Yeah, the world is going peachy, everything is just fine. Not like we're on the verge of jackpot, religious morons on the rise, wars, antivax stuff.. it's the mindset right right

To be fair this is the best time to be alive ever.

[–] MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's certainly true.

It's really not. The average IQ dropped for the first time, the average lifespan dropped for the first time... All data points to the 70s-00s as being the best time to be alive. We're past peak.

Damn, I'm too old - I still think it's the 00 years. Weeee
