People don't know how to interact with each other without the Internet. They don't know how to talk to each other without the loving Internet. They don't know how to find information or form an opinion without the Internet. They don't know how to have fun without the Internet. We are forgetting how to live in the real world. Everyone just builds their little bubbles, their own customized stream of information tailored to the way they like to think the world is rather than trying to discern the reality of any given situation. To be confronted with information or views that conflict with ones bubble is the ultimate outrage. To face it would take away the good feels, and good feels are the most important commodity in the online era. Easier to block and unfriend all sources of discomfort from the feed, no need to try and get along or understand. We weren't made for this poo poo. It's goddamn dangerous. It was cute when it was novel. Now it is all encompassing and it's loving terrifying. Can we please shut this thing down already? I'll miss the forums but it's for the good of the species really.

We used to have these things called porno mags, it was like physical printed pages of smut. You had to buy it from stores and collect it. It was honestly a very special thing.

It's always been this way Op. How do you think the term "Social Darwinism" came about? We are just testing the limits of extremism, due to echo chamber. This is just the start.

Internet. Inter-net. It's internal. This is a dream. Google are just your stored memories over your many lifetimes. You can't get 'rid' of it until you wake up.

People dated before the Internet and they can learn to do it again. You might have to take a chance and get to know someone rather than look at their social media accounts to determine if you get along or not. How terrible!

No we need to shut the whole fucker down cold turkey. Most people won't voluntarily leave the web even if it's destroying them. You know, like heroin or meth.

We will soon make Facebook and games so awesome that we'll forget our real lives.

The good part of getting hit with a solar flare is how all the internet will be gone, but the bad part is that 3 billion people will die from starvation, exposure, and disease. Wait, I got that backward.
