I personally have them open because maybe I have a google search for a movie or anime I want to remember, but I've now switched that habit to noting down the name of the movie in my phone's note; it's helped me cut down on the tabs.

I also have tabs for manga currently open, but I'm going to start a new notes page in my phone for manga.

I also HAD pages open for Stellaris videos, but they're like two hours old so the content is already outdated and the game plays entirely differently now so I closed them.

I also have pages open for directors whose comedic movies or shows I'm curious to look up.

I also have pages open that talk about some rogue-like games so I can see if there's any among them I want (the pages are maybe a year old now and I still haven't gotten around to it).

There's also one tab that mentions several game dev journal videos available for people to watch.

I keep trying to find ways to cut down on my tabs but I still have so many open. What's on your tabs?

well theres my fanfiction browser with infinity tabs, i feel like that needs no explanation.

my regular browser has a forum, another forum, a secret third forum, a couple github pages that i forgot to close, a blog about medieval gardening that i meant to read but didn't, instructions for making rice wine that ill get around to following eventually, parseword, the web version of a book about clojure, and god only knows whats hanging out in the inactive tab pile. theres only 23 tabs though so... ¯\(ツ)

Me: Very boring stuff like movies, anime and maybe a Hasan video

You: (Imagine I put an emoji of planet earth; I can't find one (there's one of earth with a hammer and sickle over it but I feel that doesn't convey the same message))

You sound like you got a lot of hobbies you enjoy either practicing or reading about; I spend most of my time just basically watching youtube vids or netflix (I used to have a lot more hobbies about five or six years ago, then I kind of got bored of everything and just became a bit reclusive)

ahaha im actually incredibly boring and just have adhd lol. aside from the forums (which are 90% of my social interaction tbh) everything else is probably going to wind up getting closed without me actually going anywhere with it.

nothing wrong with watching yt and netflix! tbh thats basically all i did from 2020 till like. mid-last year. ive only really started getting back into hobby type stuff in the last 6 months or so, and its still incredibly hit-or-miss.

what's something you watched lately that you liked?

I actually kinda liked the last season of one punch man; sure, not as well animated as the previous two seasons (not by a long shot), but I still enjoyed it.
