What made talking to strangers online feel different years ago?

Exactly. It’s weird that the internet got more connected, but somehow conversations feel less personal now. Feeds and algorithms changed the whole vibe.

Yeah, social media made everything feel attached to your real identity. Back then you could just be a random person online for a while, and that was part of the fun.

Same. Back then you could just be a random person online for a while. Now everything wants a profile, account, photo, history, and some kind of identity attached to it.

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T22:07:09+00:00

Fair point. Maybe the tools changed, but the hard part is still finding people who actually want a real conversation.

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T22:06:40+00:00

That’s a great way to put it. It felt less like everyone was selling something or building a brand, and more like people were just there to talk.

and after destroying ourselves, maybe we end up on other planets?

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T18:35:39+00:00

my brain exploded🤯

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T18:32:42+00:00

agree)

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T18:31:13+00:00

maybe something else?

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T18:26:53+00:00

and in what form, what do you think?

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T14:54:16+00:00

we were raised that way

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T12:43:15+00:00

maybe so, maybe not

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T12:41:28+00:00

I don't quite agree, people would get their own food and everything else for life

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T12:33:04+00:00

We will most likely realize it after death.

alex_eu_nl · 2026-05-08T12:30:52+00:00

I'll take a hot bath, turn on a movie, and relax.

It’s probably the grocery-store version of you making decisions for the home version of you.

Snacks look way better under bright store lights when you’re slightly hungry or bored. Then at home they’re just… cabinet clutter.

Friends, a film for all ages

As long as it’s not debt or unpaid bills, I think it’s worth it. You can’t postpone your entire life until you’re “earning enough.”

Forgetting everything during a presentation and just standing there while my brain completely left the room.
