Ok, first, Daily Fail, so… yeah. Second, did they do the study by listing all these things, and telling the participants to rank them in order, or did they just call up and say “what would you say you couldn’t live without”, because then it doesn’t necessarily mean they actually put Facebook ahead of washing machines, it means they might have just stopped thinking of a washing machine as something they might loose, that it has become something they take for granted. And, given that “clean water” is only at #3, and fresh fruit and fresh vegetables are much further down the list, I’m kinda thinking it might be the second method. I mean, if you asked Americans what they couldn’t live without, most would probably not say “air/oxygen”, “clean water”, “nutritious food”, and “medicine”, just because that’s not how our dialogue currently works; our dialogue works by going “OMG, I literally do not know how I lived before Feminist Ryan Gosling”, because that’s how we give intense praise to something.
