Dopamine Detox is for MORONS.
Nov. 8th, 2025 10:04 amPeople keep jib-jabberin' about leaving Social Media behind for better mental health & productivity, but no one talks 'bout it being the most lonely experience you can ever have.
I'm not joking, dudes! I think a lot of the discussion 'round social media addiction and dopamine detox as a whole is so severely lackin' in the actual truth that I gotta spring up from my chill-sesh to chit-chat with ya 'bout it.
This is more of a ramblin’ account, but I just wanta get this out there.
If you, by miracle, haven't been subjected to, like, the abomination that are the videos 'bout Dopamine Detox (and by extension Social Media Detox) then consider yourself a lucky dude, my friend. Those videos were a heap-load-a-bullcrap! That's right, a red alert on the lame scale by a mile. If y'trust my judgement I can tell you that disguised in all the (misleading or fake) pseudo-science they tried to shove into ya there was this workhorse mentality and alarmin’ culture of, like, working all the time and being productive even in your downtime. So, instead of one soul-crushin’ nasty habit y’gotta develop a whole ‘nother one called WORKAHOLISM ‘cause apparently that one is more socially acceptable and great for our capitalists overlords. Major bummer, dude. Like, that’s great, now y’gotta peel out from work and hurry on back home so ya can become a slave to endless productivity goals and have no time to ponder whether or not this is a lifestyle worth livin’ but HEY at least you got that slop-of-a-video done in record time so you can show the Youtube overlords how much their new system sucks.
Am I bein’ hyperspecific enough about this or am I still reachin’ too many audience members here?
Let’s actually get onto the topic at hand, ya? ‘Cause I feel like I’m totally losing focus here. So check it, among the many array of putrid slop that I combed through I had this new concept pop-up ‘bout living without social media for good of your mental health and all that bullcrap. I’ll give ya the skinny ‘cause I believe your time is precious enough.
Social media bad, touching grass good.
Listen, you’re goin’ to look at me and say “no actually, what’s wrong with that?” and I will hafta stop you right there ‘cause I’m not done with this story, dude! I promise you, I’m gonna make sense outta it.
