@Daojoan Confession, I like the app that reminds me to drink water. I had no idea I was not taking in enough fluids.
@tasharoni @Daojoan the whole "drink more water" meme has partly become a big thing because something like 40% of the US population is prediabetic. Dehydration is one of the symptoms

@Daojoan they used to sell car batteries with booklet manuals, for complete refit and overhaul of a Lead-Acid 12V DC,~500CCA battery.
Lately, the batteries have idiot warnings, telling customers to NOT break the seal and drink the fluid inside.

What’s scarier is that those labels needonly be there ‘cos someone DID drink the fluid!

@Daojoan It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the hunter-gatherers from before the Neolithic revolution were way smarter than the average person nowadays tbh.
Afaik there's some evidence that brain sizes have shrunk since people started settling down in cities etc.

They go to jobs of responsibility over the lives of others to earn money to subscribe to those apps to remind them they are also human and used to be capable.
