Current Events > Social media needs to be shot into the sun.

Absolutely worthless. Serves no purpose but to bring out the worst in people. Everyone asked if they could share their unsolicited opinions on random strangers, but not if they should.

you asked if you could, but not if you should. (You shouldnt have no one cares)

The internet was supposed to be the "great equalizer". Social media is simply the next step of our zeitgeist. People in the 30s had radio. People in the 50s and 60s had TV. We have social media. And I guarantee you people said the same thing about being shot into the sun about those too.

Actually I don't know if it'd make a bang. Depends what's carrying all the social media to the sun. I'm assuming it'd unceremoniously melt or fall apart when it started getting close to the sun and then eventually dissipate into nothing. Maybe some fizzling noises.

Eventually when we turn the sun into a big computer to host the virtual world we all live in as data, people will say being shot into the sun should be shot into the sun

I didn't say "with". I said "on". Imagine if you said "happy birthday" to someone on Facebook and someone else that neither of you know responds to your post that you are a piece of shit and that birthdays are for Satan. I'm not talking argument over a political opinion. I'm talking bullying someone you don't know because somehow you stumbled across their post. You post an opinion on this site, you're fishing for responses. It's a different scenario.

It's just like real life. There's a difference between getting into an argument at work or wherever over shared opinions or a personal slight, and insulting a random passerby because you think they are ugly and stupid.

Social media is a cancer on society
