This is the first sentence. Ohhh the danger of skibidi toilet!!!! So dumb. Who takes this boomer crap seriously? lol.
Bonus points for linking to their old (citationless) article about email. It just shows how they roll out this nonsense every couple years with the latest tech.
And if you browse through the actual studies mentioned, they don't actually say what this article claims. It's a conflation of "doom scrolling" (unscientific) with various internet addictions, etc. where the studies are fairly vague.
I hate it too. Kids have always had dumb media and that's fine. I don't think all those flash games and animations harmed anyone.
Yes, well, my spoon is too big.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!

While the article is crap, the phenomena of "brain rot" does exist. The brain is like a muscle in this regard; if you never challenge it, it deteriorates. There's even links to increased chance for neurodegenerative sicknesses in such cases. But we have this at least since TV, it's nothing new with the internet.
