screen time as the sole hobby
When being in front of screens, e.g. doomscrolling on your smartphone for hours on end, now becomes the only hobby your have. This is because screen time has made you lose the interest on the hobbies you once enjoyed, hence you now prone to missing important things in life.
Ever since I got a new iPhone, I experience the phenomenon of screen time as the sole hobby; I spend hours doomscrolling and completely ignore my old passions like painting and hiking. It’s like I’m missing out on life while stuck in a digital bubble.

over-calculating
a) Spending time calculating a value with way more significant figures than akcually required, b) Calculating something that shouldn't be calculated, e.g. time "wasted" whilst you're reprimanded by parents for your trivial wrong-doings when you ought to have that time to catch up latest YouTube videos
I spent an hour over-calculating how much time I'd lose getting yelled at for missing curfew, when I could've just been watching my favorite YouTube videos instead!

I don't have time
When you say you don't have time for something, what you're really saying is, "This is not a priority for me right now." The 'no time' excuse is seductive because it sounds reasonable and removes personal responsibility. Research has found that it's socially acceptable to be busy, even admirable in our culture, which is why so many people lean on that excuse rather than just admitting the truth: 'This isn't my main focus right now.'
When my girl friend asked me to help her Chemistry assignment, I was like, 'I don't have time,' but really I just wanted to binge-watch my favorite show instead.

MDPL
An Indonesian acronym for "meter di atas permukaan laut" (meaning "meters above sea level"), which not many Indonesian akcually know the akcual full-form. Combined with "Deadpool" (2016) being the top-grossing R-rated movie during its release date, this has since become the backronym for "Motherfucking DeadPool".
I was hiking at an MDPL of 1,500 meters, but all I could think about was how Deadpool would totally make this adventure way funnier—Motherfucking DeadPool, am I right?

I can't believe I forgot to bring snacks; it's that time of the month, and I need all the chocolate I can get!
