Get the AFK mug.A certified goofy from Saint Louis. Stands 5’5” , hides behind a monitor and talks tough like he’s 7 feet tall. Multiple sources confirm he’s quiet and pussy in real life, known for ducking smoke and avoiding eye contact. Timid in real life, but transforms into a keyboard warrior the second Wi-Fi connects. Known for running his mouth online, dodging all confrontation in real life. All bark, no bite — the final boss of internet thugs.

Get the AFK tribe mug.The situation where people who have excessive screen time per day will get an eye, whilst AFK moments are "normalized" (i.e. happens more frequently and feels less painful). For example, in K-12 school campuses where smartphones must be collected during school hours, which is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments and not to "condition" students for unavoidable AFK moments in the foreseeable future.
At school, we have to hand in our phones, which makes AFK normalcy a real thing—everyone's so used to stepping away from their screens that it hardly bothers us anymore!

Originally standing for "Absence From Keyboard", this term now standing for "Absence From sKreen" refers to the phenomenon where you feel missing out the latest YouTube videos whilst you've been unable to watch YouTube for extended periods of time. Similarly, going to bed whilst having not watched YouTube during the day is as unpleasant as going to bed whilst being hungry. This phenomenon is more commonly experienced by persons who have subscribed to lots of YouTube channels in a row (i.e. 600+ channels) compared to those who subscribe to few to no YouTube channels.
I thought I could take a short break from YouTube videos, but now I'm hit with serious AFK vibes—I've missed out on countless of new YouTube videos while I was away from YouTube!
