They just went from we love you guys to we don’t even give a fuck bend over boy in like 6 months.
Twitter has also shifted into a dystopian QQ wannabe.
Meta has been a dumpster fire for a decade now.
Tik Tok. heavy sigh
This kinda seems like end of times.
if this is your version of the end of times, I suggest you take a look out your window at the burning hellscape of western north america and other locations around the globe. I also hope you're not too attached to birds or polar bears.
My world ends whenever someone doesn't understand hyperbole
Now I become death, destroyer of literary device
You became Death? How did you manage that?
By taking things literally, apparently
This makes me want to just set myself on fire!
birds or polar bears
Phew! Luckily I just like penguins...

Even the name Penguin is a hybrid of polar and penguin.

How am I devaluing what they are saying by pointing out there are much, much, more serious signals of a looming apocalypse?

I'm not trying to start anything, I just don't follow your logic, and your comments seem like an over reaction.
I'm happy to agree to disagree though, and won't presue a conversation neither of us really wants to have.

Lol that's more like the end of American consumerism, and while I wholeheartedly agree, that'll take a generation or two at least to decouple from American society. That shit's been going strong here for over 100 years.
Only if you're a normie
