People have been sniffing glue, paint, petrol etc for a very long time and society hasn't collapsed. Society doesn't generally benefit from the contributions of the sort of people who do this kind of thing.

nitrous oxide isn't nearly as dangerous as glue, paint, or petrol

Which makes it even less likely that this would herald civilisational collapse.

my favorite signal to look for would be a large percent change in the rate of people having sex. if it changes rapidly in either direction that's dangerous

Everyone points at Japan for this one but I honestly feel like they are trying their best

I always liked the smell of gas and Elmer’s glue. If it was safe to huff I probably would.

Just having a bit of fun with this article. Imagine your in the early 1900’s and time traveling to present day and reading this article 😂. BTW I have genuine hope for the future.
