I have privacy concerns about this meme
Hm. I wonder what the lack of any sort of punctuation at all says about you.
Fuuuuuuuck I hate how real this is >.<
I never understood how human I was until I saw this meme and realized we all basically do this.
WHAT IF I USE ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME?
Old, unhinged, or both‽
That's why I only use interrobangs‽ Keep everyone guessing‽
YOU MONSTER‽
dude using interrobangs is a fucking power move
I'm going....to use random ellipses...everywhere. What does it....mean? Idk....but too many people....do it.
Calculon?
God I hate it. I pause every ellipses automatically in my head so I'm reading that much slower and it makes me angry.
I do it in specific instances where I want to express a pause, like "that was....ok?" I also use it when I want what I'm saying to come off as annoyed. "The shipment was late, again..."
I actually worry about exclamation points because I use them like OPs image, but I always worry people take it as yelling or something lol
Quickest way to get ignored.
It's cruise control for cool.
I'm using a question mark because I'm unsure of myself?
I'm ending this with an exclamation point because I like to subvert expectations.
I always assume people who end statements with question marks talk like David from Schitt's Creek?
My autistic brain goes „WTF? Why would anyone do this?“ then proceeds to write incredibly long paragraphs with multiple statements wrapped into one, long sentence, using punctuation just to separate thoughts.
All this thoughtful and unambiguous use of punctuation builds in me the irrepressible temptation to foster uncertainty by ending this sentence with nothing but an emphasis
Hahahaha I like it.
And occasionally throw a ~ at the end of a sentence

Are you a Windows temporary file name?
That's some good nerd humor I tell you hwhat
Kind of just more evidence that reducing human conversation into writing is reducing human communication to at most a handful of perceivable factors instead of the countless ways in which humans (and animals in general) communicate.
In other words, if it wasn’t already obvious the internet is corrosive to humanity.
I agree that text is poor in conveying intent, tone, etc. but text predates the internet by... at least a couple years (I'd have to check)
The oldest written text I've found in three seconds of research in contained in this ancient meme, which is believed to have originated in the early days of the internet. So while it's not enough to disprove your claim, it seems to suggest that text and internet actually started roughly at the same time, possibly building on top of each other.
See this is why I love Lemmy. There's always an academic around to point you in the right direction. Cheers !
Actually the internet supports audio and video. If anything that's evidence that newspapers, books, and really everything before TV and radio is corrosive to human communication. Well that and text based forums like this are corrosive.
Just because a medium isn't perfect doesn't make it corrosive. The problem here is the way human brains deal with things, not the things themselves. TV and video also cause loads of problems, because people treat them as too real. It's a balance really.
TIL every great work of literature is corrosive to humanity. Guess I’ll burn my bookshelf.
I got called out for sending just "ha" too much.
I'm the exact opposite. I respond with "ah" a lot.

I feel seen! And I don't have a problem with it. It's fine. I like writing this way!
i only use the exclamation mark for happy birthday and congratulations
It is your birthday.
Happy birthday,
I dislike this
This is the house style at my job too
