Social media divides us, makes us more extreme and less empathetic, it riles us up or sucks us into doom scrolling, making us stressed and depressed. It feels like we need to touch grass and escape to the real world.
New research shows that we might have largely misinterpreted why this is the case. It turns out that the social media internet may uniquely undermine the way our brains work but not in the way you think.

The video is kind of interesting… yes, I remember those days, and yes, there was a lot less bickering and fighting online.
The bickering was dumber and less serious but there was plenty of it on the newsgroups lol.
I was a forums guy back then. We did pick on each other, make stupid jokes on each other’s expenses, but it wasn’t taken to heart… like contruction workers roasting each other all day, that was mostly it 😂.
People had died and gang wars were made. That’s how popular anime and media got inspiration to get crime stories started.
Wow… didn’t actually know that… sad 😔.
