sour scrolling

This is when you are scrolling on social media and the more you scroll, the more angry, bitter, irritated, or sour you get. It happens all the time.

Kelsie: "OMG! Can you believe that Luna is going to Greece?!?! I'm so jelly!"
Rachel: ""Yeah, whatever. (continues looking into her phone with a scowl)"
Kelsie: "Hey! You know you can just stop it with the sour scrolling and be irritated with what's happening in your life!"
Rachel: "You mean like you being that bitch almost daily? Nay to that yay!"

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.

Stop scrolling

"Stop scrolling" is a request that never works. If somebody says "stop scrolling" to you, you won't.

Terrifying white woman: "Stop scrolling, veryuselessperson78!"
veryuselessperson78: "Leave me alone."

And then the dog came in.
