A local woman has today realised the severity of her mate’s dopamine addiction, after he whipped out his phone and started scrolling through Instagram reels while she was attempting to have a heart to heart conversation.
Like many modern adults, Jason Lindemann, 32, has absolutely fried his dopamine receptors by swapping all forms of longform content, such as reading books or even watching a movie, for mindlessly scrolling through bite sized content on his phone for hours.
Initially kickstarting his addiction by jumping on his phone the second he got home, Jason has since devolved to the point where he’s now incapable of keeping focus around human beings – such as the case when his mate Gwen popped over to check out his new place.
It’s alleged that Gwen was able to keep his focus for roughly five minutes before Jason started flicking his phone, with the glazed look of someone unaware they’d just gone on autopilot.
“Jesus Christ, are you fucking watching Reels right now?”, Gwen asked, having noticed that Jason did not seem to be responding to the salacious gossip she just dropped, “you’re fucking cooked mate.”
At least having the sense to look slightly embarrassed, Jason was able to make it another five minutes before he resumed his scrolling again, prompting Gwen to snatch the phone away like he was a naughty toddler.
More to come.
