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.
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.
Your reaction to either of them would be VASTLY different, wouldn’t it.
It might be, but the benefit of the internet and sites like this are that it isn't. A bad take is a bad take whether it comes fro ignorance or malice.
I definitely would be a worse person today if I hadn't been put in my place by internet people as a kid.
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.
Absolutely
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
Wait I am child?
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.
Bear Grylls entered the chat.
Average Italian violently discussing about their food absolute truth and eating shit the whole time
We let the flies lay maggots in the cheese 🤌
Reddit moment
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.
Arguing over literal taste seems so utterly pointless to me lol
„There‘s no accounting for taste“
Humanity does this to everything we touch eventually lol
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.

Wonder if the average Joe gets this.
Edit apparently not. The answer is a movie called dodgeball. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxxescfF1pmQ3XUaXaJZWKXUbnt2FTZ6EG
Actually it's only sterile in the bladder, once it passes through the urethra it picks up bacteria.
A true classic!
Only in an emergency
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.
Holy shit me too. And I have plenty of smart friends who love sports, but the correlation online happened way too many times
The smartest sports fan I knew was an Auburn fan. He had gone there and gotten his education, became a self important engineer at a major transportation company. His password for half a decade on everything, personal or commercial, was a variation of War Eagle.
I do not understand how even the smartest of sports fans manage to make it their whole personality to the point that they can’t even come up with a decent password because the most obscure thing they can think about is the very popular Eagle thing his college had done for decades.
The mediocre loves mediocrity -- if a random person behaves like a 12 year old, then he (very likely) is a 12 year old or has a mind of one.
Loooooooool
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?

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.
what about brazilian piss'
You've tried them all then?
I'll never forget a cliche r/guns post with a dude showing off his new rifle and all the comments were "do not click on profile". I clicked it and it was gay furry butthole pics. It was suprisingly well received by the sub, to each their own. That stood as a stark reminder of just how different people can be.
there is the gun hole cleaner, and then there is the
Old but gold, this one never fails to amuse me
Given the matters discussed, this sounds gross
pissmaster in making ...
This happened a lot back when I used to use Ifunny. Except instead of piss gargling it was following 30 porn accounts.
Don't kink shame heheh
I think Italian food is pretty mainstream now.

Wait just a second... this isn't a shit post -- It's a piss post! I demand a refund.
One of my favorite posts lmao
I try to moderate myself in the face of arguments, trolls, or downvotes on my opinions by remembering that I'm here for entertainment value first and education as a close second in the relevant subs.
You can't take what other people think too seriously. I'm not saying be an asshole; rather, there are more important things in life deserving of your time and attention than the Internet. If it's not making you happy, move on.
To add on to this. If social media is making you feel terrible, hateful, sad, or like you have no control, then you have to take a break from it. It doesn’t have to be along one, and you can come back later, but I see many people on the internet stuck in this trap which ruins their mental health. Social media is supposed to be a tool to help you connect with others and entertain you, not make you feel scared or anxious at the world.
Make your own content you fucking wanker.
hydrohomies is getting weird
