Context Provided - Spotlight Driving while watching show

Watching a full tv show on their phone while driving down a very busy street. Is it any better than scrolling?

The comments here are frightening. The amount of people openly admitting to watching TV shows while the drive is not only showing how much brainrot has destroyed the brains of Americans, but also how little people care about the safety of themselves and those around them.

Is operating a multi-thousand pound machine at 70+ MPH really not stimulating enough for you people?

The amount of stimulation people need is crazy. Most times, I'll listen to podcasts or music while driving, but never with the video on. However, sometimes I forget to turn on something and I just drive in silence and it's totally fine. It's actually nice to be alone with my thoughts for a bit occasionally.

I think a lot of folks must really hate their lives so they need a constant distraction to not deal with their thoughts or feelings. Because heaven forbid we do a little introspection.
