Meditation vs Endless Scrolling

MEDITATION vs ENDLESSLY SCROLLING • OH NO, FEELINGS • WAIT AM I ALLOWED TO FEEL OR SHOULD I NOT • 1 MINUTE FEELS LIKE 30 MINUTES • SO BORING IT'S STIMULATING • AHH, NO FEELINGS • EXCEPT THE VAGUE UNDERCURRENT OF DREAD • 30 MINUTES FEELS LIKE 1 MINUTE • SO STIMULATING IT'S BORING

A split-panel Wojak drawing compares sitting cross-legged in meditation with endlessly scrolling on a phone. Meditation brings uncomfortable feelings and makes one minute feel like thirty, while scrolling suppresses feelings but creates vague dread and makes thirty minutes feel like one. The joke is about the paradoxical boredom and overstimulation of doomscrolling, often sent as a self-deprecating reaction to avoiding mindfulness.
