According to Statista, over the last two decades, the number of internet users has been growing rather steadily. As of last year, there were reportedly roughly 5.5 billion of them in the world, representing close to 70% of the population.
With numbers this huge, it’s safe to assume that millions of them log in for the funny content, which there is undoubtedly an abundance of online. But there is arguably more than just humor that attracts us to the internet.
According to Dr. Noam Shpancer, professor of psychology at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, the internet technology draws us in by tapping into four elements that are inherently attractive to human beings: information, immediacy, connection, and novelty. “We like answers to questions, and the internet has them; we like speedy gratifications—one click takes you to an answer; we like to connect with people, our friends, but also role models and interesting strangers; we like novelty and are stimulated by it. The internet offers endless variants of whatever stimuli you enjoy,” he told Bored Panda in a recent interview.
If you don’t vaccinate your children, and they get a deadly disease you should go to prison
To be fair, in most civilized countries if you don't vaccinate your children, you WILL have some legal problems, or at least CPS will be interested in you
Load More Replies...I'm Gen X and we weren't even allowed to enroll in school each year, unless we had up to date vaccination records. Every year right before school would start, Mom would have to take all of us to the doctor. They would go over our records and give us a vaccination for whatever we needed for the school year. One of the fastest ways to p**s Mom off was to start that Anti-Vax b******t. Mom was born in 1933 and knows firsthand what life was like before vaccinations were available to EVERYBODY and not just a select few. She was more than happy to give idiots a reality check on what life was like back then, especially if you were poor as f**k like how she grew up.
The problem is that these memories are now two generations away and people are starting to forget. Also a problem for other things that happened in 1933 in Germany atm.

And if that other person dies, should be liable for manslaughter at the minimum.

If your child catches a deadly disease that the U.S. and the world had basically irradicated through vaccines, you deserve any consequences that happen to you
Mom would take us August of each year before school would start, because until we graduated high school it was a requirement just to enroll for the school year. Back then they did NOT play around with that BS....No Vaccination, No School. Bonus: If your child was NOT enrolled in school each year, you would have to provide a Valid certification for Home Schooling or Exemption on why your child was NOT attending school. Otherwise, it would be considered a truancy and Mommy and Daddy, would be held responsible and would have DHS (Oklahoma's version of CPS) knocking on your door. We had an honest to God Truancy Court, if you did not have a VALID reason for missing that date, then it would allow DHS an opportunity to inspect that home. Before people get wound up, they encountered more cases ranging from Sheer Neglect, to outright all kinds of ABUSE. Surprise Inspections would give and allow DHS and Law Enforcement the chance to really see a home, before that person had the chance to clean up.
F kin anti vaxers should all be locked up for child abuse THINK ABOUT THAT !
Locking people up because they've been conned into false and harmful beliefs does not strike me as a way to make the world a better place. But if you do want to go down that route, I've got a *very* long list of false and harmful beliefs which should result in imprisonment. I'd start with the source of those false and harmful beliefs. I'd start by locking up all the fossil fuel company bosses and carry on from there. Fast food. Anyone spreading race hatred or other forms of xenophobia. Anti-vaxxers certainly are on my list, but nowhere near the top.

Spoon feeding loose, individual ingredients? 🤨 K. I won't try to explain how chemistry and vaccines work, but if/when your kid gets measles/mumps/rubella or polio, which were largely eradicated decades ago thanks to vaccines, and the present generation of doctors who have little to no experience recognizing signs of such diseases are less prepared to help, I hope your kid gets to live without lasting damage or disability caused by these easily preventable diseases.
Vaccines that have gone through years of trials & proven to be effective should absolutely be taken. fast tracking the covid vaccine that is proven to have done squat diddly at preventing one from contracting covid & actually has many side effects should never have been mandated & one should have a choice on sticking a MRNA vaccine in ones body. My children did not receive the covid vaccine nor will they ever. They caught covid twice and were totally fine. I received the covid vaccine due to a mandate at my work & my periods were messed up for almost 2 years. I had random excruciating muscle pain on & off for months. Now when I get sick, it takes my body FAR longer to get over the illness than prior to receiving the vaccine. I will forever regret taking that jab but I had to to keep my job. Unforgivable.
If you inject enough bananas into your kid not only would you goto prison but they would be radioactive and glow in the dark. yes, bananas are radioactive (Potassium) but in a very small amount. But hey! You could find them in the dark easily.
Yeah, only bananas are exactly as radioactive as people, because a certain fraction of potassium is radioactive and - as I understand it - all life on Earth needs potassium.

