    Right? How fucking hard is it to just fucking google something like this, in this day and age? It’s not like the 80s and 90s where you had to call around to find information about something your kid wants. You can just look it up online, easily. Epitome of shit parents.

      Googling anything in this day and age can be pretty monotonous, with AI results and SEO garbage filling every page.

      At a certain point it should be reasonable to expect things that are sold to be safe without the responsibility of investigating every purchase like an archeological dig.

      Putting aside that the internet definitely existed in the 80s and 90s. That’s what magazines were for, that’s why there was a zine for everything.

        I mean, it wasn’t exactly widely available and the average household didn’t have Internet until the mid to late 90s, and a lot of times it was a shared line, so if Mom was taking to Great Aunt Millie for the first time in months, you weren’t getting online that night lol.
