That’s irrelevant. The study showed that people were in better mental health and the reason why he said it was because they were doing fulfilling hobbies is probably because they told the researchers that’s what they did instead.

… the assumption here is that people know what they find fulfilling. Before the internet people would stare at the tv for 12 hours a day.

Yes, we love science unless it’s critical of our own behavior. Where have I seen that same attitude… oh yeah, billionaires, corporations and MAGA.

I have several very fulfilling hobbies but I don’t have enough money or time (especially time) to do them. Hurray.

I often feel like I don’t have time for my many hobbies, then I realize I’ve just spent 3 hours on lemmy or reddit.

We need to get off the internet. Or at least off lemmy. Probably better to get off the internet more often, otherwise we’ll just find something else :/

OTOH my friend and I spent most of the weekend making this for his new apartment. The opening fits his little TV, so when he isn’t watching TV he plans play fire videos on it.
