Look At This Cat Until Bored

LOOK AT THIS CAT UNTIL YOU BECOME BORED WITH IT. WHEN YOU BECOME BORED WITH IT, INSTEAD OF INSTINCTIVELY REDIRECTING YOUR ATTENTION TO SOMETHING MORE STIMULATING, NOTICE THE SLIGHT AGITATION THAT HAS COME AND TRY TO RESIST IT. THIS IS NOT TO MAKE YOU TOLERABLE OF THINGS THAT ARE MUNDANE, BUT TO HELP BUILD BACK YOUR ATTENTION SPAN THAT THE INTERNET HAS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.

A simple hand-drawn cat appears beneath a block of text instructing the viewer to stare at it until boredom and agitation arise. The joke is that the deliberately mundane cat is presented as an attention-span exercise, parodying internet advice about reclaiming focus from constant stimulation. It is sent as an absurd reaction to boredom, distraction, or overly serious self-improvement advice.
