How Brain Rot Destroys Student's Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Have you ever felt like your brain is turning into mush from endless scrolling? Or maybe caught yourself in the middle of an Instagram marathon, wondering where the last two hours went?
We’re talking about something that’s secretly messing with all of us: brain rot. Yep, the dreaded brain rot.
For those of you who don’t know, brain rot isn’t some scary disease from a horror movie. It's what happens when you spend way too much time on mindless activities, like scrolling through social media, binge-watching cat videos, or endlessly clicking on clickbait RUclips videos. You know that feeling when you’ve watched so many TikToks that you start dreaming in 15-second clips? That’s brain rot creeping in.
Imagine this: it’s a typical Tuesday afternoon, and you’re trying to study for an upcoming exam. You’ve got your textbooks spread out, a nice cup of coffee, and your laptop ready. You’re determined to make this study session count. Just as you’re about to dive into Chapter 3, your phone buzzes. It’s a message from your friend.
He’s sent you an Instagram reel, and it looks hilarious. You think, “I’ll just check it out for a quick laugh.”
You open Instagram and watch the reel. But then, you swipe up to see the next reel. And the next. And the next. Before you know it, you’re deep into the Instagram reel rabbit hole. You’ve watched a dog doing a dance, a cooking hack that you’ll probably never try, and a prank video that has you in stitches.
Time flies when you’re having fun, right? You glance at the clock and realize that an hour has gone by. One whole hour. Your textbooks are still lying there, untouched. The coffee you made is now cold, and you can’t remember what you were supposed to be studying in the first place. That’s brain rot in action.
You try to get back into your study groove, but it’s hard to focus. Did you know it takes about 20 minutes to regain full focus after a distraction? Yep, that means every time you pick up your phone, you’re setting yourself back even further.
This scenario doesn’t just affect your study session. It starts to spill over into the rest of your day. You decide to take a break from studying and go grab some lunch. While you’re eating, you absentmindedly scroll through your phone again. This time, you’re on RUclips.
By the time you’ve finished your lunch, another hour has passed. You were supposed to go for a jog to clear your mind and get some exercise, but now you’re feeling sluggish and unmotivated. You decide to skip the jog and just chill on the couch for a bit. You turn on Netflix and start watching a new series. Three episodes later, you realize the entire afternoon has slipped away.
The next morning, you wake up feeling groggy. You didn’t get enough sleep because you stayed up late trying to make up for lost time. You drag yourself out of bed, already dreading the day ahead.
And the cycle continues.

tho sadly brain rot individuals are less likely to watch a 7 minutes video in the first place
@@skyfeelanon skidibi
@skyfeelan at least that means I’m not brainrotted 😅 not that bad anyway. I avoid TikTok like the plague, and the only shorts I really watch are the Land of Boggs cuz they’re funny and smartly written. And I write music so I kinda need to keep up with my channel. I will admit I’m on my phone a bit, but I still do other things. However, I’ve found it increasingly hard to live in the moment nowadays. I kinda miss the days when I didn’t have an account…

Cant watch long videos too they are fast paced as sht
@@marshallthedalmatian2439 i watch long form instead of shorts
Just place a family guy clip under everything
@@AndreiAndreevOSC long form isnt different than tijtoks anymore
that’s why when you go to RUclips it makes you see the shorts instead of the homepage.
The fact that some people think porn addiction can cause a depression which is that true, but the other truth is that the endless scrolling also cause the depression for some weird reason. But yeah, fun fact, I'm 15 and I'm glad I'm not living like a child who's eating while using phone or doing something like that. I really hope this helps me out pretty well but I'm glad I've never had any porn addiction since it's against our religion, but what can I say, this is a best video to save you being suffered from the social media.
Meanwhile I am 15 replying to this comment eating food
Assalamualaikum brother may Allah reward you well❤
wow you really speak like 15
I don't multitask while surfing the internet, but I still feel low after I binge even just for an hour.
sigma! gotta get on that skibidi grind bro, keep it up!
This is a strange thing honestly. Somedays, it's easy to let go, somedays, you just get dragged into a loophole of scrolling for 3 hours, thinking you just spent barely 5 minutes. There's a feeling of guilt, regret of starting to scroll, and yet, it's not easy to stop even then.
The tips are really cool though! Especially socializing in the outside world, it feels great, don't be afraid to start a conversation!
