Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

    Doom scrolling short form video.

    My dad does this for hours per day after work and nothing else, and now it seems he’s lost all his critical thinking completely and is commonly disregulated, and I’m kind of afraid he’ll get more forgetful and erratic, since he’s already showing signs of slipping into Alzheimer’s.

    Standing at a register for check out. Mostly a US thing from what I’ve heard. It’s wicked bad for you.

    Oh and AI sucks ass and you’re a bad person if you use it.

    Isolate themselves to mostly just their phone and the façade world that exists within.

    Things that could be harmful but we don’t know for sure yet?

    Possibly porn. Currently we really lack research on porn’s effect on people. Whoever tells you confidently it’s normal or degenerate is a liar. No one knows. We are just running a society-wide experiment in real time.

    All the harsh, cancerous chemicals you or your neighbors are pumping into your lawns and the city is using on the public parks you take your kids to.

    Believing they’re well informed because they absorb just enough information to make a value judgement. The more you train yourself to process the world in that half-assed way, the more you’ll run your life like that.

    5 day work week. Always seemed odd to me as a child and now that I’m seeing how broken a lot of retirees in their 50s and 60s are it’s pretty clear to me that it’s a terrible idea.

    definitely AI, so many people are dependant on it, and it even shows that it degrades peoples education as well. ruinings peoples future career/layoffs too.
