People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Or maybe just not go on the internet so much?
Most people are addicted. It's like you are saying "Just stop smoking cigarettes so often"
That's a more reasonable suggestion than "evolve more lungs"
With cigarettes, we recognized the harm that they did and in response developed a series of regulations about where they could be used, who could use them when, how they could be advertised, warning labels that had to be applied, and taxes on them to discourage use and offset the societal harm. As result we get this:
...and this...
The internet is a tricky one on account of it absolutely having crossover with the first amendment, but there's got to be a conversation about its effect on mental health and what if anything can be done in response.
Personally I am in favor of regulating the internet but the potential censorship concerns are a serious issue with actually doing it
I'm not even sure anymore what this analogy is about but 🤣
exactly, hence why I will always promote research into lung alternatives that can better handle particulate matter and are easily replaceable
