    I wouldn’t want to put the air intakes of my Thinkpad directly on the grass like that. It’s bound to suck in dirt.

    I honestly do not get why “touch grass” became a common phrase/meme around a decade after many people got mobile Internet access (through smartphones).

    Before that, it would have made sense because you’d usually only be posting on the Internet when you’re somewhere inside where there’s a computer; but now that we can literally be posting online while lying on grass?! How did this happen?

      I agree. It always seemed a ridiculous abusive phrase anyway much like “Wake up and smell the coffee!” People repeat these things thinking they’re clever.
