Study proves internet is unhealthy
Researchers asked 467 people to install an app that restricted their internet use.

Over half -- 57% quit the study before it even started.

Just the idea of being ofline was too much, even for money.

But here’s the wild part.... The people who stuck it out and stayed offline for 2 weeks saw bigtime changes:

-71% had significantly better mental health

-Depression scores dropped more than in most antidepressant trials

-Focus levels rebounded like reversing a decade of cognitive decline

No meds. No life-changing routines. Just logging off the internet.

You're unhealthy for OT, Arvaos. You are never positive.
As op posts "Study proves internet is unhealthy" on the internet .
Babylon Bee style
did not need a study to tell me that. who could have guessed being connected to and aware of all the horrors and suffering of the world at once constantly would have negative effects on ones mental health?
most happiness drugs cant compete with placebo.

fill up on placebo online, then when you are full bpd back into real life to placebo the placebo.

ride that happiness dragon; what could go wrong?