The conspiracy ideas and other objections come from grouping time and trial tested vaccines and experimental vaccines in the same category and requiring them. Phrenology was the go to science for 200 years and actively used for about 30 years, responsible for numerous wrong convictions and executions, and it was regarded as hard science. I am living with long term internal problems because of the experimental virus that we just had. If you want vaccines to be respected, then respect the process to test and verify the vaccine before injecting it human population. If you want vaccines taken serious, the don't defend mistakes in the science involved. Mistakes happen, panic causes horrible reactions, but time tested vaccines save lives. Dont group the two together and defend both in the name of saving the credibility of the right one
Lawrence newcomer: you sound mad. All vaccines given these days have been tested thoroughly - read here: https://web.archive.org/web/20190312004601/http://roalddahl.com/roald-dahl/timeline/1960s/november-1962. Phrenology has never been considered hard science. I've no idea what experimental virus you were given, but I assume you gave your informed consent - so, um, sorry?

“If you use it too much, it may negatively affect your mood and or distract you from important life tasks. If you use it in the wrong time or place, it may hinder your learning or create conflict; if you use it for illicit purposes, you will inflict damage on society.”
Heck, bed sleepy doesn't translate to actual sleep. Hence why I'm writing this at 3 am.
The same way the internet can be used for good or ill, it has certain advantages and disadvantages, too. According to Dr. Shpancer, the main one of the former is that it provides everyone with access to information, something that in the past was the domain of the privileged few. However, there are disadvantages, too, starting with the fact that it does not sort good from bad information. “And since bad information is easier to produce than good information, over time it comes to dominate the digital space, sewing confusion,” Prof. Shpancer noted.
“Another advantage is that it allows people to connect where in the past they wouldn’t be able to, and helps maintain connections that would otherwise wither. A disadvantage is that it may reduce people’s reliance on face-to-face contact, which has unique psychological and social benefits,” Dr. Shpancer continued.
“Another advantage is that the abundance of available connections on the internet—for example, in online dating—may provide people with a rich array of options. The disadvantage here is that over-abundance is stressful for human beings, and tends to reduce our confidence and satisfaction in our decisions.”
“Another advantage is that the internet raises work efficiency in many areas. A disadvantage is that as we become reliant on digital communication, records, and processes we also become more vulnerable to digital attacks, which may come from anywhere,” Dr. Shpancer continued. “My file cabinet may be burglarized only by local thieves. My digital data may be burglarized by thieves from anywhere in the world.”
If there is one thing on the internet people should—and many arguably already do—take advantage of, it’s humor and the abundance of memes and other kinds of funny content that is shared online.
“People like to laugh,” Dr. Shpancer told Bored Panda. “Humor elevates mood, reduces stress, and delights our senses—particularly through the element of a pleasant surprise—and facilitates interpersonal connection.
“A genuine laugh can’t be willed, it has to be elicited, and we tend to feel closer to, and good about, those who elicit it for us. If we are both in on the joke, we both get it, then we are in essence allies. It feels good—and is also essential to our psychological health—to have genuine allies.”

Meanwhile on Bored Panda, I literally was interrupted twice trying to post this one sentence. And had to hit the zit sized x ten times
So I tried to vacuum up glass from hardwood floor a few months ago thinking it'd be easier than sweeping. The noise it made sounded terrible.... and super messed up the floor. Now I know. 🤓
OMG! I did this on Monday! I'm actually scheduled to have surgery end of March and told my manager expecting to get in trouble and she says, you can't be a good employee if you're in pain. Like wtf. A normal person.
Wait...they died the cut -off hair? Or the hair remaining on her head?
Did I mention that I'm retiring on 7th April? I did? A couple of times, you say?
I miss the days when conversations ended with "bye" instead of "well, I'm in the driveway now".
I'd be more worried about what he did after he got back in the cockpit TBH
Ok, so "addict" and "addicted" are some how offensive enough to censor? This s**t is getting really f**ked up. What's next? Cramps? Vomiting? Crack smoking? Seriously, it's just silly and useless.

I find it more humorous when people try to mock people and end up mocking themselves.
