I was wondering who the hell still watches TV. My whole life is on my computer

Don’t have TV for almost 20 years now, don’t miss it a bit. There’s only crap on TV, nothing I wanna waste my time on, and adverts all over the place. Who wants that?

Scrilling Lenmie.

imagine someone spending most od the time on watching TV. I hate TV

Things I do:

Wood carving (I mostly make small pedants)

Aquarium stuff

Designing my own ttrpg system

Cooking & baking

Writing diary

Smoking Weed

I have TV, but I don’t use it. I mostly use computers for games, and coding…

Gaming is more fun than programmes for me as I like my usage to be interactive rather than passively consuming.

I have only a projector. It means I can only watch TV at night. It’s been good for me as I read more

I have a TV but without connection to any “linear TV” service. I use it as big monitors for my computer.

For entertainment there are streaming services like Prime Video. I also use Twitch a lot.

I bought a projector and purposely didn’t buy blackout blinds for the room it’s in. It means when the weather is nice outside, I can’t sit on the couch and waste time. If I’m desperate or sick then I’ll use my laptop.

It ended up in me spending a lot more time outdoors and getting back into climbing. Keeps me healthier and sane tbh.

I don’t understand how you can watch tv with all of the other things you could be doing tbh.

I’m my mind, sitting in front of a device that only lets me watch things it decides on the timeframes it decides whilst blasting me with ads is one of the last things I want to do with my time.

Almost anything is better

I do have small kids and thus not a lot of time for myself. The time I do have I spend on martial arts, kettlebells, learning to play the guitar or just hanging on the couch reading and trying not to fall asleep. If the kids are awake I’m mostly doing stuff with them like playing with Lego, role playing or whatever they feel like in the moment.

Spend some time with the kids, go for a walk with the dog (and kids), read, relax, work out, buy groceries, watch shows / movies on a laptop, make love, play games on a PC, go out, go for a drink, meet with friends… so many possibilities

We do have a TV set but it’s used only for things that could be rather easily done on a variety of other devices, like gaming and streaming. So what do you do that necessitates a TV set?

Sleep and escape from reality

Good books and weed

We don’t have cable, just internet. We mainly watch content on Plex that I have locally.
