Nowadays, it’s hard not to spend time on the internet. We go online to read the news, keep up with our friends and family members, find entertainment and to understand the latest trends. But if you catch yourself speaking in more meme and TikTok references than coherent sentences, it might be time to log off and get some fresh air.

Being chronically online is a sneaky illness that creeps up on us when we least expect it, but thankfully, there is a cure: spending time offline. Below, Bored Panda has gathered some of the most facepalm worthy posts from folks who could certainly be diagnosed as chronically online to serve as a warning sign that it’s never too late to go outside and touch some grass. Keep reading to find a conversation with Eric Simons of the Chronically Online podcast, and remember to log off social media before this insidious illness gets to you too!

I feel like if you "unalive" yourself, you've already cancelled yourself ETA quotations around unalive since it wasn't clear that I was using it as satire and not seriously

    No conspiracy here, this is just a humorous comment about Overwatch 2 which is apparently the most blatant money grab (coupled with a buggy game) that Acti/Blizzard have put out. Currently rated about 10% on Steam. *OOF!*

    While it's true the Hitler Youth had a strong emphasis on physical fitness and keeping those Aryan bodies toned, the Soviet Communists also liked to encourage physical activity on collective farms. I think it's obvious, then, that the real enemy is exercise!

    I had to look this one up because the only thing that came to mind was going to a store and asking if an out of stock item might be in the back room. To save other people time here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Backrooms and to summarise Backrooms is some weird creepy pasta about a bunch (maze) of empty backrooms that you can accidentally find yourself stuck in. Potentially occupied by creepy critters. If the son in the tweet is young it's not hard to imagine them believing this. We all believed stupid stuff as kids.

    I kind of like this one. It's about a dream and it's related to a real thing (cancel culture) even if the dream twisted that into a weird situation. That's just this persons brain doing some thinking while they're asleep. Unless it's in a completely inappropriate discussion forum then it seems fine.

    After a person lands their dream job, they may complain about the hours. After moving into a big house, they may complain about the mortgage rate. After having kids, they complain about the sleep deprivation.

    As someone with obsessive tendencies I actually stopped playing one of my all time favourite games when it started invading my dreams because I didn't want to love it to an unhealthy degree. Now I only play it occasionally; I still love it and have completed it several times, but I can love it without becoming obsessed. (Autism, man. It's a whole thing).
