i will start: if you have scrolling problem, watch reels on mute
reason: if you watch it with sound, you will discover music not by yourself (meaning algorithm will recommend it for you or you will find music/other content due to band wagoning [no individuality]) , because there is a common perception process that if you get recommended music by others you are more likely to not like it / get bored after listening it a few times

This has to be a shit post, right? Surely the advice to a scrolling problem is to… you know… stop scrolling, put the phone down, and go find someone to have a meaningful real life interaction with?
yes but you divide it into steps it is easier to solve
Maybe what’s needed is a “this is what I’d write on my blog if I had one” community to redirect people to when they try to wedge things in here by forcing their thought into the form of a question.
Exactly
I keep spreading this advice, as so many people seem to not know: Store your superglue in the fridge, and you’ll actually get to finish the bottle. It prevents it from gluing itself shut.
If you have a problem that seems unsolveable, the best way to think of a solution is to go sit somewhere quiet and try to meditate. Just set a timer for 20 minutes, 30 minutes… maybe an hour. Then just focus your attention on your breath and don’t do anything. By the time is up, you will have at least one, and sometimes 4 or 5, potential solutions to your problem, and often a much more positive attitude.
Also, don’t fix dry squeaky things with wd40. It lubricates at first, but it was never designed as a long term lubricant, and the grease will pick up debris in not very long, making the problem worse. Instead, use a silicon-based dry lubrication spray.
Put down a towel and mess around.
