a) He's right and you know he's right. Doomscrolling is not healthy and tech companies maximize engagement regardless of the addiction and mental health implications.

b) He was talking about the state of journalism and in that specific context what he said makes even more sense.

c) That epic sculpture he's sitting in front of is sick and looks like what a comic book corrupt cardinal would be sitting in front of while threatening batman or something.

d) Fuck the church institutions that cover up decades of abuse and horrible crimes.

This article is fascinating in its choice of headlines. It briefly mentions the headline quote, and then goes on to primarily talk about the number of journalists who were killed last year. It was just an article about a conference the pope spoke at, but i really thought it'd be about something else before i read it. Successful clickbait, i guess???

This is pretty off topic, but in traditional newspaperology headlines the story writers have no say in the headline. Headline writing is a separate discipline with specialized headline writers, because you have to carefully count the character sizes to fit the headline into the space.

This traditional art changed on its head when headlines online were no longer constrained by the page layout.

Of course, but it's entirely unrelated to the body of the article.

Idk, Christianity seems like much stronger brain rot.

Are scrolls more likely to promote brain rot? Why am I asking this question?!

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

He’s totally right. My attention span is shot. Need to take long breaks from scrolling to get it back.

That man isn't qualified to give medical advice.

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I legit had to look up if brain rot was a legit medical term.

I'm legit infected with brain rot where do i seek help

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Since rots are usually fungus seek out veterinary anti fungals

I find it hard to trust this source. This sounds like ai generated garbage when you listen to the voice in the video.

Okay, grandpa. Time to take off your pointy hat and lay down for your nap. You’ve had a big day!

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

I chuckle as I keep scrolling

And excessive blind fanaticism causes kiddie diddlers. Yet here we are.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 4 days ago

I think complex developmental factors create kiddy diddlers while heirarchical and "mandated" social structures give them the power and access they're really interested in.

Blind fanaticism is a separate problem.

I’d typically agree but since I’ve scrolled Lemmy and News (Apple’s news app) rather aimlessly for ~1 year now I notice a lot of people are behind or misled on a lot of topics. They’re usually stuck in an echo chamber but some just generally have lives to live offline.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Is that what's wrong with him? Dude is a nutter

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

What the hell is he sitting in front of?
