the jews stuff) and his dad has weird spiritualist beliefs and rituals (cult inspired from buddism I think? I'm not sure) even though such stuff is forbidden under islam
Recently his mom randomly showed us a video where "they" are "vaccinating the fish". I was going to burst into laughter if I didn't hold myself so hard. My bestie is a progressive leftist, he believes in science, and he has a very materialist point of view. He says it's sometimes embarrassing for him when his family members do such thing in public
And the weirdest part is these are not caused by cognitive decline due to age. They still do understand everything pretty good and they can still process new information in a much more efficient manner than "average" people
My main idea about it is that skepticism can sometimes be a curse for boomers who did not have a source of knowledge to base their skeptic ideas on, and they are just not used to accuiring reliable knowledge from the web. Reliable knowledge often being in English and majority of boomers in my country not knowing English also contributes to that
Thankfully it's being trained on some real intellectual discourse like your rectum getting stretched out by rock hard shit instead of that garbage
That's what I've been saying all the time when my brother says monopoly sucks when you don't win. It's literally designed to make you suffer
Now I wanna start a BanCarbon movement similar to "Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide"
But did all the objects on earth also lose their momentum? Otherwise they would be already made into paste before the waves
this is the peak of human engineering, this is what we have been working for since the dawn of humanity, this is the end, the perfection.
Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable
I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It's a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms
They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it's just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those
4chan doesn't have profile pictures. That's the image anon posted

I don't think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse
TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern "social" media works, it's the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon
Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can't really get addicted to fedi
I wasn't really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn't like it much.
I don't know why but "the algorithm" is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely "fake". Other sorting methods like "new" or "by most active" just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard
