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.

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.

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!