Scrolling is basically like a drug. It takes one short form video for you to do it for hours continuously. It's just so hard to control ourselves with these fast paced content, short from videos have a short duration and it will only make us want to make us watch more. It's to the point people are ADDICTED to short form content, like no joke
I didn't even know that i was about to become a brain rotten kid
Thanks for saving me
you watch jjk it's already too late
@@Pbcvl well true can't argue with that
The thumbnail is AI-generated
So is the voice, honestly with how helpful these types of videos are I'd say it's okay
It takes only 7 days to fix brainrot. LEAVE your phone for 7 days and dont even think of it. PAY attention to your surroundings and learn from them.
I havnt used my phone since 2021 and still brain rotted
I can confirm that this works, every year when I go to a week long overnight camp at the very end of summer, I never bring my phone. Its a super nice yearly reset right before the school year starts
@@Eu125bonilla You may have other issues.
yeah this summer im going on week long vacations like last summer, without phone they seem like ultra long weeks.
Unless I am going to the beach or amusement park for 7 days, I'm never leaving my tablet.
5:59 listen to music, play your favorite game, not online, go camping
Thank you. You just made me self aware of my tendancy to be easily distracted and pointed out how its not a small thing when you get disctracted
I hate the fact that entire media not just social media is so much fast paced after pandemic that avoiding ig and shorts is still gonna lower your attention span i hate this bruh there is no way im enjoying something so overwhelming
Ay bro, this video is about 6:45 minutes longer than people's attention span so how do you expect them to watch it
WHAT THE SIGMA ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!! SKIBIDI TOILET RIZZ NEVER HURT SOMEONE!?!?!
That's not brainrot, that's just modern slang that older people like to call brainrot.
Finnaly someone said it@@skrappothemonster1436
Its true that people in the real world are classified as "BrainRipe" whilst those on the virtual world as "BrainRot" ,
, but funny enough , these terms came solely from internet civillization and serious people dont know or dont give a shit about these things like [your] parents. Now if you are ambitious(which netweebes can never aspire to be), you can suggest from this that information has gotten wayy to informal that terms nowadays used seem stubborn to old people and in formal cases. However , this level of informality has brought serious problems with mental health which you mentioned , but also we can heal our mental health by maintaining the main class of standard informality probably in the case of talking with a friend outside. That's one of a deeper explanation!
Hey, idk if you already know but a channel called Growth Lane stole your video. It has the exact same title and script as this, and it was made more than 2 weeks after this video was uploaded. It has 400k+ views at the moment.
Yeah I saw that too!
One of the only channels that knows how to do an ai thumbnail correctly ✅

yeah
this is actually a really well made infographic man!
I thought it was going to talk about the brain rot humor, I was afraid
skibidi toilet
If youtube never added shorts, my brain would still exist
I have never scrolled on tiktok ONCE,
RUclips adding shorts was a HUUGGEE mistake. Because youtube is an app many kids use, so if shorts didnt exist. Then brainrot wouldve been much less AND kids would still have functioning brains.
This hits so hard after scrolling TikTok for an hour. Glad that at least I am thinking about stop watching TikTok.
Just delete the app entirely
Yeah delete it. I’ve quit TikTok 2 years ago because I was too addicted to it. Trust me it’s worth it. I don’t even miss it at all.
You don't have to delete it, maybe try using it significantly less then before.
3:17 no, it doesn't mean that heavy internet use changes how the brain works. Correlation doesn't imply causation! They could be binging on the internet because they are neurodivergent or their brain is predisposed to have less activity in mentioned areas because of other reasons. And actually this predisposition may cause heavy internet use or other impulsive behavior such as substance abuse. Also getting such statement based on ONE study is just plain stupid. You should change the content of the video IMO, good luck next time!
Let's be honest, we're all victims here.
Can we stop using brainrot in normal conversation. It’s becoming brainrot itself
I wish I´d seen this in 2020. I just had my A Level exams and studying has been a huge struggle with brainrot. The exams went well, but maybe it could´ve gone better if it weren´t for youtube shorts, tiktok and ig reels. Truly the making of the devil
Some advice that I think will help.
1. Put your phone on do not disturb.
- I’ve had my phone on DND for 5 years and it’s great. I think it’s good because you only look at notifications when you make the conscious decision to pick your phone up. If you have notifications on, your phone is constantly vibrating. It’s a stimulus.
