Just one more piece of evidence of something I've been saying for a long time. Young people are isolated, atomized and terminally online.
"s-social media isn't real life"
"t-the internet isn't real life, touch grass!"
>Data shows gen z spends literally half of their waking hours online. If they're not at work or in class, they're online
Reminds me of how people say "dating apps aren't real life, m-most people meet via social circle" despite the data showing most couples meet online and only 7 percent of couples met through friends.
Bottom line, the internet IS real life in 2025. Nobody is "touching grass". Tiktok and reddit are by far the best ways of gauging the current cultural zeitgeist. My gen z coworkers all talk like tiktokers and redditors. Anyone denying any of this at this point is an out of touch autist or boomer.
