Comment on As soon as people could read, ages ago when they had fuck all to do they sat down and wrote (books, letters) for fun. Now, when people have fuck all to do they write internets for fun. NO CHANGE!

If you say so. But hobbyists are still doing crafts & stuff that mankind was doing thousands of years ago.

Or, look at mini-painting, par exemple. That’s something artists and tacticians were involved in since near the dawn of civilisation, and today, it’s kind of a super-hobby.

i think we’re arguing the same point but with different words. we keep having the same hobbies, just the medium might change over the years. like, first people were singing and beating animal hide drums, and now we’ve got dwarfcore, but it’s all music (and fun, if you’re into it).

  Your shower thought is amusing, but I fundamentally disagree with it in real-world terms. That’s my overall point here.
