This really isn’t that functionally different from sotting down and watching TV
It is and isn’t. I think that TV, as a longer-form of entertainment, has less harmful effects on attention-span, for example.
Hearing kids talk about not being able to focus long enough to watch a movie or tv show is a bummer.
So what do you call it when older people do it, but the screen is further away (TV)?
not just gen z. that’s like every second or third day for me when my skeleton is like “fuck you old man, if you wanted to move now you shouldn’t have been a tradesman”
So, likely major depressive disorder? I’m not surprised. The future looks bleak.
And 20 years ago it was books, magazines, newspaper, gameboys, etc. Nothing has changed.
Apparently I’ve been 20 years ahead of the curve. I didn’t call it bed rotting (ew) I called it “fucking depressed leave me alone”
You’re such a hipster, I just call it being alive
Why isn’t GenZ participating in our accelerated hellscape?
GenZ are killing the Mr Bones Wild Ride industry
Genz is trying to what?
Man, I’m a fucking trend setter.
Isn’t this just called having a lazy morning?
Like you wake up but don’t feel like getting up yet, so you play about with your phone for a bit?
As long as you’re not doing that for ages every single day, I’d say it’s fairly normal behaviour. Sometimes you just need a bit to slouch you know.
No, they will get up and then go back to lay on their bed and scroll for hours
I’m pretty sure they are talking about doing this all day. It’s just a new name for major depressive disorder.
I just go back to sleep lol. If I’m too lazy to get up, I’m usually too lazy to go on my phone.
Back in my day, we just rotted in bed ruminating on negative thoughts. We didn’t have no memes, except what was in our imaginations!
We imagined our own memes, and we liked it.
Did you though?
Shower thoughts are imagined memes.
I think so. Dignified Boomers and Gen Xers perhaps “armchair rot” so as to mitigate back problems.
Isn’t that what they referred to as couch potatoes in boomer time?
Pretty much. Same shit, different corn.
Nah, I’m officerotting. Probably the only thing I’ve managed to do so far today is contribute to Lemmy network effect :P
My life in Infosec. It’s super boring until suddenly it’s not.
Kinds the days… are entirely relatable.
Throw in a couple of beers and that’s a perfect day.
I read “beers” as “bees” and was really confused. Although a few bees wouldn’t hurt as long as you don’t antagonize them.
You fucking psycho.
Think of how many times you’ll need to get out of bed to piss.
