And a new generation of apps which may decide to kill us.

There's a whole culture of people who grew up in the 80s and 90s bragging on social media about how they used to drink water from the garden hose.

@rasterweb @Daojoan Every day, as I age and live in this country, under my dystopian government, I feel like I’m living in that movie Idiocracy—except this version no comedy.

@Daojoan Confession, I like the app that reminds me to drink water. I had no idea I was not taking in enough fluids.

@archivescribe @Daojoan I think the Internet has had two effects: we are more knowledgeable but also *less* knowledgeable. The ability to just “look things up” means we don’t have to learn or remember things.

@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.
