Ten Years Of Spiders Georg! Celebrate!

ten years of Spiders Georg! Celebrate!

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Oh no are we doing the "popular children's program is BASICALLY COCAINE and will LITTERALLY ROT YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN" again?

Didn't happen with teletubbies, didn't happen with spongebob, isnt going to happen with cocomelon. Also instances of childhood neglect leading to noticeable and severe developmental delay like "cant write cus ipad" (in my day it was "cant write because texting") and "cant talk because tv" (that once hasn't changed) remain rare and is not something the majority of kids are ever going to experience. Even when they do, there is usually an underlying cause and the problem would still be there without the presence of the technology, for example a child with speech delay may well engage in echolalia simply because that's how their brain works, and of course its going to relate to YouTube if they watch YouTube. If they didn't they'd copy something else but they wouldn't be speaking in full original sentences. (And lets be real plenty of these are just people jumping to blaming technology instead of accepting that developmental delay is normal and happens. People want to blame things, they don't want to accept they have a child they see as broken). Maybe the evil ipad stopped your kid tying their shoelaces or maybe its actually a hard thing and some people, LIKE ME FOR EXAMPLE, cant do it.

This same scaremongering happens every generation and is always overblown crap. This generation its evil ipads, for mine it was TV. For my mother's it was physical affection. Its bullshit, calm down.

(Also kids are being expected to do things younger and younger when it isn't developmentally appropriate. Like being expected to be physically developed enough to write by hand neatly at nursery age. Which is physically impossible. Thats not ipads their bones haven't grown enough yet. So maybe chill)

(Also also, you might wanna consider how much is you clinging to ways of living just because its normal to you. It took me a while to accept that my child's difficulty with writing does not need to be considered any kind of delay because its 2023 and we have keyboards and screens now. This "problem" actually has zero effect on it ever since adults stopped losing their minds over it. We dont live in a world that requires handwriting anymore. White teachers have also been losing their minds over kids "regressing" during covid for "forgetting how to use knives and forks" when like. Bitch these kids are Indian. They know how to eat they just do it differently and didn't have to assimilate for a year. That's not something to worry about!)

Tl;dr you're falling for the "technology is corrupting the youth and now they are different from us" again.
