    Worst of all is that I don’t even know how to find realistic reviews for things, like smartphones, anymore - all the reviewers seem to have become “influencers” and lie to your face like “people say that this happens, but I never saw it”. Bullsh!t you didn’t, when it happens to basically everyone:-(. (even if the phone manufacturer sent them a souped-up item that actually works, the influencer is still collaborating with them, knowing that that will happen)

    It is easy to cure ignorance, simply with knowledge, but how do we get around misinformation now, without spending the time to become personal experts on every tiny aspect of life these days?

    Late-stage capitalism sucks skibidi toilet :-(.

      You’re the third person I’ve heard mention skibidi toilet (my 9-year-old daughter and 12-year-old niece being the other two), and I absolutely refuse to educate myself on whatever the fuck that is.

        You should, it’s actually good, basically a perfected throwback to decade old gmod animation meme humor. The animation is simple but to the point, cleverly and clearly conveying worldbuilding details and progressing a wordless(“skibidi skibidi skibidi” doesn’t count) but coherent story across many short episodes. People assume skibidi toilet is throwaway garbage content because its target audience is children and it’s about absurdist toilet monsters but they are wrong, it is art and the person making it knows his shit.
