It’s 11pm. I’m watching a Netflix show about Jeffrey Dahmer eating a persons heart. My question is… what would I be watching at this time and of what nature would it be if this was 1972?

You'd be watching the 11 o'clock news. Followed by the National Anthem, then static.

Implication for society? I dunno that we have a lot better content to watch whenever we feel like it? Reruns of leave it to beaver and the Andy Griffith show get pretty stale.

I enjoy cheesy old sitcoms as much as the next person but much like how too much media consumption today is fucking with the minds of a generation television definitely left it's mark on the generation that grew up with that.

As much as I love to rail on the kiddies for being retards and needing to go outside and touch grass, the old fucks should also take that advice instead of sitting around watching doom porn on television all day and lamenting about how things were better in the good old days before engaging in some good old fashioned McCarthyism gossiping if the neighbors are evil white supremacist terrorists or child gobbling satanist gay unicorns in accordance with their favorite team colors.
