Comment with one of your worst dopamine hijackers; something which takes over and hogs your dopamine system, and on New Years Day I'll go through the comments and rank the top ten on how many upvotes they get and edit this post with the results as well as make a new post. Maybe even make a New Years Resolution based on it!

If there are any duplicates only the one with the most upvotes will be counted. Any comments/replies which are chat or reactions will obviously be disregarded from the final count.

Results:

Scrolling
Someone is wrong on the Internet
Phone notifications
Video games
Maladaptive daydreaming
Unfinished projects that should be quick to finish
Sleep-deprivation-induced mania
Alcohol
Reading internet to drown out own thoughts
Expensive hobbies

Wooop! I guess your prize is knowing that your honesty helped everyone to recognise something about their lives that they are not crazy and alone struggling with. It certainly gives me encouragement to stop scrolling so much :)
