We're DINKS! We can eat food!
ha ha ha childlessness is so fun let us laugh and play
The worst social media trend in the history of the universe, including all future time that has not yet arrived but may eventually spool out into existence if the sun doesn’t explode, is the one with an endless parade of inexplicably smug young adults explaining how much better life is for them as DINKs — couples who have a double income with no kids.

We’re DINKS, so we eat in restaurants! We’re DINKs, so we’re able to travel! Who wants to tell them? If you actually managed to watch that for the whole 45 seconds, note that this healthy young couple is proud that their childless existence allows them to still have sex…three times a week. I’m biting my tongue so hard it’s bleeding. Never doubt those news stories about declining testosterone levels.

A burning sharpened stick.
Damn gurl our life is a PARTY now!

The hot new future is nothing. The mass culture of 2030 is here with a message, riding a motorcycle and speaking with an Austrian accent, and it would like to say that TURN BACK DON’T COME HERE. Decline. Make your own.
Viewing these self-obsessed posts, any observer from a different, healthier, saner civilization would immediate note the main unspoken message: “We’re so EMPTY that the only way we can feel CONNECTION is to film and post our mundane daily habits, hoping to get LIKES.”
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Literally about to have our fifth kid... my husband and I pity these foos.
