4·1 day agoI didn’t read that very thoroughly but it mostly seems to make the point that dopamine fasting is not a thing, because it’s a chemical our body produces directly.
Key sentences
While dopamine does rise in response to rewards or pleasurable activities, it doesn’t actually decrease when you avoid overstimulating activities, so a dopamine “fast” doesn’t actually lower your dopamine levels.
The original intent behind the dopamine fast was to provide a rationale and suggestions for disconnecting from days of technology-driven frenzy and substituting more simple activities to help us reconnect us with ourselves and others.
Basically you can’t really take a dopamine tolerance break as you can with drugs

3·2 days agoRecently bit the bullet and finally bought one. Mostly to ensure my PC’s components don’t get slowly damaged by power fluctuations now that my RAM sticks are worth a significant chunk of what I bought my fucking car for, but the trigger was my cat stepping on the PC’s power strip switch a few days after my house randomly lost power (which both happened while I was using the computer, of course)
