Its not age, its your brain being damaged by what you are watching. Tiktok users cant sit still for 30 seconds.

Not a real fact, just making a point about how its changing our brains.

And if you watch too much TV, you'll get square eyes!

Studies show if your eyes are locked to a certain focus distance they will deteriorate faster and it's theorized this has resulted in the increase of myopia in young people.

I could see him emailing this

He does always look a bit tired and fed up with the world yeah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek

Also that URL goes crazy because of his last name Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek

Is this real? I went to one of Slavoj’s talks in real life a couple years ago, and he said some stuff really similar to this.

He is getting quite old tbh. I fear he will leave us soon

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He had lost a lot of weight when I saw him irl.

Hope you're being literal and not figurative?
