Comment on Minecraft confuses me
x00z@lemmy.world 5 hours agoa lot of kids end up messed up and addicted to screens
waking up like 5-6 hours before him so I’d get my fix every morning anyway
My point exactly.
after I got some D’s
What’s a D in internationally understood scoring? Like 40%?
That said, I stumbled into seeing DBZ hentai when I was like 8-9 on the internet. I did not let my parents find out precisely bc I was worried about them taking away the computer from me. I don’t think that meaningfully negatively impacted me either but obviously its hard to know.
What the fuck.

I mean, perhaps a bad use of word “fix”. Its not like I was endlessly doom scrolling or watching short form videos. I was mostly playing Halo, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, and GTA 3/Vice City. And when I was allowed to be play on the Xbox I had friends over and we split screened all the time. I miss split screen.
A ‘D’ is 60%-69%
lol I mean, that shit is happening way more frequently these days than they were back then. I was probably an odd one out in that age group in the late nineties seeing as the internet was still “a place you visited”.
I work in an after school program (one man IT department, paper pusher, and bus driver mostly) and there have been numerous times when its been brought to my attention that some of the kids had seen stuff they were not supposed to on the internet at home which they’d then talk about here getting themselves in trouble.
I once heard an 7 year old boy say loudly “I have a great sweaty gyatt!” on the bus, in a way that clearly indicated that he knew exactly what that meant. I decided to be lenient and told him that someone else had gotten written up for using that word around the youth counselors and that was my warning to him to not say it unless he wanted to get in trouble.
