That feel-good, rewarding chemical in your brain that’s released when you do or see something that makes you happy.
Doing one of your favourite hobbies, watching your favourite show, seeing someone who makes you feel good, or enjoying literally anything else can cause your brain to release dopamine.

Dopamine farming refers to the habitual behavior of engaging in multiple digital activities simultaneously, such as scrolling through social media feeds, watching a show or movie, or playing a game, with the intention of eliciting a rush of dopamine from one or more of these sources.
This phenomenon often involves having multiple screens or windows open concurrently, creating a sensory overload aimed at maximizing the potential for dopamine release
