  They probably said this about disco and sliced bread too.

    Sliced bread, that’s it, grab your forks!

    Those weren't designed to be addicting the way platforms like TikTok are

  Hasn't it already?

  You guys try talking to people online outside the Fediverse (and even here sometimes)? It's like Idiocracy is happening IRL.

  I mean yeah we’ve known this for a while now but the phrasing makes it sound deliberately panic inducing

    So would you say that is unjust, seeing the massive effects and repercussions of this on society as a whole? As a father of a young girl I’m very happy to see more attention on this by news media.

      But as your father it’s your responsibility to limit her screen time. TikTok brain isn’t “coming for your kids” you’re enabling it.

      People act like taking away Internet is abuse and it’s weird
