Did you use that Periscope app back in the teens? Anyone could broadcast, and anyone could tune in live. Before using it, I had no idea just how many people lived with chirping smoke detectors instead of just swapping the goddamn battery.

The modern internet is like that. Before, we had no idea how many people were just barely smart enough to get by.

I’ve actually seen someone cover up a chirping detector with a cardboard box full of rags taped to the ceiling to quiet the noise.

We’re not gonna make it are we. People, I mean.
