Good, you don't need smart phones in school

For anyone screeching that you do: No. You don't.

We've been without smart phones for millenia, literally, and we were fine without. You will be fine without.

we didnt have clean drinking water either, or daily showers, we lived without soap for millenia

Lol, we definitely have had clean drinking water for far longer than we have had dirty drinking water, thank the industrial revolution for that. And try skipping a shower for a day - you'll be fine. Soap also has a long history https://www.soaphistory.net/soap-history/ over 4000 years

So literally wrong on all three points. Perhaps you need to read more instead of doom scrolling and swapping nudes on your smartphone

"So literally wrong on all three points. Perhaps you need to read more instead of doom scrolling and swapping nudes on your smartphone" This made me feel like I was on reddit not lemmy lmao

Old habits die hard. But the most teenager comment I have seen on lemmy needed a rebuttal
