  • Not just that. Here in Greece, a decade ago at least, Facebook had a separate url (I think 0.facebook.com, instead of www.) which you could connect to even without having paid anything for mobile internet, completely free.

    Facebook had a deal with our national provider to keep that connection free, for the cheapest, student-targeting plans specifically.

    Many students, very often of junior high age, that had their own phones (not even necessarily smart phones), even when they didn’t have money for data, they were using Facebook. And only Facebook. Children growing up confusing “the internet” with Facebook, and being on it for loooong hours, even before we all got immersed in our phones 24/7

    I bet they’re doing something similar, making Facebook dirt cheap or free, to get poor nations hooked.

    Oversimplification:

    Sugar gives depression after half an hour.

    More Complex carbs make you lethargic.

    Fats wake you up and give you energy for some time.

    Hormones in the human brain be wack so take these with many grains of salt, but they work as a rule of thumb, and help you start to pay attention to what your food does to your brain specifically.
