It was Funny / Cute the First Time

But… how many times can you see someone you (barely) know on social media with a dog nose and ears filter, or someone repeatedly drinking (then undrinking) a beer in a boomerang video?

I should be sleeping tbh, but instead I’m endlessly scrolling this sort of disposable and useless content. This is what many of us do with (way too much of) our time now .

Back in my day we used to get drunk & listen to Nirvana for fun, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! 👴🏻😄

Seriously though, something is not right with this. I’m certainly think (& hope) I’m not going to look back on my life when I’m 80, reminiscing with old friends: ‘remember all that time we spent scrolling Facebook on our phones in our 20s & 30s? Remember that dog nose filter on Instagram!?’

Time to get a life! (and get some sleep)
