    The improper usage of double quotes is reprehensible. There isn’t even an ending mark for the quotation.

      Everything following this post, including your comment and mine is also part of a quotation spoken by a very confused talking horse, who was attempting to quote Socrates, but didn’t quite get it right." - A confused talking horse

      touch is a cmd to make (or update the mtime of) a file in unix like operating systems. I do not know much about the latter, it seems to be green scaline triangle like thingy earthlings used to grow a lot for not much reason. sometimes, it was also harvested, where some varieties of it produced some seed like thingies (not exactly sure what these seeds are, the seeds that i know of within my database is the starting precursor for randomness in some encryption algorithms)

    “Touch grass” and “rent free” are the most overused phrases on the internet. Rent Free always gives me the impression that the user has recently been the victim of the phrase themself, and have now started throwing it around at others at every possible opportunity.

    sounds like someone told Socrates to touch grass and he got butthurt about it.

    Today on the train-ride into work there was a group of what looked to be men in their mid 50s joking about who in their friend group was “alpha”, “beta” or “sigma”. I think that if, at this point in history, even a near-retirement age group of commuters is using the lingo then internet culture is just culture.

    I did have to resist the urge to tell them to touch grass.

    In conclusion, putting the internet on everyone’s phones was a huge mistake and we should go back to the way it was in the before-times.

    Does this mean online phrases like “touch grass,” “rent free”, and even “skibidi toilet” could be considered cognitohazards?

    Would a fish say to touch water?

    NO! They are touching water all the time. They have no concept of “no water”.

    The same with touching grass. You can only call it if you have known places without grass.
