That article was so conflated and entirely waffle, I couldn’t read it. It doesn’t offer science behind brain rot. I think it’s ok for you to have an opinion for yourself on what brain rot is, absolutely, but when you start going warmonger on it, you should really make sure you have more science to give you an understanding and ability to communicate your opinions with more clarity.

There is science out there, but not in the way you might be thinking, based on some of your opinions expressed here. Brain rot isn’t going to be able to be avoided by curating the content, the effect of disassociation is caused by distraction, it could be argued any content caused that disassociative effect, which essentially sends your brain into a form of fight or flight, causing it to feel like it’s not safe to be here,( if I have to disassociate).

I don’t have any great articles to link at this time. But I would suggest it’s a personal balance thing. Taking the time to limit the time you spend on the internet, yourself personally, and just taking a moment to exist, just breathe and be, where you are, right now.

The more engaging and interesting posts will naturally float to the top. Maybe, you need to change your settings, or the app you use to engage if you are getting fed with everything as its first posted. I noticed an entirely different experience going from boost to voyager app.

This place isn’t about one person deciding for everyone, what is and should be, the antithesis of that is why this place exists, and I’m sure you’re noticing, you don’t have many people who agree with you. Maybe Either your delivery needs to change, when discussing your opinion, or your opinion itself, might need some expansion and nuance.

This is what my brain imagines when I think the word puggle.

Different phases (colours of light) move at different speed, and have different longevity, I think. So how they always thought those pretty galaxy nebula photos, were red? Actually turns out that phase of light just travels for a longer time. Lasts longer. OK, now someone correct me, because I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. Just bring up vague floating memories from an article i read once.

And she got bitten because she took her glove off.

Makes sense, it is a constant in all the timelines.

I’m using boq and up, for ethical reasons, but I haven’t looked into their privacy or compatibility.

Does anyone really believe it was ever about protecting the kids? I thought it was super obvious it’s about mass surveillance. It’s so they can link a database of *exactly who is saying what. And then do something evil af with that info, yeah? It’s just being poorly framed as “protecting kids” so no one can object, then they look like they don’t “care about kids”. Even though there’s so much proof it doesn’t help kids. What would help kids is parents who are able to be with their kids, rather than have to work fingers to bone to just scrape by. They could do information packages for parents, informing them of the risks and how to mitigate, as has been done before. This empowers no one, even if you believe their whole diatribe.

It’s multiple boats, from multiple countries and locations on aid missions, all converging to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza. The Italian dock workers have threatened to shut down the entirety of Europe if their boats or any boats in the flotilla is fired upon. Which will be interesting because that has happened, a drone has struck one boat so far, nobody has been harmed yet.

Same. I have to put snack foods in a bowl, I can’t eat them out of the bag or I’ll eat them all.

I’ve noticed sometimes I run to snacks when I haven’t actually drank anything all day.

I notice that if I eat a couple of pieces of fruit, I’m less likely to go overboard with other snacks, or even feel like snacking a lot. I have no idea what that’s about. Do I then snack on fruit at least once a day? That sounds like the smart option, but no. I try. But I’ve also gotta be in the right mood for a food, and I get a bit sensory about fruit sometimes. It also has to be zero effort, sometimes I don’t even have the energy to get into the fruit. Sometimes food has to be hand to mouth, no other effort or I won’t eat, but I will walk to the fridge and open it a thousand times, hoping it’s refreshed and stocked differently since last time. Which is more effort than just bloody cutting up or cooking the food! I think that’s when I’ve left it too long to eat and gone into deficit of energy.

I started making a banana bread with blueberries on top and adding a couple of different fibre and protein powders. And then I cut it into little squares and I can eat it cold from the fridge or warm it up, it’s zero effort all week, after making it… Which I rarely do because effort.

I’ll get there. Gotta keep plugging at it.
