Internet traffic is not the internet. Thats like saying cars and trucks are the highway. I can’t believe I have to dumb this down for you, but here goes: T highway is that asphalt thing that sits on the ground between two places, right? And cars and trucks are the things you drive on the highway. So like, in terms of emissions, the highway isn’t producing all those nasty emissions, the cars and trucks are. So if you don’t like those nasty emissions, you can regular the cars and trucks, but the highway isn’t at fault. You could reduce the emissions of the vehicles, replace the cars with more efficient busses, you could even just ride bikes on the highway if you really wanted to. But all these things are separate from the highway itself, see?

Just because you don’t understand how any of this works doesn’t change the fact of the matter which is that the internet is not taking your drinking water.

i don’t care about fucking semantics, life must be complicated for you if you are this hung up on literals

it’s amazing you can be so close as to use cars and highways and yet be so damn blind to history and the parallel implications

This isn't about semantics, you're just a dumbass.

Yeah, exactly. Not a single thought in your brain.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

because arguing with you is a waste of time

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, you really are wasting your time by spouting so much nonsense
