Internet Charades

A game where someone gets a person or group of people to guess what they're thinking of by using images instead of words to give hints.
A: "My friend is sending me pictures and making me guess what they mean"

B: "Oh yeah, they've always been a fan of playing Internet Charades"

Internal Aletheic Bioluminescence Proprium

Internal Aletheic Bioluminescence Proprium (IABP): The innate, self-sustaining ability to perceive, express, and embody one’s deepest truth. Derived from the Greek word aletheia (truth), the Latin proprium (representing the unique, intrinsic essence of an individual), and bioluminescence (the capacity for self-generated light), IABP symbolizes the inner radiance that illuminates and reveals a person's authentic self. It represents the unchanging core that is uniquely theirs, transcending external influences such as societal expectations, validation, or cultural norms. IABP is the luminous force that guides one toward the realization of their fullest potential, serving as a constant source of clarity and authenticity. It underscores that true expression and self-realization are rooted in an unwavering connection to one’s inner truth, independent of external pressures.

Internet Brain

A malady in which one enters a state of mind that recognizes the value of network effects but becomes unmoored from common humanistic principles lost in the contemplation of said network effects.

* Every idea is immediately productized into an app, site or platform
* Shallow rationalizations and/or detachment from the effects of ones own actions

Cures:
* Gardening

* Community service
* Mediation and prayer
Person A: Wouldn't it be cool if we did a stunt where we sold flame throwers to the general public?

Internet Limbo

When your phone is in-between WiFi and data and the signal is very poor.
Upon arriving home: "Babe, you're breaking up. I can't hear you... I'm in internet limbo. Let me get inside to get closer to the wifi."

Internet Trauma Syndrome

The chronic condition resulting from Internet Trauma, characterized by a pervasive distrust of digital technology, compulsive privacy-seeking behaviors (e.g., using burner phones, disk encryption, paranoia about cameras/mics), difficulty forming relationships due to fear of digital exposure, and existential anxiety about the permanence and searchability of one's identity online. It is the lived experience of having one's foundational sense of security and privacy irrevocably damaged by the networked nature of modern life, leading to a functional disability in a society that demands digital participation.
Example: A cybersecurity researcher who was doxxed and swatted by extremists now lives with Internet Trauma Syndrome. They physically tape over all device cameras and microphones, use a separate computer for every single online activity, employ complex voice changers on calls, and have panic attacks when required to fill out a digital form. Their expertise is in the very technology they now find terrifying. They are functionally disabled from participating in normal modern work, social, and civic life, not by a fear of the internet abstractly, but by the lived trauma of its predatory capabilities.

Internet Trauma

A broader category of psychological harm caused by experiences across the wider internet, not limited to social media. This includes exposure to extreme or involuntary content (e.g., stumbling upon gore, or violent extremist propaganda), catastrophic data breaches leading to real-world danger, intimate betrayal via leaked private communications, or sustained harassment across multiple anonymous platforms (forums, email, gaming servers). The trauma often involves a violation of the perceived boundary between the digital and physical self, and a shattering of the illusion of the internet as a "separate" space.
Example: A person's email and cloud storage are hacked in a major data breach. The hacker publishes years of private diaries, family photos, and financial documents. The victim is then blackmailed and harassed across unrelated forums by anonymous users who have pored through their entire digital life. The victim feels fundamentally "unhomed," as their most intimate self has been weaponized across the infrastructure of daily life. The trauma stems from the total digital violation and the feeling that there is no offline refuge left. Internet Trauma.