2. Ask yourself if you actually want to watch what you’re watching. Did you really intend on watching this or are you stuck in a loop? Keep asking yourself and eventually you’ll be able to catch it and get yourself back to where you were going
3. Rearrange your priorities. Unfollow/unsubscribe from filler things that have no place in your life. Pretty much what this guy says in the end of the video.
thank you, number 2 is a great tip, technology makes you a lot less aware, taking a step back to THINK for a second about what you are doing and the consequence of that action prompts you to not continue feeding into it
Thanks
Me: reading some random stuff
* Notification pops up *
Me: nahh I’ll check it later
* 2hours later duh *
Me: ok maybe tomorrow:
1 months later: 2 0 0 NOTIFICATIONS
Growth Lane copied your video
Hey, I just want to let you know that this guy called “Growth Lane” copied your ENTIRE video script and just voiced it over some random anime clips. Look him up 💀
Brain Rod
I only have brainrot during summer break bc I have nothing to do. However, during school months, I don’t go on TikTok or any social media platforms. I’m too busy studying for tests and doing endless counts of homework.
When it feels scary to jump
That is exactly when you jump
Or you will end up staying

I really needed this, thanks.
You know what's brainrot? A supposedly educational video using the possessive apostrophe wrong. It should be students' for the plural possessive.
skibidi dop sigma mewing looksmaxxing bro thats fake that cap you graduated at yappington university pomni gigachad flow aura rizz
I’m almost 1 year sober of RUclips shorts
Edit: and also I don’t watch tiktok or instagram or anything like that
Bro thats just social media addiction. Brainrot are the tiktok trends that are mostly watched by gen alpha (skibidi toilet, sigma, ecc..)
Then Can som 1 explain Shy had a 84/100 (by de vai im note spek inglech)
I think the channel "Growth Lane" might have plagiarized this video a bit too much.
Gen alpha/gen z here (2011), being in this generation, I can confirm this is true because the trends and stuff are going a little bit far, trends are fine with me, heck I even participate with trends, but brain rot and stuff is a whole new level of slang.
Brainrot means
This video❌
Freakybob👅👍
2:41 that line is just so badass wtf
I don't think this is a bad video, but can you please cite some sources.... You keep mentioning 'studies' but where do they even come from I think it'd be nice if you at the very least mentioned *where* the studies even came from, or even put them in the description for others to see.
Or maybe realize that brainrot isnt that much of a deal and people just making shit up?
i have never paid for any subscription but would pay for RUclips premium if hey added a option to remove shorts
And that's why I never touched Tiktok nor Instagram.
this video is the most relatable video i have ever seen. tysm i dont feel alone anymore on this topic
Cat videos aren’t brainrot? They’re just animals living their lives😭 I had to pause the video for a second after hearing you call cat content ‘brainrot’
fun fact: brainrot enables the brain to practically go into a state of trance, due to this plaque can more easily enter the brain due to no thinking. it can literally up the chances of dementia, so yeah.
source?
it was a joke man but legit i feel like it might be real considering neurons just turn off without ANY brain activity... btw 29 likes what in the what
@@superpear64Y'know you could just disclose that fact because stating something you have no idea is true...
@@EEE-1409 ik but i feel like if i did that it wouldnt really get so many likes and not saying it was a joke makes it haha funnier
@@superpear64 that wasnt a joke, that was misinformation
scroll back up lil bro
I feel bad for people that fell into all this brain rotting stuff. And a bit scared for the future of humanity
I couldn’t agree more with the message this video sends. I just wanted to add some of my own advice with this comment.
It’s so important not to put yourself up to uncomfortably high standards to make your life match the nitpicked good memories people post on social media. You just need to remember that life will never always be “perfect” like social media posts make it out to be and that you as a person still have a lot of time to experience it. When you see other people having fun or being really successful online, don’t beat yourself up about it, because like you, they are human and have their struggles. They just don’t post them so their account doesn’t look bad. You probably wouldn’t either.
Instead of glossing over the highlights of others, work on self-improvement and discovery. Hit the gym, go to college, join a club like the video said, travel, or do whatever you’d like to. These experiences are going to help connect you to real human beings and believe me, once you’ve established a good friend circle, you will begin to feel less affected by social media. You will truly feel like you have a place in life. You wouldn’t even care about how much “better” others might be than you because, you’re happy.
There’s no pressure on you to do anything. Your life is your own life. Just take your time. Don’t let anyone, let alone social media, dictate how you should live it or how quickly.
i dont feel affected by it since i actually dislike using technology but it still seems like good advice
"Womp womp" Is the biggest brainrot of all time.
Seeing it as the response to any sensible statement, especially a serious and sensitive one, absolutely infuriates me like hell
@@daniyal7903 true. R3tards exist.
no its skibidi toilet rizz ohio baby gronk
these are just slangs nothing special. The actual brainrot come from the origins of these slangs
Ughhhh this. This has destroyed my life. It has consumed me, I don't know anything any longer, idk wtf happend
3:12 oh, so that’s why I have a hard time studying. I’m commenting too much, saving memes too much, and watching too much.
