In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Purging my phone of 'fun' has been the best decision I've made. No games and no social media.
If I want to doomscroll, I have to use desktop, which is an infinitely worse experience, especially for mobile optimised apps like instagram.
My phone is now the most boring piece of technology I own.
