Speaker 4: screen time on Instagram and TikTok because getting out of hand.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys find it the same.
Speaker 4: You just somehow waste away all these minutes, and you
Speaker 4: I just feel dirty up minutes you do.
Speaker 1: You're right? Actually, then suddenly, when those forty five minutes
Speaker 1: has gone really quickly, do you feel that it's a
Speaker 1: sting of shame? Yes, you're a friend of mine does
Speaker 1: now he uses Instagram. What he does though, if he
Speaker 1: wants to post something, he has to download the app again,
Speaker 1: and it's such a fath right and to inconvenience himself,
Speaker 1: it's cutting down his usage. So he wants to look
Speaker 1: at it, he has to download the app and then
Speaker 1: use it, and then delete it and download it again.
Speaker 1: He's half to just by doing that, he's half his usage.
Speaker 4: Is that? Yeah, that's a good one. I've actually found.
Speaker 4: I guess the nicotine patch equivalent of that. It's a
Speaker 4: website called wiktok, and I've replaced it as my Instagram addiction.
Speaker 4: And it's formatted exactly the same as TikTok. You just
Speaker 4: keep swiping down. But it's interesting Wikipedia articles and just
Speaker 4: like the most interesting parts from it, So you just
Speaker 4: keep swiping down, swiping down.
Speaker 1: Halfway house. That's really good. It's like low alcohol beer. Yes,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: So the one I was reading was the nineteen oh
Speaker 4: fourth Summer Olympics about the men's marathon, where this is
Speaker 4: a crazy, crazy, crazy marathon. The first place winner took
Speaker 4: a cab during the race for ten miles, and the
Speaker 4: second place winner took a mixture of brandy and rat
Speaker 4: poison by accident and was carried over the finish line
Speaker 4: by his countrymen who were running like moving his legs
Speaker 4: as though he was running like a weekend get burnished,
Speaker 4: and then the finished. The third place runner was a
Speaker 4: random Cuban guy who arrived last minute wearing street clothes
Speaker 4: because he lost all his money gambling.
