Do teenagers not shovel snow anymore?

I grew up in Connecticut, where we get quite a lot of snow, and it was my job to shovel the driveway in the morning. Today, I'm still kind of a shoveling fanatic.

#TIL: Although the Times Square ball drop dates to 1904, the tradition of counting down to 10 when the ball hits the bottom only dates to 1979! Before that people sometimes counted down a few seconds until the ball started dropping. Weird.

My wife was just telling me about trend on Facebook reels of #AISlop videos showing a child separated from its mother and then there's an explosion…

What does crap like this do to people?! It's terrible for their psyche and has to affect their world view and politics…
