One of the first posts I've seen today but NGL I already needed the break
I don't need to waste the last day of my vacation doomscrolling
The weather is fine and I've got trees to nap under

Keep that feeling going!
I hope you don't see my comment today ;)
This is the nicest comment you could leave someone
Nice. Happy napping, it's drizzly af here or I'd do the same
It was pretty drizzly in the morning but it cleared up by afternoon
It was a good nap 7/10, should have packed an extra set of socks
This was literally the first post I saw, but alrighty.
Might be my selection, but my scroll doesn't feel doomy...
I got rid of all the doom in my scrolling. Nowadays I wholesome scroll ❤️ it's doubly beneficial: I neither have to scroll as long, nor do I feel a crushing hopelessness when I'm finished ❤️
So you see 4 posts and then dip out?
Yeah I'm usually looking at memes lol
Sometimes I've heard people complain about how their feeds are just doom & gloom, then you ask them what sort of stuff they follow and it's the doom & gloom sort of stuff
:/

But I just woke up and this is literally the first meme I've seen today :(
Quit while you're ahead, maybe?
But what if I miss something really horrible that will make me feel bad?!
In case anyone wants more adorable hamster pictures, the hamster's name is Sukeroku by the artist Gotte.
I'm only five posts in and I'm already mentally tired
But this is lemmy. Without fear mongering, there would be little content to share here.
wanna see my guitar?
Sure! I’ve got a few basses as well.
Thank you.

Now get the fuck out of my pantry or I will start using glue traps.
I still upvoted but I feel like making this the top post misses the point.
Man, my 80 year-old parents, whose only income comes from DoorDash had their car die this week, on top of their furnace and A/C going out.
And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.
So, respectfully, I'm not feeling particularly optimistic. The thousands I'm going to have to spend to keep them alive is going to add years of work before I can retire, and that's just the reality of living in this shitty, goddamn capitalist hellhole.
At least like four people will get to be even more disgustingly rich, though. Yay. Vote Biden and Trump, friends.
I think the point is not "don't care about bad things happening in your life," it's, rather, "don't get so upset about the bad things happening everywhere else first thing in the morning."
I'm sorry to hear that
And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.
36 cents of every U.S. tax dollar goes to social security and medicare. The elderly being the primary beneficiaries of these social programs. That's before we start talking about senior discounts, rent controlled age restricted communities, and a long list of other state, county and city programs designed to benefit the elderly.
I'm sorry to hear about your parents struggling. But stating pure lies is unacceptable.

I can hear your empathy dripping off the screen. Thank you so much.

I need a big print of this hanging by my pond. It is so calming.
I see hamster, I upvote
I literally just woke up. Get off my ass, gerbil.
But there's earl grey tea.
Thank you little lemming, I select.my feed for sanity. Fear mongers can scream all their want, the wind takes their screams away
The "filter all the doom out" option is still dystopian and fucked up. And arguably irresponsible, even.
The whole house IS ACTUALLY ON FIRE, but your proposed solution is to don earplugs and a blindfold, and inject yourself with a shitload of novocaine and opium, so you can go "this is fine" as you roast.
Yes, you've got every right to do that. Yes, fighting the fire is incredibly difficult (and may be impossible). However, pitching "just ignore the problems" as the sane solution? That's not actually valid. That's not actually sane.
Again: you can do it. I'm not judging you, per se. But sticking your head in the sand is not some kind of big-brain thing, that everyone should be doing, or else they're a "doomer."
Not OP, but it seems to me the assumption you're making here is that Ignoring problems = not listening to every problem at every possible moment on every platform. Nah. Fuck that. I don't come here to become informed on world issues. That'd be fucking stupid. This is a social media website. I come here from a distraction from the work I do.
My assumption is valid, because this person is bragging about using some sketchy web tool to scrub the reality from their feed.
lol maybe yeah, I get by fine without it
