As long as as humans haven't succumed to brainrot and still have capacity for math and logic, we can figure it out. It's encoded, not encrypted.

The classic problem of long-term nuclear waste warning messages is about conveying information over cultural barriers. This is a concrete data type, not interpretation of vague contexual meanings from pictograms. Math and logic don't change while cultures do. Images are far more retrievable than the meaning of an image.

I don't agree with porn as an example. It clearly isn't a social activity.

Alcohol on the other hand.. Haven't you heard that Gen z and younger have much lower rates of drinking? Social drinking is on the decline, and I argue it supports my theory. Their friends aren't drinking socially as much, so many don't either.

I don't think VPN are going to help much. Good VPNs are paid services, and it's kids under 18 we're talking about here. They would somehow need to maintain a recurring VPN subscription fee from their pocket money. Free VPNs aren't the same thing, they're usually exposed to steal data or other nefarious activities.

Platforms like discord and roblox aren't blocked because they're considered communication apps or games. Kids will probably just stay there.

I fully believe it will work. The point is not to make it impossible to visit, but very annoying to. I cannot forsee the average kid jumping through hoops to maintain access, especially when most of their and their friends accounts were deleted. Eventually, they'll realise there's nothing left to go back to. Social media lives and dies by it's number of users after all.

Isn't that just how you would've looked like if you were 30lbs lighter all along? The sagging skin is due to weight loss sure, but your bones definitely didn't change.
