    Purely anecdotal, but I’m pretty sure my reading ability has gotten worse since I started using reddit many moons ago. I never used to get distracted every few paragraphs while reading a book or long article. It could just be bog standard cognitive decline from aging, but I’m not THAT old, and I do feel like social media rewires your brain to prefer single-bite information.

      Not reading that wall of text. Can I get a TLDR?

      Mistake a lot of people make is trying to jump back into reading the big tomes they read as a kid. Shits a muscle gotta build back up. I recommend comics/graphic novels they have pretty pictures and the story has natural stopping points so you can read for like 20 and stop while finishing some story still. Beats just zoning out with tv or reddit.

      I liked Transmetropolitan, and Sandman
