No, I'm banned from every social platform because I tell landlords they deserve the guillotine when I see them gloating in threads. That pretty much settled my doomscroll addiction.

My habit is opening up Hexbear and posting random words
Saying piss and poo over and over isn't random. 
Get an infinite set of monkeys to type an infinite set of random letters, at least one of them's gonna say piss and poo over and over
Like monkeys are real. smdh.
Prove it, i have an infinite set of monkeys in my garage but I'm seriously lacking in typewriters or word processors
Yes it is! 
you can't prove it isn't
I think you'll find I have all the evidence I need at the bottom of this bathtub.
Check modlog for drama (why do I do this?!?!??
Ok, Iโve caught myself doing this but only during some truly dark periods lmao This is when you throw your phone out the window and read a book
I'm just generally bad about hopping between hexbear, reddit, and twitter. Bluesky sometimes, but that's mainly just libs congratulating each other about how cool bluesky is.
ADHD meds help me w this
But I am doing it now so
You reminded me to take my vyvanse thanks.
Usually at some point I end up checking the news thread, get really depressed, and that stops the spiral.
Heaps of respect to the news threads peeps, but their convos are often intense af. Like:
poster 1: I can't believe that Slovenia would import the F-21s
poster 2: No they were actually unporting F-23s [links 4 different sites to prove it]
poster 3: No you're both wrong. Slovenia is just in your imagination. [links detailed Telegram thread which proves their point inconclusively.
poster 1: I am ashamed to call myself a leftist. I will deny myself food for 3 days as punishment.
poster 2: [deletes account to join a monastery]
Tagline material right there.
Damn, you're kinda selling me on the news mega...
For somebody who claims not to read the news thread you've got the most accurate read on it
Half a year ago I turned off my YouTube view history, which severely hinders their algorithm and makes it a lot less efficient at making you watch endless trash. This has not done anything to stop my spiraling depression though

I have never had a Twitter hahaha quiver before my might
News thread has a ton of posts to consume, you're leaving slop on the table here.
So i do the hexbear loop until I'm convinced there's nothing new to see and nobody replies to my comments, causing me to escape the loop with this process

Open the one idle game i have on my phone to buy upgrades
-
Open pokemon tcg live even though I know my phone will freeze during a match. Phone freezes during a match causing me to stop looking at my phone
-
Idk pretend to work for a bit until i get bored again
I deleted TikTok from my phone. I go for a while without it and it's not painful to stop, but when I have it I take forever to get up in the morning
Does Grindr count as social media?
Uh, asking for a friend.
Recently I've taken to just idly browsing secondhand and auction sites to look at funny vintage clothes and the weird phrasings people come up with.
Lots of what I assume to be attempts at gaming search results by typing "BRAND NEW VINTAGE/ANTIQUE" in the title and shit like that.

Don't usually get bored, usually read a bunch of reactionary sites like 
to get my blood pressure going (its either that or caffeine) if I'm having a groggy slow morning and to figure out chud/lib trends since its a matter of time before I read something that makes me wide awake with 
. I like to read here or Lemmy when I can as a winding down sort deal.
