    Content from subreddits like this provides a form of escapism from the toxic parts of the internet. It allows users to forget the doom and gloom of current events by offering “mindless” entertainment. 

    According to psychologist Dr. Ashley Olivine, it’s natural for people to seek escapism as a way to either cope with traumatic situations or memories, manage challenges, and relieve stress.

    Dr. Olivine emphasizes that escapism through daydreaming and online scrolling can be beneficial but requires intentionality and moderation. As she points out, doing it in excess has its drawbacks, which can affect a person’s quality of life. 

    “Escapism may also cause withdrawal from social relationships, marked by friends or family noting decreased connection or missed social events,” Dr. Olivine wrote.

    Regarding the benefits of escapism in one’s life, Dr. Olivine says it depends on the chosen activity. She urges engaging in physical activity and getting lost in a book, for example, rather than spending too much time on social media or doing random shopping sprees that may lead to overspending.

    Dr. Olivine also noted that it is important to determine whether your chosen form of escapism is healthy by considering your motivation for doing it. 

    “Exercise, such as running, is a healthy form of escapism if your goals are to increase positive emotions and promote well-being. Exercise as an unhealthy form of escapism might involve doing so as a form of punishment.”

    In action movies, when the hero is attacking a horde of bad guys, he'll knock out henchmen on his way to the leader, but rarely do anything to make sure they'll stay unconscious or otherwise harmless. How could the heroes know how long those people will stay down? Another pet peeve in those movies is the number of rounds fired without reloading. That's especially bad in westerns, since you know the pistol only holds six bullets.
