Not Lemmy. Not Reddit.
I’m not normal, but I’m guessing some mix of Instagram, TikTok, and Shorts. But, maybe there’s more casino / gatcha games, too.
I “Study”
I watch Tiktok or Youtube on skills I want to learn.
Cooking (mostly foreign or asian) or Nails, colors, tehcniques, etc.
Local current and future weather forecast
What plants do well in my zone this time of year.
Contemplate on getting another rain barrel
Read patch notes for whatever game I’m currently playing
Check forums for posts about patch notes complaints.
Plenty of proper games (read: not mobile games) have ports on lots of app stores, particularly deck building games. I’ve been playing Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Balatro.
They ask about normal people and Lemmings mostly answer about themselves. 🤦♂️
So, normal Lemmings?
This is a oxymoron. Lemmy is not mainstream media.
Normal is a baseline for a system. The average Lemming is an outlier by the fact that they are using Lemmy.
Exactly! Lemmings are very tech literate on average. And have different usage patterns than the average phone user.
Most normal people? Instagram, tiktok, facebook. Maybe twitter.
Yeah I used to go on the reddit app and now its just fb and insta
Play chess or read about history
Mostly tumblr, Lemmy, reddit, and occasionally Wikipedia for me. Most people I know would be on Instagram, but I can’t stand it.
How the fuck is anyone here supposed to answer that? There’s nobody normal here!
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”.
Read manga, read porn, listen to books, or music, sometimes watch porn
you read porn ? Don’t think I’ve ever tried this
Literotica.com is a pretty safe and minimalist place to go. You may even be able to still sideload their old app, though not sure if its up to date or if not. Enter at your own risk and learn the check the story codes if they are present BEFORE you start reading a story. For your own health and sanity.
You could also search for clitorides awards too
Thanks for the pointers !
Just don’t tell Violet…
Who ? the mysterious user that I heard people were suspecting of being a horny bot ?
You got it. It was a lame attempt at a joke sorry.
looks like we all suck at jokes this weekend
Dude, AO3.
YouTube. Also that stupid mobile Pokémon card game for like 3 minutes, twice a day.
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.
(Sam Elliott voice) He too is god’s handiwork.
I don’t think he stopped to read a thing beyond the headline except for boobs.

- Oh shit maybe I should actually do something
- Realize I actually haven’t taken the time to download anything beforehand

Neurodivergent? I am lol and this resonates. I write a lot more now that I have an ereader (that can also be a notebook!) I get it out rather than my phone sometimes and there’s less distraction on it. It’s either read, write or browse the bookstore 😅
Lichess best chess
https://lichess.org/ is great even on a computer, not just on a phone. I don’t play on my phone, but I do like to play from time to time on lichess :)
Reminds me of the days I wasted my whole afternoons on Wikipedia while at work.
I think you have ADHD, right?
Officially, no. I only have Depression and Anxiety.
Sorry to hear that, friend. ❤️
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.
Masturbating
Do you have a flared phone case?
