    Love it. It’s true - imagine all the time we spend on these social media sites that we could use for better purposes. Writing books, drawing, setting things on fire. All the wasted potential!

      But instant gratification go brr

      Seriously though, the amount of people I ask “what kinds of hobbies do you have” and they reply that they don’t have any is honestly pretty sad

      There’s a lot of hobbies that you can get into for really cheap to free, they just spend all of their free time on social media

    We all have the same amount of time. But not all of us have the resources to become king, engage in war, trade with nations, and die in comfort.

    Yeah there is that instant gratification - the IG factor you could call it. It’s hard to resist! But I agree, people should have actual real hobbies, not just spend time trolling online. One of mine is writing, so replying to posts online helps sharpen my critical thinking in some ways. But I don’t spend all day on it. I have so many other hobbies that truly are rewarding, and don’t come with constant criticism and put downs from others.

    Oh well that’s different - you don’t wanna you don’t gotta. I use the “I don’t wanna” defense all the time.
