Attention all who's eyes are glued to a screen.

Over the years this has probably happened to you. Whether you watched T.V., used your computer or as I type this staring into your smartphone in the middle of an intersection when you should be paying attention to that oncoming tr---too late.


Anywho, you probably felt the following symptoms:

-Nausea

-Dizziness

-Headache

-Disorentation


Just to name a few, but above all else the best way to describe it would be like feeling sea sick without actually being at sea.


Now at first, because I was watching some random haunted Youtube Video by this guy Moe Sargi. He among most things allegedly claimed to get sick from some form of spiritual possession, I first thought it was happening to me too, because that was when I suddenly felt extremely nauseous. But then I realized I been watching this thing for almost an hour and a buddy of mine mentioned getting eye strains from watching too much TV. So I did some digging and found this.

As it turns out, prolonged exposure to electronic screens has made me physically ill and I'm pretty sure a lot of you got the same thing, but not noticing.


Before when I encouraged people to spend more time in the real world and less time on the net, I was just trying to save the minds from being drained to stupid. Now, I know for a fact that your very health is at stake so for the love of god. Spend less time on the screens, because if you don't it could actually kill you.


Other than that, take care, stay safe and stay tuned for more.

Damn... I guess I really should spend less time on my PC.

Bruh this is scary as heck wth

I think the myopia epidemic is more concerning than neo-motion sickness

Whar?

Is this even possible, I only get bloated and burp, heck even fart lol

Lad what?? It's a commonly known fact that (some) people get sick from staring at their devices while they are in a moving vehicle. Sailors used to get seasick from reading a book too long on a ship.

This happens when your brain tries to stabilize your eyes, and it almost seems like the world is still, but your ears tell your brain that your moving, which causes sickness.

You should be worried about the real issues of this world like, nukes, AI, wars and... Australia.

@Nitgo Oh God, I was hoping Australia would be a bit more sane than the US right now. But I agree with you and @Dr.-Freebase. Myopia is a bigger concern with excessive screen time (I think my own TikTok-obsessed sister said she may be developing near-sightedness from staring at screens for too long), and I've actually gotten similar levels of eye strain drawing on traditional paper and pencil in a well-lit room, suggesting that regardless of what you're staring at for long periods of time, it helps to take frequent breaks and look at something else to keep our eyes healthy, just in general. I am of course familiar from getting sick to my stomach from either reading something on my phone screen or a traditional paper book while riding in a moving car.

That's something to think about...
