    Youtube addiction I guess?

    You can also just enjoy your meal without looking at screens - there’s a whole world out there.

    I apparently have an unhealthy relationship with food. After not having much of it for a majority of my life, now that I can afford to eat 3 meals a day I usually make those meals way to big, to the point where I make myself sick a lot.

    My wife pointed out that I always need to be watching something while I eat and it’s likely me trying to ignore the fact that I’m constantly panic eating as much food as possible.

    I also can’t stand when people talk to me or look at me while I’m eating, especially in any sort of company. My wife says I’m like a rabid dog when we go out and tries to remind me that no ones going to come up and take my food away from me. But just this evening my toddler snatched the last chocolate cookie litterally out of my mouth, although to be fair I did the same thing to him with a piece of plastic he was trying to eat a few minutes earlier.

    Anyway there’s my somewhat related take.

    Don’t forget “Time spent eating a snack so that you have the energy to figure out and prepare what you actually want to eat.”

          Yeah, even leaving personal afflictions aside, the YouTube website sucks so much. You can add another minute onto the time needed for finding a video, because it needs to reload itself three times before it’s able to display itself.

          And higher quality website implementations, like Invidious, those get slowed down or blocked by Google all the time, making the experience infuriating, too.

          You can block them. On PieFed or Mbin it’s trivial, in Lemmy… not so much, but possibly an app could do it, or a custom Ublock filter.

          There may also be a community that shares only videos not from YouTube - I dunno, but if not, you could be the one who creates it and gets it going!:-)
