Doomscrolling

When you are scrolling on any media platform especially Instagram reels for hours on end until your eyes and fingers start to vaporize sending your soul into the doom or reels never able to escape

It’s like falling into a black hole of Insta videos you think you’ll watch one, and suddenly three hours have passed, your eyes are burning, your fingers feel like molten lava, and you wonder if you’ll ever surface from the endless scroll- doomscrolling

doomscroll

Originally, doomscrolling meant scrolling as a doomer (someone who is pessimistic about everything,) feeling worse about yourself and the world the more you scrolled.

Nowadays, to doomscroll is to scroll on an app or website forever; until your doom.

I am going to doomscroll for the next 5 hours and ignore my responsibilities to my detriment.

Doomchatting

The act of endlessly chatting with an AI or chatbot, as a way to pass time, avoid boredom, or seek connection. Like doomscrolling, it’s compulsive and can leave you drained instead of fulfilled. Instead of scrolling through negative news, you get stuck in a loop of questions, prompts, and replies—sometimes without realizing how much time has passed.

“Jack F stayed up until 3 a.m. doomchatting with an AI about conspiracy theories and his love life.”
