It leads to aimless scrolling and sometimes reading if I’m motivated.
Like work-appropriate pants for an athletic build that aren’t low rise and have more than five belt loops?
Low rise work pants are the worst
The day when the laundry doesn’t along and you don’t have the waist-height pants or the extra tall shirt… oof.
Other than love in all the wrong places?
I kid, slightly. I go days without using a search engine. I’ve given up on searching for anything on Amazon.
Oh! Good suggestion. I look way too much up.
If it’s a search for something that can’t be readily described, I’d say it’s because we’re starved for useful/actionable/interesting information sometimes.
Oh no that’s insightful! We have lots of access to information but really not a lot we can do about it. What do I do with this newfound realization? 😅

encourage yourself to make a comment/interact with things you like so you can find them through your profile history. Try to see interaction as a process of remembering.
-
use a link tree system such as logseq, obsidian, siyuan or org mode to save interesting links within a resilient context. Bookmark tools are so useless our brains often just try to retain context in our working memory, a metaphorical and often literal state of a million open tabs that we try to hold on to leading inveitably to a state of suspension at what feels like the event horizon of forgetting.
Thus why I made a Beehaw account I suppose. Interaction helps. But it’s spooky though! What if I say the wrong thing! Luckily bookmarking or open tabs is less of an issue nowadays personally.

Ahh… addiction. Delicious, isn’t it?
