    @Daojoan

    There's a whole culture of people who grew up in the 80s and 90s bragging on social media about how they used to drink water from the garden hose.

      @Daojoan they used to sell car batteries with booklet manuals, for complete refit and overhaul of a Lead-Acid 12V DC,~500CCA battery.

      Lately, the batteries have idiot warnings, telling customers to NOT break the seal and drink the fluid inside.

          I think we are the dumbest. Our survival instincts are gone and we create nothing of value to the continuation of humankind. We are putting every resource into something called Artificial Intelligence

            @Daojoan It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the hunter-gatherers from before the Neolithic revolution were way smarter than the average person nowadays tbh.

            Afaik there's some evidence that brain sizes have shrunk since people started settling down in cities etc.

                      @HakeemG @Daojoan Back in the 60s and 70s, we rode to school in the backs of dinosaurs and wrote on stone with chisel in class…and we liked it!

                      I’m just kidding, but yeah, I admit, older folk have a bad of habit of being overly nostalgic sometimes.

                        @rasterweb @Daojoan Every day, as I age and live in this country, under my dystopian government, I feel like I’m living in that movie Idiocracy—except this version is no comedy.

                            @archivescribe @Daojoan I think the Internet has had two effects: we are more knowledgeable but also *less* knowledgeable. The ability to just “look things up” means we don’t have to learn or remember things.

                              @tasharoni @Daojoan the whole "drink more water" meme has partly become a big thing because something like 40% of the US population is prediabetic. Dehydration is one of the symptoms

                                We did write on stone with other stones ...

                                Slate chalkboards with chalk.

                                Does that count?

                                        What’s scarier is that those labels need only be there ‘cos someone DID drink the fluid.
