I recently saw these collectible cards for sale, targeting kids. I wish them a quick and painful insolvency. https://www.blue-ocean.de/neuroblast-brainrot-party/

Corollary: we should collectively stop referring to WWW clients as “browsers” because the metaphor no longer fits. They are Web Grazers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browsing_%28herbivory%29

This article is brainrot. It is ragebait with no clear idea on actual steps to take against the brainrot industrial complex . It states that we can't or shouldn't even bother thinking about what to do about it instead it offers super generic unhelpful self-help guideline that is almost impossible to do since we must fight the brainrot industrial complex every ms to make it while they just have to win once an hour (or less) to keep us occupied. I'm all for describing problems without even trying to find solutions. But this is worse: this pretends to offer a solution so we get the kick of feeling good without actually accomplishing anything. True brainrot crap article. [Edit:] Spelling and formatting
