Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at.

I do find that when I am scrolling and don't want to be anymore...

Really questioning whether I'm enjoying any of the content I've just seen does help.

So as an example, so I was on a good run because you can be on a good run with social media where you're getting video after video that's actually quite delightful.

And then I stopped it when I saw this video of kids crying

plucky little kids wearing mustaches and saying, I love wearing a mustache.

And I was like, what the f*** am I doing with my life?

I thought it was going to be way worse than that.

That was enough.

That was enough.

That was your wake up call.

Exactly.

That was it.

Thanks, Meryl.

Thanks, Wendy.

That's Science Versus.

And if you try any of the stuff that we've talked about on this episode, you put your phone in grayscale, you download an app that has a little nudge, you watch a dumb video that you despise and then you throw the phone in the bin, please let us know on Instagram.

We are at science underscore VS. I'm on TikTok at Wendy Zook and we love to hear from you.

Meryl, how many citations are in this week's episode?
