    People. What. The. Fuck?

    Why does everyone freak out about the adds and not the level of brainrot this is. Like how do you actually function in your daily life if you can’t stop watching content for a 5min shower? I have ADHD but I feel like I am amateur attention span issues and this is competitive ranked grand master attention span issues

    Yes I am judging and maybe even shaming you.

    Okay not shaming you because doing so is negative and I genuinely hope you get better if you have attention span issue. Smooches on you

      So I dont watch stuff in the shower but I do kinda HAVE to watch something to go to sleep. If I dont I cannot go to sleep or I sleep pretty bad because I kinda just go into a weird depressive mental state. I know its not good and it does need to be fixed. Im just currently NOT in a situation where I can get help on it so I use it to hold it as a temporary workaround for now. I do imagine other people have a worse version of this.

        Can I recommend some music like Sigur Ros or something instrumental that involves less bright light in your face hammering the part of your brain that controls the “its daytime, stay awake” response.

        I may be biased and ignorant cause I need pitch black and at most a fan one roon away to even run the chance of getting to sleep. Saying that if I have anything caffeinated after about 5pm I’m awake until 1am with my brain trying to make me kms, so I at least know how that one feels.

      Considering the phone is out of reach, it’s probably to listen to a podcast or music. Shower radios have existed for decades after all.

      I mean, I do it, but I also spend at least 2-4 hours outside a day without any input from my phone. It’s more like, “I’m watching an interesting video, but I also need to take a shower, no reason to not do both.”

      i feel like way more people should learn to meditate because this level of brainrot addiction is disturbing.

      Agreed. Also taking your phone to the toilet is gross and using it at the dinner table is kinda rude
