Totally! I mean I got my first gaming console with 5 years old, a N64, but I always handled it as a bad weather free time activity like building legos. I don’t think that, with today’s games and their overstimulating nature, children won’t be treating them like that.

"I was hiking across the country to find my inner self“

I was 2 years "too late". I had an extra test in accounting to determine if I were allowed to attend the finals. It was only then that I understood a subject I didn’t understand for the whole time at college. I got an A on that test and crushed the finals with a B.

Well actually it’s to do something with the stock market and I think the 70s or 80s where they (the money hungry should-be-deads) ditched a law that was implemented during the Great Depression to never have something like that ever again.

Well, guess what! I’m currently living through my 3rd or 4th economic crisis 👁️👄👁️

A lot of epileptics are gonna have a very bad time

This is something I don’t like - calling the viewers "chat". I mean, it’s gender neutral, but I’d just randomly call them Ladies, Gentlemen, Ladymen, Gentles, viewers, guys, gals, bros, sis’s, folks, roflcopters, grills…

I’m no streamer btw. Maybe I‘d just get skibidi cancelled lol xD

Ah yes, the Portable Monitor - the Pornitor

Bro you are so hip that your rizz is higher than the Empire State Building.

As long as I’m not too horny to sleep and too sleepy to masturbate, I’ll masturbate.

I turned 30 half a year ago. I was a gamer all my life (got my first console with 5 that forced me to learn how to read). We got our first internet connection in 2003 or 2004, where I spent hours on blogs and such. I got addicted to Minecraft from 2012-2013 and to YouTube from around 2013 until 2015, but it was long term content back then, like 30-60 minute videos of full concentration, multiple videos on the same topic. I got fit and a gym rat from 2017-2019 (switched to iPhone), then I got the Samsung Fold and the android ecosystem made me game more again (emulators, docked on tv, mostly rom hacks). Then I got back to iPhone and with the loss of gaming I got social media addicted. First Reddit, which wasn’t that bad, but after the API-changes I ditched it and short form video content filled my free time. I got into meditation, more specific the focus on my own body, and somehow didn’t feel the need for those videos anymore. But when I failed a test at work, it broke me and since then I can’t get into meditation anymore. Heck, I‘m spending about 3-4 hours a day on short form video content…

Edit: my SIL is 20 years old and experienced fhat right after school. Gotta need to ask my cousin, she‘ll be 13 this summer

Yes. It is due to doomscrolling and such. Our minds can’t create new memories, because it needs at least 15 seconds of mental concentration on a single topic to do so, so it all just blends together. We also receive a month worth of new stuff in a single day, this overloads our brain. Most people who weren’t addicted to TikTok before COVID but then got caught in the TikTokification of everything else feel a strong cut between pre- and post-COVID.

I for myself have this half year last year where I meditated daily and did not use my phone besides gaming, chatting, calling and hobbies that feels like an eternity. I want to get back into that mindset but so far I’ve failed horribly.

We here in the Apple Garden know that Apple takes all our usage data and trust then that they are used anonymously. But Apple has no access to data when it is encrypted, they even warn you when you encrypt your data that you need to safe the keys yourself, they can only delete everything if you lose them.

I was in a similar situation, but I got a MacBook M1 for literally everything but PC exclusive gaming, and I kept my gaming rig dual booting windows (on the HDD) and Pop!_OS (boots automatically, saved on SSD).

Why did I get a MacBook? I just wanted it. I‘d probably throw SteamOS on the gaming rig one day and use steam-link with an Ethernet cable to stream the games to the MacBook.

And yes, Linux is really easy to use nowadays. I’ve been thinking of throwing a lightweight distro onto my parents laptop. They only use Firefox so they won’t even notice it lol

The problem isnt the processing, the problem is that making a giant pile of home made chips is hard and time consuming so you probably wont

This is it exactly! Look at noodles! I consider them processed food, and since I got a noodle machine (non-electric) I don’t eat them as often as I used to.

Even if you got the flour at home, it’s still very time consuming. you would think twice if you just throw some potatoes into boiling water or if you risk making your kitchen dirty while hand-making noodles.

Bro they are just making sure that the zombies don’t rot too fast 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🧟

In my honest opinion, processed things are things that are, through scientific methods, made to be addictive. Like Pringles having the perfect crunch or different chemical compounds of Red Bull (color spot on the bottom). I don’t count cured meat as processed, but I have a hard time calling a pound of deli ham anything but processed.

I‘ve never been banned tbh. I keep my two remaining accounts for hobby and porn free of all things politics.

Nah thank you. Don’t wanna catch those nasty STDs.

I have iCloud premium, using safari and burner mails I can make however many accounts I like!

I’m still on Reddit due to my RC hobby. The community here is too small
