    The Onion predicted this in 2014: &quot;Teens Migrating From Facebook To Comments Section Of Slow-Motion Deer Video&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a4mMY2Kl3GY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a4mMY2Kl3GY)

    Reminds me a little bit of the agent improvised coordination schemes.

      The Onion isn&#x27;t satire it&#x27;s just a dystopian Cassandara.

          Whoever downvoted this has no love of curiosity and doesn&#x27;t belong here.

            Why? We weren&#x27;t all taught Greek mythology in school, and there are plenty of other interests to explore thereafter

              Actually, no, my school believed in teaching us the mythologies of our own culture and those reasonably close to us. I didn&#x27;t properly study greek mythos until my own free time later in life.
