Dopamine farmer

A tongue-in-cheek label for those who tirelessly sow the seeds of instant gratification, tending to their addictive crops like a modern-day farmer. These individuals harvest dopamine highs through activities like endless scrolling, binge-watching, or jackpot-chasing, all while neglecting the long-term fields of genuine fulfillment.
Chris: So, did you hear about Jessica's latest obsession with social media?

Sarah: Oh, don't even get me started. She's turned into a full-blown dopamine farmer.

Chris: Tell me about it! It's like she's more interested in harvesting likes than getting any actual work done.

Sarah: Seriously, it's like she's got one hand on her phone and the other on the dopamine faucet, just cranking it up all day long.

Chris: And let's not even mention her productivity levels. It's like watching a wilted plant trying to grow in a desert.

Sarah: I know, right? I swear, if she spent half as much time on her assignments as she does on Instagram, she'd be employee of the month by now.

Dopamine Farming

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
