When you're participating in the competition of getting as much screen time as possible from your parents, while your parents are strict in limiting your screen time and your opponents are 270 millions of the residents of Indonesia — i.e. the country with highest average screen time (6.05 hours per day) since the research in this area was first conducted back in 2020
Trying to get more screen time than 270 million Indonesians feels like an unhealthy competition; my parents keep cutting me off while everyone else seems to have endless hours!

Get the unhealthy competitionmug. A slang term for extra (hours of recreational) screen time that seniors can easily have as a form of self-reward; whilst children, teenagers, and younger adults are subject to more stringent behavior requirements to obtain the same duration of extra screen time due to the presence of third-party authority (parents, teachers, institutions, and employers)
It's wild how my grandparents can rack up hours of screen time as some kind of old people's self-reward, while I have to jump through hoops just to watch an extra episode!

Get the old people's self-rewardmug. The loophole where online contents that are not feature films, contain much more inappropriate contents as they don't have to be submitted for age rating unlike feature films.
Scrolling through TikTok felt like the Streaming Wild West—so much inappropriate stuff slipped through the cracks that would never make it to the movie theaters.

You can spot a Happy Family unit from a mile away; they always have that Happy Family sticker proudly displaying their two kids and a fluffy dog on the rear windshield of their cars!

This is a state of perpetual learning, often marked by the consumption of one tutorial after another without putting acquired knowledge into practice. While tutorials are excellent for grasping concepts, relying solely on them can hinder your progress.
I’ve been in tutorial hell for weeks now, watching endless videos on web development, but I still haven’t built a single project—just consuming knowledge without applying it!

Get the tutorial hellmug. Having the suffix "-burger" referring to the Sternberger family, cheeseburger was first invented by Lionel Sternberger in 1924 at the age of 16. He was working as a fry cook at his father's Pasadena, California, sandwich shop, "The Rite Spot", and "experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger." An early example of the cheeseburger appearing on a menu is a 1928 menu for the Los Angeles restaurant O'Dell's, which listed a cheeseburger smothered with chili for 25 cents, or about 4.7 dollars in 2025 after inflation.
Next time you grab a cheeseburger, remember it all started with Lionel Sternberger experimenting with cheese in 1924—talk about a delicious legacy!
