    I can’t imagine growing up with social media. Probably not good for development.

      And honestly, I was a full on adult when covid hit and I regressed. It’s got to have been awful for kids

      i grew up during the wild internet days

      saw one man one jar, two girls one cup, smile HD, happy tree friends, and incredibly graphic gore when i was at the ripe old age of 12

      considering the circumstances i think i turned out fine, well, as fine as a person with empathy can be in this hellscape

        Yes, but that was still before social media. As weird as it sounds, social media is probably more damaging than the early oughts shock sites

          trueee, the closest i got to social media back then was a forum for a game i liked with less than 50 regular members
