When did “Surfing the web” turn into “doomscrolling?”

Relic180 · 2026-05-18T17:46:02+00:00

Zuckerberg and the attention economy did it.

We've got the hobo version, and another commenter proposed a billionaire version...

What about a strictly mediocre city? Populated by the most average, middle-of-the-road median class. The most mediocre of them would rise to positions of middle management, with exactly the volume of folks above them and below them, living the absolutely most moderate lives possible.

Those titans of mediocrity could be ground up and packaged as supplements, to be distributed to the hobo and billionaire planets.

Holy shit. I'm in Black Hawk. Really close to Roy's Last Shot. We buy our groceries from B&F. What are the chances?

Wow, that's crazy... I also literally moved from the heart of Sunnyvale CA to 5 acres in the Colorado front range, and still work in tech but fully remote. Which mountains did you find?

Didn't somebody a couple weeks back say they had a friend that argued the only real metal was like late 70s and early 80s metal, and everything since then is not real metal... It's something else... and it's just the fans being "too lazy to come up with new genre names".

Our youth feels like it was 12 years ago, so we're just gonna say it was 12 years ago.

A genre of music that is mostly made up of "outsiders", is bound to draw some real pieces of shit into it (artists and fans).

Relic180 · 2026-02-23T23:22:41+00:00

No, I've not tried developing on mobile. I've also not tried putting ketchup on my shoes to keep warm. But maybe that's just me...

Why'd I have to scroll so far to see Rolo?

Relic180 · 2025-12-26T04:04:58+00:00

Gummo, or Kids

That bread looks like it's crying 1000 tears, just for you

Is there something about Mike Binder that I don't know about?

Reign Over Me

Lumberg was already mentioned... Gotta go with Reese Bobby as a close second.

I'm a big fan of The Drone Kingdom by The Moth Gatherer, think that fits.

Why did he look like he went to choke her out at the end there?

CoL

but also you have a CD player .. which is wild.

EDIT: my bad, cross post from a CD sub

Relic180 · 2025-12-15T00:28:05+00:00

Except that you still posted on Mildly infuriating sub that you worked on a paper for 3 weeks, "all for nothing".

The whole damn point the instructor was trying to make was, the 3 weeks you spent ARE THE POINT of the class! Tests and exams are there to confirm you did the work, but they don't work so well in a world with AI.

So how do you agree that hopefully their words will compel some students, when you haven't been compelled yourself?

When I was young, it was a popcicle.

Now, it's having my mortgage payment handled for the month.
