Classic parenting advice—from social networks and apps
Turns out, some of the most common things your parents said could’ve come from the social media sites we frequent.
This got me thinking, what if social media platforms or apps had parents? What advice would they be given as they mature and find their identities? Here are a few classic lines, some slightly altered, that apply:
Vine
“I’m going to count to six … “
“If your friend retweeted every kitten photo, would you do it, too?”
“You can have privacy when you pay for your own home.”
Quora
“Answer me when I ask you a question.”
“Quit being so dramatic.”
