- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

I'm genuinely sure that phones helped to kill the prevalence of smoking. Seriously.
Like, imagine you're waiting outside the cinema for your friends in pre-phone days. You can't just stand around doing nothing because you'll look like some sort of wierdo. But smoke a cigarette and suddenly you're someone with purpose.
Phones solve that same social anxiety need, to give you something to be doing when it would be awkward to look like you're doing nothing.
@tiramichu in video games NPCs can stay there and do nothing sometimes, why couldn't we?
