Here’s your heartwarming story about human contact in an age of the machines: a man called Tom decides to get a date offline, and makes a charmingly edited, eminently viral video about it (see below).
Actually he calls this his next date, because apparently at some point in life it’s not enough to get blasted on pints and try for a snog with that person you sort of like the look of and maybe there’s a thing there and well you’ll just press your faces together and see how it goes, but instead you have to go out collecting social interactions with people you don’t know on the off-chance you might find some kind of mutual attraction, and this is understood to be somehow fun and desirable rather than the obvious atrocity against happiness and ease that it actually is.
