: Signs you might be using the Internet too much
: Tadanori Oyama June 08, 2009, 11:14:57 AM

I was crusing the web last night and the thought occured to me: I have nothing to do, I'm not looking for anything, I've checked the same set of websites like three times now. Why am I even using the internet?

So, rather than consult my local addiction counciler I thought I'd make a forum topic about it and maybe think of a few good jokes.

Mine mostly relate to forums but any internet warning sign is welcome. Since this was last night and it's now this morning I am tired and don't remember all of my hilarious, sleep deprived humor so these little ones'll have to start the roll balling.



Your total time logged in has to be measured in weeks.

Your post count uses scientific notation.

Yeah, I know what you mean.  I don't have anything funny to say, I just did that more than often. I mean, I have all these fucking games on my computer, and when I have free time, I checked my e-mails, the RPPR forums, the SA forums, cracked.com, youtube, all my webcomics RSS, then RPPR forums again, and finish with the SA forums. Well maybe there's more than that but I feel I should be doing something more valuable to society sometimes, like work on OT13, or plant a garden.

I'm not sure how to go about fixing this internet ennui issue, but I have some suggestions on what not to do:

1) Do not read a book.
2) Do not exercise.

The long term effects of these two activities have not been sufficiently studied are not worth pursuing under any circumstance.
