How did we get by without six hours of Facebook and Instagram?
Yesterday, I took a few hours off from social media to run some errands. It was tough, but I made it through. When I returned, I found a text informing me that Facebook was down. Phew! I didn't miss a thing!
Apparently the Zuckerberg empire was out for about six hours yesterday. How did we manage without pictures of babies, kittens and the lunches of people we barely know. How did we get by without the lies and misinformation about politics and vaccines?
By mid-afternoon, I wasn't sure how to spend all this free time. I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't know if I would survive. How could I go on without Facebook?
I made myself a little snack. Sorry, the leftover shrimp lo-mein from Sunday night wasn't pretty enough to be Instagramable. But that didn't matter. There was no Instagram. SIGH!
I decided to watch some news. Hey, a guy has to get his misinformation somewhere. If not, Facebook, then mainstream media will do!
Finally, how about a nap? When I awoke, Facebook was back on line. I was able to catch up on all things I was pining for in the previous six hours. Hey look....here's a picture of a cute puppy. Hey look...here's a story about the Covid vaccine making you sterile. Hey look...some guy posted a photo of an adorable baby wearing a jean jacket. Oh yeah, that was me.
It's a day later. Looks like we all made it through this latest nightmare. I gotta run and check out Facebook and Insta. Maybe someone posted a photo of their breakfast.
