gollark: Anyway, the internet is complicated and has complicated effects and I don't think it is practical or sane to go "it's good" or "it's bad".

gollark: People blame obesity on lots of things: food changes, chemical contaminants of some sort, people doing less physical activity (which is not entirely due to the internet).

gollark: Nonrandom number generator.

gollark: That's an assumption and 0.75.

gollark: Other than that, I like being able to look up things conveniently and talk to people who are not physically nearby, which is most of them.
