One of the biggest problems with the modern Internet is that it shows people stuff they were never supposed to see.
Before the advent of smartphones, social media, and the dreaded algorithms they brought forth, it took actual effort – or a late-night chain email from an uncle – to find and locate online thoughts, images, and videos to hurt or offend your brain, or give you a glimpse into a strange lifestyle and culture that you never knew – or even desired to know – existed.
I was reminded of this a few nights ago when I pulled up Xwitter and saw a video from a Tulsa area QuikTrip making the rounds.
