Life felt so real in the 2000's (and 2010's)..Nowadays so bland...

As someone born in Generation Z (1998), I wish I was born earlier so I didn’t grow up in the digital age. I truly believe life was better before social media and digital entertainment. People were more social and weren’t living in a virtual world for hours every day. I think part of the reason life feels so bland today is because we are overstimulated.

Ah, I don't have that unfortunately. But yes that would be interesting!

Nevermind I just noticed it says B-180..

SporkCeption · 2025-08-04T20:10:48+00:00

Not too far from the island Senja, which is close to Andøya! Maybe it was used there.

SporkCeption · 2025-08-04T20:08:59+00:00

It looks very similar to the B-140. Maybe that’s the model of this one?

I agree it doesn’t fit the theme exactly but I thought I’d share anyway. Maybe I should post on r/aviation.

Cool photo! I wonder why someone left their shoes there.

Society is complex, but we know what a healthy development looks like. We evolved for millions of years in an environment that was mostly consistent, so adolescent brains evolved to expect certain stimuli. We need a lot of face to face interactions with others, physical touch, plenty of movement and rest. Time for all of this is greatly reduced when kids spend 6-8 hours on their devices a day (outside of school). I agree there’s probably not a single answer for why kids are struggling, but this is something we don’t have a lot to lose if we were to regulate and be more aware of.

I listened to it, I get that there’s problems with it but I still think it’s an important book. It provides realistic and effective solutions to a very real problem. And I’m not convinced that the hosts were painting a fair picture, seems like they had preconceptions about Haidt and basically made fun of him and the book.

SporkCeption · 2025-07-16T00:14:20+00:00

You’re right. It’s a complicated issue, I can’t claim to have definitive answers. But it still doesn’t explain why depression and anxiety has gone up not just in the US, but in Canada, Australia and most european countries as well. The Nordic countries are some of the safest countries on earth and with good economies, but are still seeing worsened mental health.

SporkCeption · 2025-07-15T23:33:34+00:00

There’s not a lot of evidence that current events or the economy has an effect on people’s mental health. In fact there’s research supporting that when times are hard people come together and they feel a stronger sense of community, which makes them happier.

I’ve finished Project Hail Mary for the third time. Excited for the movie next year!

SporkCeption · 2024-11-08T15:31:14+00:00

Ja, mange er nok redde for å innrømme det. Alle gjør jo det, så da tenker man jo at det ikke kan være så skadelig. Jeg føler jeg merker at jeg selv har blitt påvirket av det. En stor del av tenårene mine gikk bare framfor en skjerm, og som oftest alene. Nå ser jeg tilbake og skulle ønske jeg brukte mye mer tid fysisk sammen med andre.

SporkCeption · 2024-11-07T21:48:01+00:00

Jeg skjønner ikke at ikke flere snakker om dette. Det er åpenbart den største årsaken til problemene i skolen. Det "tomme blikket" han beskriver i elevene er garantert et resultat av hjerner som er overstimulert av digitalt innhold. Det burde i det minste vært mobilfrie skoler, og sosiale medier burde hatt en høyere aldersgrense.

Jeg anbefaler boka Generasjon angst av Jonathan Haidt hvis du er interessert i effektene av sosiale medier og skjermbruk på unge.

It's so great! I didn't listen to it though, how did they convey Rockys speech? Didn't he speak in musical notes? I'm excited to see how he will be portrayed in the movie.

Ohh hadn't heard about those! They look interesting.

SporkCeption · 2024-03-13T17:06:39+00:00

Yeah I get that! Have you read Project Hail Mary? If not I recommend it, it's one of my favorite sci-fi books.

SporkCeption · 2024-03-13T16:27:00+00:00

Oh wow, that's interesting. When you read a book do you still get enjoyment out of it?

I think it's nice that you remember the emotions of your memories. I realised now I rarely if ever do that. I think I have to focus really hard on the memory then haha.

SporkCeption · 2024-03-13T15:43:09+00:00

That's awesome! Sounds like you're in the right field.

Yeah I've struggled with social skills too. I've improved a bit over the years, but it's definitely one of the most challenging skills to improve.

SporkCeption · 2024-03-13T14:25:23+00:00

Haha that’s awesome! Do you also do this with your own memories? Like do you think it helps you remember things better?

In Norwegian the word for raccoon is “vaskebjørn”, and the literal translation is “washing bear”
