Very unique and unpopular opinion, I know, but I hate watching ads during a show. Fuck the advertisers; I refuse to pay attention.

Rather than doom scroll, I’d love to hear what you think I should do when ads are on.

To make things challenging:

*often I’m pinned to the couch by my senior dog who I’m loathe to move unnecessarily, so getting up and doing squats is often out

*loud activities are probably out, see above

*be specific, ‘I play games on my phone’ - but what can you play casually, for 30s at a time (for example) and then happily go back to watching your show?

*use adblockers bla bla, not always possible and not in the spirit of my request.

That being said, all suggestions are great - I’m sure we’ll all get something from it. Stick it to the man!

Do the dishes. Make it a challenge, you touched the lava floor if you dont finish in time so take on only what you know you can squeeze in just in time

Drink water and walk around your living room. Stay hydrated and get a little exercise in. I also sometimes play mini crosswords because they can be done in less than a minute. Shoutout to !crossword@lemmy.world.
