      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”.

    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.

    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.

    Weather, my hobby groups some of which I admin, email, looking up various parts and how-to’s for a car I’m working on, messaging, and occasional housecleaning of the phone itself - getting rid of unnecessary photos, email, SMS and all that.

    Before I had an existential crisis and lost my damn mind it was instagram, discord, and snapchat (literally for 2 people). Now it’s just Lemmy.

      I’m sorry if your friends hurt you. Me too. That’s why I prefer to have conversations with anonymous strangers. I’m done with real people.
