This may come as a surprise, but there was a time when people didn’t pause outside every building they visited, photograph it with their phone and upload the image to Facebook with the words, “Guess where I am?”

Few realize, but social media is part of a CIA-sanctioned plot to lower standards and dull sensations ahead of a full takeover by the Pod People from Invasion Of the Body Snatchers. When creatures from another world replace monosyllabic idiots whose only function is to post funny cat photos, nobody will be any the wiser.

And that’s not being overly harsh: according to a study by Union College in New York, heavy Facebook users are more likely to be insecure and narcissistic. A lack of likes and comments is enough to drive them to despair, causing the rest of us to wonder why they didn’t just leave the house and speak to another human being.
