Planet of the Apes

Whatever happened to modesty? How about privacy? These qualities simply do not exist anymore here in America. Everyone shows everything that once was considered private, and not just to a few people but to the entire world, or at least anyone who is on Facebook or TikTok. This might be the reason why I feel slightly nauseous all the time: Other people. 

Just now I logged on to my Facebook account and instantly saw a video of a skinny young woman in her underwear showing the large stitches on the inside of both of her thighs, explaining how "Most of the swelling has gone down" from her recent surgery for God knows what, I didn't stick around to find out. What I wondered is -- who cares? Why do we, or me specifically I, need to see that? 

Is Facebook now also an anatomy class in med school? What's next? Will people start posting photos of their bowel movements floating in a toilet bowl for praise or diagnosis? When will the downward slide of humanity? And how? Will we go back to being apes, or all the way to primordial slime?  (Personally I have met many people who I'm pretty sure are already primordial slime.)
