More Rules for seniors about reposting or forwarding email
Ten
rules to remind us (seniors) (and everyone else) not to repost or forward
without thinking about the consequences. Remember, the internet can be a wild
place, but a little caution goes a long way when it comes to sharing
and forwarding messages. Think before you click!
“The
Grandparent Golden Rule”: Before you share, ask yourself, “Would I
shout this in a crowded library?” If the answer is no, keep it to yourself
and your cat.
“The
Scroll Stopper”: If a post makes you cringe, stop scrolling and think
twice. Your scroll button won’t file a complaint.
“Meme
Majesty”: Respect the memes. Remember, not every cat photo needs a
worldwide audience. Share sparingly.
“Too
Many Cooks in the Inbox”: Forwarding emails? Just remember, you’re not a
chef, and this isn’t a recipe. Don’t overcook your inbox!
“You
Are Not the Weather Channel”: Sharing weather updates every hour won’t
make you a meteorologist. And your friends already know it’s raining; they have
windows too!
“Political
Paws and Claws”: Politics and social media can be a dangerous mix. Don’t
share divisive posts unless you’re ready for a debate at the family reunion.
“Quotable
Wisdom”: Be wary of inspirational quotes attributed to Einstein, Lincoln,
and Shakespeare. They didn’t say half the things they’re credited with.
Fact-check before you post!
“Catfish
Patrol”: If a stranger messages you
claiming to be a long-lost relative or a Nigerian prince, it’s probably not
legit. Don’t share your life story or bank info.
“Chain
Gang No More”: Break free from chain emails! Breaking the chain won’t
bring you bad luck; it’ll bring you peace of mind.
“Remember: It’s Not
1999”: Just because it’s an email forward doesn’t mean it’s true. Trust
your instincts, not your inbox.
