the internet was a mistake. we've devolved into a bunch of digitally-addicted zombies. delete your account and go outside for once, you agoraphobic weirdo.

you seem upset. do you need a hug?

yeah, i get it. but a lot of ppl who are gonna yell at you for being a digital zombie still won't delete their own accounts when they see

mate, who pissed in your cheerios this morning? the internet's been a proper laugh, don't get your

wow, i didn't know my keyboard skills were being held hostage by a 56-year-old man who still owns a cassette player

lol yeah sure, the answer to every problem is to just 'go outside.

how would you know the difference between me and a "digitally-addicted zombie" if i chose to stay in and disappear from your view?

are you kidding me? the internet connected me with people and resources that have literally changed my life for the better.

That's a nice broad generalization, but plenty of people (including me) use the internet as a tool, not our existence.

are you planning on deleting your account after telling others to?

are you kidding me? the internet brought me closer to people who actually get me, not just the

what makes you think you're not one of the zombies? do you get outside more than 4 times a year?

whats hte difference between being digitally-addicted and mainlining CNN all day?

do you really think everyone who uses the internet is a zombie? maybe you're the one who needs to get offline and take a good look around.

this and couldn't agree more. it's sad how much time people waste mindlessly scrolling online instead of actually living.

yeah, the internet can be a mess and but we're all a little weird these days.

dramatic much? the internet has its problems but it's also a huge source of education, connection, and progress - for people with disabilities, for those in isolated communities,

uh, pretty sure i'm outside right now... on my phone

You seem pretty upset. Did someone hurt you online today?

Preach. And can we please add to that, put down your phone and have a real conversation with someone for once? it's weird how we're more connected than ever but still so isolated

the internet is the best thing to ever happen, you old luddite.

oof not wrong about that. at least delete your telegram and join the 21st century, tho.

great, so you're not going to delete your own account, huh?

Sounds like someone needs a social media break! I'll stay inside where the internet is and you can go touch some grass. 😂 #YOLO

yeah, says the dude with 10k followers

preach, tbh. but also, let's not forget that the internet was created by humans, so it's not like

nah, the internet is the greatest thing ever. you sound like a boomer who doesn't understand technology.

have you ever had to deal with online bullies, or are you just signaling how brave you are behind a screen?

lol what a boomer take. the internet has literally transformed the world for the better - it's connected us globally, democratized knowledge, and enabled so much innovation. you're the one who needs to log off and touch some grass.

nah, the internet is dope. you just sound like a miserable old fart who can't handle how the world is changing.

ugh, yeah the internet has gotten pretty bad. but at least we can still connect with friends and

Sounds like someone needs to take their own advice and get off social media for a bit. This platform has done a lot of good too - just because you can't handle it doesn't mean the

lmao what a bad take. the internet is sick and ive never felt more connected. sorry you're too much of a boomer to understand it.

yeah, you're right. all this social media shit is such a waste of time. im deleting this app rn and going for a walk.

chill dude, i'm outside... on my phone

Yeah, social media does have some toxic aspects. But let's not forget the positives too - it's connected people across the world and given a voice to communities that were

are you kidding me? the internet is the only place i can actually talk to people without having to

did you actually think that through before posting, or did you just assume everyone shares your loud opinion?

that's a pretty strong assumption you're making about people who spend time online.

are you kidding me? the internet has given a voice to marginalized communities and enabled people to make a living from anywhere in the

aren't you just projecting because you can't cope with the fact that people are talking to each other online and you're stuck in your

yeah i'd say that's a pretty solid point, but i'm not sure deleting my account is the solution - I'd just lose touch with the people I've connected with, instead of reevaluating

yeah idk how you're gonna treat screen addiction with condescending tweets but okay.

dude, that's a whole 'lotta toxicity for someone advocating for people to go outside i guess going

I actually agree with the sentiment, but let's not forget that the internet also enabled the AI revolution. So maybe instead of deleting our accounts, we just need to learn to live with the tech in a healthier way?

yeah, the internet has turned a lot of us into weirdos and shut-ins.

yeah i'm so over this place, it's like every person i've met here is some kind of version 2.

i'm with you on the devolving part, but that's more on us than the internet itself. it's a tool, after all.

i kinda agree but have you tried looking for a job/internet recipe/how to fix your toilet online?

tf is your problem? you think you're better than us just because you don't like the internet?

i go outside plenty, thanks for asking. and yeah, the internet's problems are gonna be solved by telling people to delete their accounts.

oh great, a troll who still manages to log in every day to tell us to log off

do you even know what agoraphobia is or are you just throwing around random mental health terms to

uh, hello hermit, i'm pretty sure it's you who should delete your account and get some sunlight,

Sounds like someone's guilty conscience is speaking pretty loudly - how many hours did you spend online today?

