Something I've noticed is that a lot of people on the Internet end up incorporating really weird things into normal conversations, like using "ppl" all the time instead of people, or putting trigger warnings for literally everything. Why people can't just speak formally is beyond me.

Something I want to do is put trigger warnings for literally everything and see how people react.
I feel like the people reading that will be divided between laughing hard and hardly laughing
“ppl” because I'm either very tired and i don't wanna type or I'm lazy
trigger warnings are fucking important, not something to joke about. For example, people who lost rheir loved ones to suicide of course are going to be triggered bh the mentioning of self-harm

I mean, trigger warnings make sense, until you use them for things like bread, shovel, watermelon, water, fire, earth, wind. . . People use those in insane ways.
I've seen it before, it is definitely real and I can barely believe it, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it myself.
naw, that's really weird
however, some stuff, like Christmas and ice cream would make sense
(I'm actually triggered by ice cream)
I think it would be better for websites to usually include a way to blacklist words, so people wouldn't have to add trigger warnings, you would be able to control it yourself. Who knows if someone didn't think about something that somehow triggers someone else.
Also I have absolutely no clue what it is with ice cream. I can't even think of it, it's probably something very personal though.
Yeah, I understand it's possible for very specific things to trigger people, but it's a little bit silly for people to be able to predict these things. If people where to attempt to create trigger warnings for any potential triggers in their post, it would likely take up a good fraction of the post, using a beeeg amount of space. Perhaps this is why people use weird abbreviations to replace words, to save the space that they just used.
