  • Summary

  • Brainrot is a colloquial term used to describe a state of mental fatigue and cognitive decline often associated with excessive consumption of low-quality online content. This phenomenon is characterized by a diminished attention span, difficulty concentrating, and a general feeling of mental sluggishness. Constant exposure to short-form videos, social media feeds, and the endless scroll of the internet can contribute to this cognitive decline. While not a formally diagnosed condition, brainrot reflects the growing concern about the impact of excessive screen time on cognitive function. The constant bombardment of information, often presented in a fragmented and superficial manner, can overload the brain, making it difficult to focus on deeper tasks and engage in critical thinking. This can manifest in various ways, such as difficulty remembering information, increased impulsivity, and a general feeling of being overwhelmed and disoriented. Learn more about your ad choices.
