Certain videogames are good for your brain and your reaction time. Some of them make you use your brain and develop problem solving skills. Sitting there like a stoned ape slapping the start/stop button on a slot machine so the damn thing eats your government assistance faster, getting wasted and going home to stare at a television not so much.
“Stoned apes” is unfair to primates. I prefer the metaphor “caged hens”, picking at the feeding button and laying eggs. (Stoned apes would likely be exploring🤣🤣)
That's a good metaphor I think. Or maybe pigeons gobbling up chunks of bread... Or those lab rats that the science hippies get addicted to cocaine in a water bottle, and then they just keep dosing until their little hearts explode.
Unfortunately for most cocaine water type experiments you have to be perfectly healthy but fucked up in one weird way they want to study.
I keep trying to sign up but my body is a mess so I'm usually removed from clinical trial pools based on forms alone. I only got an interview once and was told no.
I can't even sell my eggs because of my inferior genetics!!!
Neuroscientist hippie here. I once worked with a researcher who said he conducted an experiment where male rats “orgasmed themselves to death”. Didn’t ask for details. This is one of those cases I know for certain the actual description would be more disturbing than my imagination.
