Better ways to waste time.

If I'm on the toilet not having a fun time, pardon me for wanting to see some cat videos instead of solving a Rubik's Cube, I guess?

You're pardoned, but I have much more fond memories of magazine baskets in bathrooms. Today you should at least have a Switch in there ;)

But also, of course people aren't just using these apps in the bathroom, they are using them everywhere. If they didn't exist, you wouldn't miss scrolling the bathroom.

The Economist app and Inoreader are higher on my front page than Instagram is, so I am being slightly tongue in cheek.

But I do maintain that there is a place for mindless time killing. Life is stressful, I'm constantly switching between different projects and responsibilities, and a few minutes of mindless scrolling is nice.

But it is very addicting and can very easily vacuum up many hours of time I can't get back.

Magazines are exactly the same type swipe-every-few-seconds crap.
