Meanwhile, the media I consume:

  • Inevitable global warming catastrophe
  • War in Ukraine
  • Genocide in Gaza
  • Genocide in Sudan
  • Funny cat videos
  • Unbridled late stage capitalism
  • Nobody can afford to live
  • Billionaires making even more billions
  • Rampant fascism

Ok that's enough for today...

I think this describes most of Lemmy, which explains why this place is full of miserable bastards.

Better miserable bastards than fascists

Nah man.

Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Facebook, Instagram, Imgur, etc.

I think you misspelled "the internet"

There's always been terrible things going on, but now the internet allows us to inundate ourselves with news daily.

Don't forget the classics:

  • AI voice describing a mildly interesting video and injecting false information
  • Podcast snippet with Minecraft Parkour or GTA racing at the bottom
  • Movie or Series scene with one of those 5 shitty songs placed on top.
