3 to 4 year olds are still putting things in their mouth that they shouldn’t be.

In a village raises the kid scenario, there would be older kids and neighbors looking after the kid, presumably with good intentions since they are neighbors.

But in a world (the internet) where anyone from around the world can communicate any of their idea to everyone instantaneously, the village is no longer raising the kid, so village rules don’t apply.

Reminds me of the time I tried using pkunzip to expand a shareware demo and filled the C drive on accident.
