Have attention spans dropped that drastically? Holy hell.

Absolutely. Many shows need to pad to 43 mins to fill an hour with ads, and it’s mostly wank

They have not. Media conglomerates take advantage of the fact that our surviving ancestors saw the suddenly appearing saber toothed tiger before the ones that didn’t.

I think that’s just depression. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.

That was pretty tongue-in-cheek. I assume we all are like that here

Wait, going to bed early is a sign of depression? Or the not eating part?

When you go to bed because the alternative is trying to force yourself to do things you once enjoyed to kill time

When you get into bed at 7 pm and don’t manage to get out of it till 11 am

When you don’t feel hungry but you haven’t eaten in a day or two and you know you should and people would want you to but you can’t bring yourself to go make or get it and not eating feels satisfyingly self destructive

Thankfully now I can be mostly asleep for 15ish hours, it was hell when I would go to bed at 7 to avoid existence and would wake up at 3

I should really just unalive myself and get it over with, things are worse than when I started drugs and therapy and there’s no way things are going to get better. Things don’t improve unless you improve them and I’ve tried and failed over and over

The best part is that both can be caused by depression!

I urge you all; just watch one screen. Its all you have attention span for anyway, and youre just gonna end up unsatisfied trying to do both at once.

If it’s a good show sure. Some shows are just so bad you get distracted.

Me but with audiobooks. I listen while driving home. A thought might distract me so I’ll hit back, only to get back on the train of thought while I wait for the audio to get to the part I missed. Only I’ll miss it again and have to hit back again.

Then you miss your exit but it’s too late to turn back now so you start your new life in a new country

Did that last night. Went from 11 minutes to home, to 25.

That’s why I can’t listen to audio books. Driving takes way too much attention. I have a set of driving podcasts which don’t need much attention and it doesn’t matter if I miss a bit

For me audiobooks makes the drive tolerable and enjoyable. I don’t find them distracting, rather I get distracted from them at times because of thoughts of work or needing to focus on dumb drivers around me.
