Only Boomers use it.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Injecting bleach and putting sunshine in my ass is my god given American right!

The practical problem is that during a pandemic, the hospitals could end up being flooded by morons when medical resources are already strained. I don't care if morons off themselves in their own backyards, but if they gum up shared resources, it's a problem for non-morons also.

As far as the source of the bleach/light thing, see this hilarious voice-over.

Addendum

This rule may only apply to posts having at least say 50,000 viewers. The content hosting service would be required to review such. This way "casual" posters don't have to be harassed.

While I'm against direct censorship if medical BS, I believe certain disclaimers should be required by law if relevant.

Example:
"The Covid vaccine makes your ears fall off according to Dr. Zim. Disclaimer: Dr. Zim is not a vaccination specialists, and a majority of vaccination specialists many not agree with Dr. Zim's claim. The sponsor of this message has not conducted a formal survey of vaccination specialists."

This allows one to make their claim as long as the claim's relationship to the medical establishment is clear. You might think the medical establishment is rigged, and can publicly say so, but at least establish to the reader it's not "kosher" and/or verified with the establishment.

The AI bubble is probably slower to pop than the dot-com bubble because it's mostly large multi-product companies that are receiving the most investor money, and it's hard for outsiders to tell what's really happening inside. Via bundling, freebies, and multiple accounting shell games these companies can doctor their AI revenue to keep investors duped.

And if they lay off staff due to lower general revenue, they can claim it's just AI replacement. Without embedded insiders familiar with inner workings of a co., it's hard to check.

Whenever somebody looks into details, they rarely see good signs.

With dot-com bubble, most the relevant companies were single product/service startups, so it was easier to see if they can support themselves. They couldn't hide bad products behind good products.

After the AI poppage I suspect there will be big investor/shareholder lawsuits over the hiding.

That would make business travel confusing. Some will be using analog clocks or clocks without software updates and enough will be late to be a problem.

Careful how you read that.

or is it hardwired to one speed?

Slashdot needs a diversity program to bring in more non-white bigots.

But there can be incentives to keep using public transportation and car pooling.

As I mentioned elsewhere, they have to rely on coal to a degree because they don't have many oil deposits. During a war or international emergency they could end up fuel starved without coal.

We'd do the same in their position.
