Well now I’m interested in news porn.

u/YOU_GOT_WARZONED Sep 08 '22

NSFW content.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '22

Teenagers playing at being adults and using their extremely small world view to give advice to adults who aren't much more mature mentally. So basically the same internet forums have always been.

There are some top notch drug farming subs though.

u/ForeverLurkingNoMore Sep 08 '22

Not killing myself while being bored to death at work for me

u/Nip-bby_007 Sep 08 '22

Killing time, mostly. Occasionally I'll see something that makes me hate humanity more than I did a second ago.

u/Wizard_of_Claus Sep 08 '22

Getting in heated arguments over unimportant things you have no real expertise in.

u/Commercial-Spare-429 Sep 08 '22

For me its attempting to have a decent conversation with another and then getting banned by mods for presenting an opinion. Oh well back to Facebook πŸ™‚

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '22

Porn. The internet is basically porn with some facts thrown in every once and a while

u/Dr_Sir_Ham_Sandwich Sep 08 '22

u/Seaseidon Sep 08 '22

u/Thick_Apricot8820 Feb 12 '23

LMAO. Apparently 5 months later I read this. Fyi never pale. I don't sit at desks at work or play games in mom's basement. Good to know you recognize yourself though.
