Death Scroll 

(Verb) The action of getting stuck scrolling social media for hours on end, sometimes becoming impossible to stop. The victim often loses track of time, forgets tasks, and eventually numbs their brain into a deep fog. Often times the content is considered “Brain Rot” and the user’s vision can even become impaired, feeling as though they are several feet from the screen. Can be a common side effect of ADD/ADHD.

The Scroll of Judgment Theory

A theory about what happens after death. According to this theory, when a person dies, they are not judged by a god or higher power, but by an ancient scroll that falls from the darkness. The scroll contains every action they’ve ever taken good and bad and the soul is forced to relive all their mistakes and moments of cruelty. If they lived with kindness, they fade away peacefully. But if they lived selfishly or hurt others, they are trapped forever, endlessly reliving their wrongdoings in a cycle of regret.
After hearing about The Scroll of Judgment Theory, I’m starting to think that all the bad stuff I’ve done might come back to haunt me when I die

scroll fugue 

A disassociated state where someone loses awareness while scrolling social media and unconsciously drifts between apps. Similar to a fugue state, it involves memory gaps, autopilot browsing, and the sudden realization that you’ve ended up deep in another feed without remembering how.
I knew it was time for bed when I got sent into a scroll fugue last night while scrolling on X.
