This is really sad, but one has to wonder if it's actually prevalent enough to warrant news or the typical "everyone panic the youth are doing blank" when someone just said something on the internet once.
That's kind of neat actually, but nothing that didn't already exist on AOL in the 90s

We’re kind of doing it right now actually! How about that weather today huh?

Not too bad. What really gets to me is the humidity.

Ugh, tell me about it. My work is so humid that I wouldn't be surprised about clouds forming indoors.

One person made an app for their weird thing. Sound the alarm bells, the younger generation is doomed

Ooh "doing blank" is the perfect slang term for this activity.
"I just spent my whole paycheck on rent and electricity. Next one is car note and groceries. Imma hit some blank for a while so I can get to sleep."

Why do you think a popular genre of games these days are life Sim stuff that gets weirdly mundane.
People want to be able to build computers or drive a truck or a train or clean a pool but dont want to not be paid a livable wage to do so. So nw we all make believe.
Just can't seem to get the real world in line so now its just all pretend. Thats the part that sucks.

Real work in real life for shit wages? 🖐️🙂↔️
Fake work in a video game for thousands of dollars a month fron Patreon and Twitch donators? ☝️🙂↕️

Combine this with one of those cosy spaces apps, so like all the garbage you buy needs to be managed or your cosy space devolves into a hoarder house or something. That would be a neat game.

People are saying it's bleak but at least people aren't buying random crap they don't need

Side note: you can acquire as much shop-amine and buy as much random crap as you want if you buy everything used!

Humanity is really going for that Darwin award.

And taking the planet with it

I think humanity has been here a couple of times and been whiped out.
The Hindu says we are on our 7th iteration, the Greek says we are on our 5th, Aztec says 5th, and Christianity says 2 (Noah saving animals).
Earth will be fine. :) It can heal from our damage but will take time. The again, time doesn't matter. If next generation is in 10000 years from now, they will start their count from their birth, like we did.

That's not suspicious at all. Am I missing something?

Wouldn't a better idea be to write an extension that just pretends a bogus card number was accepted for multiple sites?
