Shitposting aside: there is a valid point on there. Because we can’t see our opposites in any discussion on the internet, we cannot take clues into account we otherwise might have. This leads to far-reaching misinterpretations. Imagine someone with a very weird and overly simplistic political stance they defend with tooth and nail. Now imagine that person to be some activist with a cap with political slogans on it. Okay, and now imagine the person to be not that, but a 15-year-old who just started to grasp the world around them but thinks they have it all figured out (puberty doing puberty things). Your reaction to either of them would be VASTLY different, wouldn’t it. Imagine how many stupid internet fights would never have happened if it was known that one of the participants is a literal child that can’t have a clue what they are talking about yet.
Yet, not knowing that we’ve been arguing with a child for the last hour and a half, we will leave the discussion with the impression that there are grown up people out there thinking childish bullshit. Don’t get me wrong, there are those people, but they are not as frequent as one might guess from the internet.
I love that perspective, so true. It even goes the other way, YOU could be a literal child posting such a thought-provoking comment, we’ll never know.
On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.
This is why I refuse to take relationship advice from the internet. I wonder how many adults have gotten divorced because a teenager on Reddit told them to
Every. Single. Post.
“You need a divorce. This is gaslighting and abuse. He/She does not respect you as a woman/man.”
I remember this one post where a guy asked his girlfriend if she would bite the bullet and help the women in his very conservative family cook Thanksgiving dinner once per year. He was super apologetic but explained that the women in the family got super pissed and offended by women not cooking. He had already tried talking to them and they weren’t having it. He was between a rock and a hard place. Clearly he didn’t know what to do.
Reddit flipped their shit and said the guy had to choose between his girlfriend and his family. Obviously I am against traditional, conservative, gender-role bullshit. But I have dealt with plenty of shit to have a good relationship with my wife’s imperfect family. And she has dealt with tons of shit to put up with my imperfect family. A good relationship is two people who do things for the other person. It’s reciprocal and kind, even in unpleasant situations. This guy didn’t choose his family and he won’t change them. All they can do is choose to do it differently in their own house and raise their children differently.
I hate the relationship subreddits. Hot garbage.
tbh I don’t see it as a “child” thing, half-knowledge is blinding regardless of age
a literal child may not have the capacity to learn from the interaction, yet. maybe other people reading it will, though.
Yeah, but that means curiosity and acceptance of ignorance. It is a virtue many struggle to have today. (even me probs lol)
Average Italian violently discussing about their food absolute truth and eating shit the whole time
We let the flies lay maggots in the cheese 🤌
I recently had a discussion with someone on Instagram, about freedom to and freedom from.
Turned out they are a Nazi cosplayer with multiple uniforms, going to actual Neo-Nazi meetings.
I got a strike on Instagram for mocking a bored ape owner, but the amount of actual Nazi sympathisers on that page is not an issue I guess.
It also helps to remember the vast majority of users are children under the age of about 24. That really puts things in perspective.
Do you see a 22 year old as a child? Lol.
I sure do. It’s surprising you would disagree, so I’d guess that you are either very young yourself, or unaware of the facts. I’m almost north of the 40 border and the interns and junior associates at work literally look like children to me.
I’m not a neurologist but it’s pretty much understood and accepted that brains aren’t fully formed until 24 or 25, particularly in terms of judgement and rational though and emotion.

I’m an SME in a technical field (tax) so I need only refer to literally any thread to see abundant examples of petulant whiny children screaming about technical shit they don’t understand. I remind myself that these are very young immature people still wet behind the ears, with very little real word experience, before engaging them in debate.
Unironically yes. Of course when I was around that age I didn’t but now I really do. As far as maturity I don’t see a major difference between an 18 year old and 22 year old. So you attended school a few more years? Entered the workforce for a few years? That’s not maturity imo but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I wouldn’t say child but definitely still in the teenager category imo although they’re not actually teens ofc
Wonder how this will change once you reach, like, 60 :D Would anyone under 40 be a child?
It’s a reasonable thought and I’m curious too. Didn’t Treebeard call Gandalf young once, and Gandalf is like 8,000 years old or something?
That said, I haven’t seen or felt much change from early 30s vs late 30s, compared to a huge difference from early vs late 20s. My dad is almost 70 and I think of him as young-ish. Certainly not old anyway (although I know plenty of people a bit younger than him that I consider “old”.) I asked him recently what he considers old and he said 85 or so. Guess it’s all relative.

Yep. Someone was talking about ear piercings and bodily autonomy. I commented that I wanted my ears pierced and my grandma took me to her doctor to have them professionally done instead of going to Claire’s. Got downvoted to hell. Wtf.
Where all I got was a drunk and stoned buddy of mine saying “Hey, hold still” while he jammed a dull earring through my ear into a potato.
Ouch! That sounds painful!
It was, but honestly, all these years later it was the popping sound that I remember most.
ah what the heck
Waste of a potato too, should be boiling and mashing em.
Throw in a chicken bone, a couple of carrots. Baby, you’ve got a stew going!
Damn, now I’m hungry at almost 1am.
Usually when I get a really dumb comment from someone, I look at their profile and the only thing they ever talk about is sports. Not my idea, just an observation.

You guys don’t drink your own piss?
I know, right? If we weren’t supposed to drink our own piss then why does it look like lemonade?
The trouble is, everybody’s piss looks like lemonade.
So what I’m asking is, would you mind filling this bottle?
No you sick Fuck if i drank my piss what would the dog drink ,he’s gonna get thirsty
My brain refuses to accept someone voluntarily drinks their own piss regularly when they have other options readily available… If someone actually does this please post an ama… I have so many questions
Maybe it’s because it’s sterile and they like the taste.
Edit: Y’all motherfuckers never seen Dodgeball? https://youtu.be/peUyLXrgYZ0?t=55
It is not sterile, that is a myth.

Italian piss is the best piss. Change my mind
In my opinion, it’s French piss. Don’t get me wrong, Italian piss is good and all, but the reason I prefer French piss is because it still has the Europeany piss taste that Italian piss has, but tastes a bit more sour which gives it a richer flavor. It also feels a bit more classy than Italian piss. Italian piss is a close runner-up though. I hope you take this into consideration, Thank you.
I turned my tooth into a Jellyfish to absorb the piss (⌐■‿■)