Honestly , this video is just too general and does not specifically highlight strategies or two-benefit techniques. The purpose of this video does not correspond to any effective advice that can stop procrastination whilst studying ON THE TABLE , but rather tell to go outside which takes energy and cant resist the dopamine of scrolling. I appreciate how you described the common method of HOW it destroys our life , but need more deep explanation
It's about discipline and learning to be bored.
Have you ever locked your phone away and just sat on the table with nothing but study material until your mind gave up and you started studying?
4:10 I respectfully disagree, if I sum let's say 3 months from my life I would not be able to make such highlight as people in the videos I see.
What might be true is that they worked for it more instead of brainrotting.
On the other hand given the comments I see, I am glad for some things in my life to be better (such that I did attend a meeting with more people).
I normally use the device for educational purposes.
I didn't realise that other people would use the device for meaningless purposes.
did you make the thumbnail with or description ai?
This isn’t brain rot for me at this point anymore, I just wanna be done with existence once and for all but I can’t cause I don’t really have the chance. But once I do get a chance I’ll definitely be out. It’s pretty difficult to be productive in a world u no longer want to live in. But I just gotta pass my time somehow you know, just existing through the day. So I just pick up social media for a few hours or spend the entire day staring at the ceiling. It’s so difficult to pass each day; it’s too long. I wish this could stop, I feel guilty about this brain rot but I can’t do anything to stop it. Don’t tell me to ‘exercise’ or ‘eat healthy’ or just ‘get over it’ im so freaking tired of listening to it all, makes me want to quite being here even more. I feel like this is another big problem of this generation.
Thanks for listening to my rant that no one irl will.
I think from your comment that you're alone, or regretted by people in general.If this is the case then find someone who really cares for you. it may be hard but try, i also suggest you go to therapy they are the best ones who can help you.
I think you should find something to distract yourself that is fun and not internet related like a hobby
Dawg you are on a whole different level 😭
I know my comment probably wont help but no matter how powerless you feel its never too late. You can always just try to fight it and even if you fail its still a step in the right direction. For me therapy helped, but its understandable if you dont want to do that. You could try finding new hobbies or friends that could make you feel less alone, i know it might be hard but you are worth every effort. I havent been in the same situation as you and i couldnt know just how you feel, but I still think that no matter how bad it might be you can overcome it, no matter how hopeless it might seem or how many times you fail. Heck, failing is part of the process and just the fact you want to change is geting you closer to whatever you strive for. Even if i dont know you im really rooting for you and im sorry if anything came off as rude or not understanding.
@@hope2627If you feel that way, you need to take a long vacation somewhere, perhaps somewhere walkable with accessible hobbies in physical places. Whether it be Japan, Peru, France, etc. just get out and do something. Screw your comfort zone, you're already uncomfortable.

Dude I have never felt this feeling it scares me I've never used tiktok I only click on RUclips shorts by accident I don't use social media I'm not social I mainly just play video games maybe RUclips and even then this probably ended up in my recommended because RUclips is bloated with this topic
I recently started meditating 🧘♀️
Nd i pull thru 20 mins but instead of calm black coolness all i hear is my brain repeating " skibdi yeah money cash sigma trust that made my lust with crushmaxxing , ropemaxxing, NicokardoAvocardo,Mr.Beast chocolates are better than hershey"
But i can still solve basic level calculus but its only basic level 😢
my classmates need to watch this video asap 😭
Ditching social media was the best decision i have ever made in my 21 years on this earth, I now only use youtube to watch educational content like this video. I'd be dishonest if I were to tell you that leaving social media was easy, it was not, but I figured that mindfulness and spending time with yourself is much better, I have learned so many things about myself that I wasn't aware of, I now work out quite often and I'm satisfied with the way I look. Be careful out there yall, this world is tough. Loves yous ❤️❤️

Cool video, what software do you use for those blackboard pictures?
I somehow managed to quit RUclips shorts, I jailbroke my phone, removed shorts. Best decision of my life.
I think Vsauce once mentioned:
Being bored: Feels long in the short-term, feels short in the long-term
Watching TV: Feels short in the short-term, feels short in the long-term
Having high-density fun with friends: Feels long in the short-term, feels long in the long-term
To feel like you're making the most out of life, do a lot of social activities that you can easily distinguish from each other (sports, then arts, then... etc)
