    How does this work? You watch 100’s of ~10 second videos in a row for hours? Trying to understand because this seems to be a common thing these days.

    I have never tried tiktok and only saw some YouTube shorts. I see one or two and it annoys me because it’s clipped badly, gives bad information, or just shows something meaningless. Random loud music. The same video keeps playing on a loop as I try to think.

    Even if it was great content, my brain just couldn’t stay focused beyond a couple videos. The constant changes to a new video would be exhausting for me. There’s also no time to think about what you just saw.

    Boss forced everyone to come into work because she was tired of using tech. Wanted people to come in and eat ice cream while brainstorming with post it notes. Said anyone not there is fired.

    Well she didn’t put any effort into planning it, and it was very inefficient so everyone ended up using their computers like they had been doing at home. Just with more distractions and needing to commute. Not much work got done so everyone needed to work from home that night after hours to meet deadlines.

    Well it turns out the guy passing out icecream was also passing out covid. Every single person on the team got sick. None of the projects were completed by the deadlines and the entire department was shut down. Everyone lost their jobs.

    The boss herself is still unemployed over a year later because she is now disabled with long covid. Has a heart problem from it where she can pass out at random times. Can no longer taste ice cream.
