Sometimes your brain needs a break from work and a dopamine novelty hit will get you back on track.
Feed apps have a random chance of giving you the dopamine novelty hit, but it’s pretty small, and usually it’s not a very good one. But our brains are trash at randomly sized rewards - that’s why people get addicted to gambling and gacha games - so you’ll unthinkingly go check one of those trash fires to look for one.
Once you recognize that’s what you’re looking for, you can go get it somewhere that’ll actually give it to you. Which doesn’t have to be something profound or classy, it can be watching an old episode of The Muppets or Dragonball Z Abridged or a cute cat video or solving a sudoku.
Often you’ll get halfway through whatever that is and feel kind of bored of it - the scrollers have trained you that means to go back to searching, but that’s actually your signal that you’ve gotten what you needed and it’s time to go back to work.

Owl [he/him]@hexbear.netto chat@hexbear.net•Could someone explain the cliffnotes on "vtubers", and the hatsune blue haired person??/mascot??/brand??, and whether they are related?English17·6 days agov-tubers are a kind of animated avatar that people use on streaming platforms; places where you’re sort of expected to have a webcam showing your reactions, but you don’t want to because you’re [trans and dysphoric, afraid of openly being a girl on the internet, shy, actually a dragon deep down, some other valid reason, or even an invalid reason because who cares]. They work various ways; some make the avatar try to map to what you’re saying, some puppet it from keyboard controls, some try to match it to a webcam’s output, whatever.
Hatsune Miku is a rubber band ball made of memes. There was a corporate mascot at some point, but tens of thousands of people have made her mean whatever they want her to mean, building layer after layer of conflicting meanings, until that’s all there is. She’s just Hatsune Miku.

I think the first person actually wanted to say something like “my ADHD is making it so hard to pick a Halloween costume this year,” but they’re so twitter-poisoned that they have to turn it into a universal experience, assume the existence of an existing discourse around that experience, and imply a societal failing.