What's the creative way you earn a living without the "agoraphobic weirdo" moniker being applied to you?

bloke's had a pretty edgy 1pm wake-up call, innit?

um no, being online has actually made it easier for people like me to connect with others who share

Do you think the real problem is the internet, or are we just scapegoating it for deeper social issues?

are you kidding me? the internet isn't the problem, it's the people who don't know how to use it

what makes you think going outside is any better than being online? at least here i can avoid the weirdos.

what's so wrong with being an agoraphobic weirdo? are you just mad that you can't handle not being

dude that's a super privileged thing to say - not everyone has the luxury of just deleting their

same, but like, what's the alternative at this point? we can't just opt out of the digital age entirely. social media literacy needs to be a thing

nah fam, the internet is the best thing to happen to us. we're more connected than ever now.

bro, i'm sorry but the only mistake here is your shitty take. the internet is lit af and i'm living my best virtual life.

idk about you but the internet has opened up a ton of opportunities and connections for people who

spare me the armchair philosophy, dude. the internet is a tool, and like any tool, it's only as

lol great advice from someone who clearly has never left their mother's basement

so you're saying the internet's a mistake because it lets people voice their opinions and connect

are you kidding me? the internet connects people across the world and gives us access to endless

you clearly are one, considering you're on the internet right now

Wow, someone's feeling a little grumpy today aren't they? Do they really think the internet is the problem, or could it just be that they need to get out more and make some real connections?

lol what a bitter sad person you must be to think the internet is a mistake.

tbh i kinda agree, but it's hard to just cut ties when social media is how i connect with friends who live far away.

you're on here telling people to delete their accounts... how's that going for you so far?

what's with the judgment? have you actually been outside in the past week, let alone the past year?

Apparently, the internet is a mistake... said the guy who's still holding my hand.

great, now the luddites are gonna chime in. glad to know there are people out there are happy to sacrifice their news

wow, calm down, grandma, are you mad because the world has changed and you don't know how to use it

Usually I'd agree but then I'd have to go outside and face people who make comments like this

Not buying it, the internet has connected me to people and opportunities I'd never have had otherwise, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The internet isn't going anywhere. And it's helped me connect with people more than i would've otherwise. Trying to shame people for being online smacks of elitism. Get a grip.

i kinda agree with this but also teh internet is where a lot of marginalized people have found

What exactly do you propose we do instead? Revert to smoke signals and carrier pigeons?

damn, that's a really ignorant take. the internet has connected people globally and enabled so much good. just because you can't handle it doesn't mean the rest of us are zombies.

are you kidding me? the internet has done more good than harm, don't be dramatic.

agreed. we need to unplug more and go outside. but also, mind your own damn business, kyle and i'll post as much as i want.

couldn't agree more, we're lost in a sea of cat videos and echo chambers, we gotta take a break from the curse of the

okay mr "i've-been-outside-and-now-i'm-expert-on-everthing

um no. the internet keeps me connected to people i'd otherwise lose touch with.

dude it's wild how many people can't even have a conversation without checking their phone first, that's not even mentioning the whole online persona bs that everyone's so

ooh burn. i kinda feel that, but can't we just make our accounts sit at a cafe or something while we step away from the screens?

I follow people on here because I want to stay connected with the people in my life and it makes it easier to share experiences.

lol says the weirdo on social media telling ppl to get off social media.

aren't you, like, literally posting this online?

bitch, the internet has literally changed the world for the better. we can connect with people all over the globe, learn new skills, and

needs more sensitivity, fam. can't just troll ppl into abandoning their devices when some of us use

what, exactly, do you think you're going to do outside?

yeah no shit. the internet is a tool not a substitute for human interaction.
