Happens about 20mins after I wake up.

Random npc spongebob fish character looking miserable holding a cup during a sunset and another overlayed image of the same guy on the left with the same look.
It is captioned with:
When you already checked your usual 5 apps and don't know what else to do with your day:
Rss and Rss and just Rss
[Got this post from there as well)
I see you are efficient by using only 1 appπ
Nice

Btw is Image transcription AI generated or you did it.
I did it, but it's my first time doing itπ
Should I change something? (I think I put a lot of info that may be unnecessary.)
Naah It is great for differently abled people.
differently abled
Pro tip - "disabled" isn't a dirty word, please use it! π
Aw thank you. I that it's a thing people do here on lemmy so I thought about doing it too.
So are you people in this meme just on your phone all day looking at stupid phone apps? God, what a waste of life.
Smartphones are just boring little tools guys. Don't make it your life. Be a real nerd, get a PC, and surf the web where there are no limitations set by apps. Play some video games, look at porn sites, do some online shopping or whatever. If you're done with all that, go outside and ride a bike or something.

LOL right, tell yourself whatever you need to
My turn!
Self-centered with a superiority complex
Lol. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, and is based on seeing others as inferior
My boss doesn't approve of pron
For me my phone meme time is
Good example of why summaries and screenshots are important
Think of the poopers
Are you actually trying to start a phone vs pc debate? That's funny as hell.
Can I suggest sorting by new for your favorite communities? There are a lot of downvoters that have gamed the system.
If you forget about Lemmy, straight to jail. No question.
lemmy, im a content piggy. make more content for me to stare at blankly. thanks
I think this is a good opportunity to collectively discuss what is causing us to lead this lifestyle.
I had to move to a country with a more introverted culture than the one I grew up in (not the US), and I've struggled finding friends to spend my free time with so far, so I spend it on apps :-( They really are just a last resort and I'd much rather spend my time with actual people like in the olden days :-/
Awww, hope you make it eventually
Thank you, I'm trying to make it work out
sign up for a class/activity, wear a conversation piece.
Smart move the latter, ~didn't think it.
About the former, I recently realized in practice that it's important to pick up activities etc. that you like and that attract people you can bond with. For example I like weightlefting at gym, but I realized it attracts so many people with repulsive ideologies, while I tried dancing and mobility classes the same gym offers and the environment was much much better, I found many good people there. (I still do weightlifting though and I found some good people there too.)
Plus, voicing your opinions helps a lot to filter people (I'm struggling a lot with this though).
I honestly don't know if I'm ready to discuss this, yet.
That's ok.
Everything else requires effort.
Yes. I think what makes these apps appealing is that 1) they can be used unplanned and your time in them doesnt have to be structured, and 2) they can fill up an arbitrarily long or short amount of time.
Alright so let me begin,
I think a lot of it is a result of our capitalistic society squeezing as much as it can from us for profit
When I was a kid, I used to play video games while jumping around. I'd stand in front of the TV, bounce around, play Mario, run in circles. My parents didn't care.
At some point, society said that was weird, and I had a gaming chair?
Watching myself balloon (and already using a standing desk for work) went back to standing while playing video games. I enjoy it!
Chronic pain gang, rise up πͺ (or remain seated)
I'm just checking my social media apps for any new messages and maybe droify for updates. After checking them in the morning I kinda think to myself that now job is done and any more time I spend of my morning on them is kinda wasted. Checking social media from time to time and speaking with your friends seems kinda healthy, but doomscrolling is kind of a waste after a point (happens if I'm too bored to start my day).
The thing is, after I check all these, I might go in a loop due to boredom (boredom may have many many reasons behind it). When I have tasks to do or I'm in a period that my friends and I are busy, this is more intense. The phone is an easy and portable distraction. All these contribute to an increase of phone usage (currently I'm in one of those situations and phone usage has increased probably by at least 50%).
Then its timeto put down the phone/laptop/tablet, get up off your butt and move around. Maybe even do something while youre up
Eww gross but moving around can lead to death I watched a YouTube video on that. I'm not falling for that
Heres a little known secret: breathing leads to death. So stop it if you want to live forever
Lol, people here do a lot of assumptions. I typically do like ~9k steps each day, I spent a lot of time outside, go to gym etc. but 1)having hard tasks to do and 2)spending a lot of time alone (alone meaning without interacting face to face with real friends) for various reasons contributes to this.
Yep.
You play shattered pixel dungeon for the next 20 hours is what you do.
So you have five different apps to browse Lemmy?
I gave up conventional social media recently, and I do paid surveys instead. I made 225 dollars in four weeks.
What do you do paid surveys on?
I only do google rewards, but that's generally how I pay for any new apps I want.
Boredom breeds innovation. It's okay to be bored. In fact, I really wish our society would get "legitimately" bored more often.
