hard scrolling

Scrolling instagram reels, tiktok or other social media platform in a selective and non-time wasting manner, often with a maximum of three second per video to interest you before you decide to scroll to the next one. This method is used to browse reels and tiktoks in the most effective and least time consuming way.

Hard scrolling is contrary to soft scrolling.

Seriously?

Yeah but im hypertraining my algo!

Skid Scroll

The name for the remaining roll of toilet paper after someone has wiped their ass with it and then rolled it back up rather than tearing it off and flushing it.

Tim decided it would be funny to leave a skid scroll in the dorm bathroom.

Fritter Scrolling

Wasting time, energy or money, scrolling aimlessly through frivolous content on social media, websites or video sharing sites. Could also be loosely be referred to as Idle Scrolling, which is spending time doing nothing, albeit one is scrolling, they are scrolling without purpose, aim or goal.

The concept is also applied to wasting time through other means, see Fritter Lifing.

I was fritter scrolling and didn't realise how much time had past.

Scroll fugue

When you scroll through social media for an extended period and lose your perception of time.

I went on Twitter for like 15 min and got sucked into a scroll fugue. Before I knew it, four hours had passed!

Rabbit Scroll

When you open up a TikTok and then find yourself still scrolling many minutes later, like falling down an internet rabbit hole.

Friend 1: Hey man, did you see that TikTok I sent you last night?
Friend 2: Yeah it sent me down a rabbit scroll for like an hour and I missed the deadline for my paper on ADHD.

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.

I was supposed to get all my laundry done today but I was caught in a Death Scroll on TikTok so I guess i’ll have to do it tomorrow.
