Strange modern phenomenons

[Gorse]

The need to buy shine new things even if you got an already working thingies (be cellphones, microwave, cars, etc) or they inability to send them (withing reason) to repair if they broke.

The second of these points is responsible for the first.

Social media have been useful as it ousted alot of people, from the regular joe to celebrities of being complete, utter blittering morons, usually by their own doing.

It's not modern by any means, but blanket statements and generally unfounded beliefs

What are some of the odd things that affect society nowadays that you find difficult to logically understand or justify?

For me, what comes to mind most strongly is how the internet created this odd tendency of people wanting to desperately share any and all kinds of minutia that pertain their lives.

I can sort of understand WHY it happens: people want attention, views, validation... but it still baffles my mind that a human being would so easily open up details about themselves to countless unknowns literally across the globe.

I'm probably old fashioned and shut in by nature, but yeah.

Like posting a picture of your dinner, or telling people when you have to pee, or your butt itches.

Honestly I think it's a combination of lonliness and the unmet need to be around other people physically, then everyone in the room will know that you farted, instead of having to spell it out.

I've noticed that many people complain about living costs raising but at the same time, they pay for like 5 subscription services, a new phone every year, eating out regularly and stuff. It may be an exageration but you can't deny it, i'm broke and yet i find the money to spend in yugioh cards. What a strange world we live in.

My mom told me that poverty now is different from before: She was poor when she was a kid: a numerous family that could only afford to eat bread and coffe with milk for breakfast, no fridge, no tv, having only a car. Nowadays it seems any poor person has a phone, a tv, a car (somehow), and an internet conection.

Take in mind, this does not apply to everyone but it's curious to see and it's something that we can only see in modern times.

This reminds me of when people complain that certain media “doesn’t respect your time”. Like, what the fuck else are you doing, drone? Doomscrolling social media and masturbating? God forbid anything cut into that!
