Not Lemmy. Not Reddit.

Oh you said normal people …
I’m not normal, but I’m guessing some mix of Instagram, TikTok, and Shorts. But, maybe there’s more casino / gatcha games, too.
How the fuck is anyone here supposed to answer that? There’s nobody normal here!
It is important that we observe humanity, that we may less noticeably walk in the midst of it. By comparing notes, we maximize our observations.
The way normal works, if everyone here on lemmy does something one way, then that becomes the normal. There’s no universal normal, because normal is always relative to context. The broader the context, then the wider and more diverse the normal becomes.
Or as my statistics professor liked to say “normal is a curve, get over it”.
Recently I watched a guy in a movie theater before the movie started fiddling with his phone. In rapid fire, he was scrolling Instagram, liking things and stopping on hot ladies. Switch over to facebook and quick scroll that. Send a link to a friend. Then doomscroll reddit.
I don’t think he stopped to read a thing beyond the headline except for boobs.
(Sam Elliott voice) He too is god’s handiwork.

wait…is this not how the internet is supposed to work?
I “Study”
I watch Tiktok or Youtube on skills I want to learn.
Cooking (mostly foreign or asian) or Nails, colors, tehcniques, etc.
You’re kookin’ at it. I have no time for the vapidity of Facebook, 'gram, Snapchat, etc. I only hit FB now for the messaging with my family and some short-reel dopamine.
Is anybody truly “normal?” Whenever I pick up my phone to waste time, I bounce between:
̶L̶e̶m̶m̶y̶ nevermind you said we’re not allowed to mention that
YouTube
Email
Excel spreadsheets
Amazon shopping app
VA app for appointment reminders, medical records, messaging with my doctors
Add a bunch of app to look for home properties or fishing spots and that’s me as well. Maybe add kindle app if I forgot the device home.
Normal people scroll social media. Instagram. Maybe buy something the ad tells them they need. Then send messages or videos to friends and chats. That’s about it.
I just started Dungeon Crawler Carl on my phone.
Mostly tumblr, Lemmy, reddit, and occasionally Wikipedia for me. Most people I know would be on Instagram, but I can’t stand it.
Short form videos and social media?
Many seem to watch short vertical videos of people talking to the camera about stuff I couldn’t care less about.
I have an ebook reader and I download epubs. I also have an audio book player so it looks like im working.
Read manga, read porn, listen to books, or music, sometimes watch porn
you read porn ? Don’t think I’ve ever tried this
Literotica.com is a pretty safe and minimalist place to go. You may even be able to still sideload their old app, though not sure if its up to date or if not. Enter at your own risk and learn the check the story codes if they are present BEFORE you start reading a story. For your own health and sanity.
You could also search for clitorides awards too
Thanks for the pointers !
Just don’t tell Violet…
Who ? the mysterious user that I heard people were suspecting of being a horny bot ?
You got it. It was a lame attempt at a joke sorry.

Dude, AO3.
Masturbating
Do you have a flared phone case?
Panem et circenses.
