This was literally the first post I saw, but alrighty.
Same for me but that doesn’t make it untrue
It was my third, but maybe I should take the evening off
Might be my selection, but my scroll doesn’t feel doomy…
I got rid of all the doom in my scrolling. Nowadays I wholesome scroll ❤️ it’s doubly beneficial: I neither have to scroll as long, nor do I feel a crushing hopelessness when I’m finished ❤️
So you see 4 posts and then dip out?
Yeah I’m usually looking at memes lol
Sometimes I’ve heard people complain about how their feeds are just doom & gloom, then you ask them what sort of stuff they follow and it’s the doom & gloom sort of stuff
:/
It’s also frequently the case that people are just scrolling everything, rather than a curated list of subs. In which case, there’s no shortage of doom and gloom, even after filtering out obvious bad actors. I tend to alternate between this and my subscription feed, which is mostly Star Trek memes.
In case anyone wants more adorable hamster pictures, the hamster’s name is Sukeroku by the artist Gotte.
But I just woke up and this is literally the first meme I’ve seen today :(
Quit while you’re ahead, maybe?
But what if I miss something really horrible that will make me feel bad?!
I’m only five posts in and I’m already mentally tired

Thank you little lemming, I select.my feed for sanity. Fear mongers can scream all their want, the wind takes their screams away
Man, my 80 year-old parents, whose only income comes from DoorDash had their car die this week, on top of their furnace and A/C going out.
And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.
So, respectfully, I’m not feeling particularly optimistic. The thousands I’m going to have to spend to keep them alive is going to add years of work before I can retire, and that’s just the reality of living in this shitty, goddamn capitalist hellhole.
At least like four people will get to be even more disgustingly rich, though. Yay. Vote Biden and Trump, friends.
I think the point is not “don’t care about bad things happening in your life,” it’s, rather, “don’t get so upset about the bad things happening everywhere else first thing in the morning.”
I’m sorry to hear that
And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.
36 cents of every U.S. tax dollar goes to social security and medicare. The elderly being the primary beneficiaries of these social programs. That’s before we start talking about senior discounts, rent controlled age restricted communities, and a long list of other state, county and city programs designed to benefit the elderly.
I’m sorry to hear about your parents struggling. But stating pure lies is unacceptable.

I can hear your empathy dripping off the screen. Thank you so much.
I accept that your parents are struggling, I accept that you are hurting because of this. I whole heartedly accept the reality you’re living in and empathize and sympathize with it. If that’s what you need right now focus on that.
I literally just woke up. Get off my ass, gerbil.
But there’s earl grey tea.
Giving me some Redwall vibes
*deep breaths*
Clearly not enough
