Boomers are still alive, so literally all of the rules ever as fast as possible.
Special standout for "dont believe everything you read" - "Well fuck you Ill believe everything without thought"
the Internet never forgets
this one goes both ways, if someone is doxing you, it'll be online FOUR FUCKING EVER, but if it was a cool website/funny meme/ good software, it's probably on somebody's downloads folder, but it can easily disappear and you'll never see it again.
Then: Don't download applications and run executables you don't fully trust.

Been to the Arch forum too ey? :p
Don't talk to strangers.
Searching things is easy so don't post something without checking it. People now don't make the slightest effort to verify a rumor or conspiracy crap.
and, conversely, posting things you have "verified"
"You're wrong! I was able to prove it with a quick Google!"
