Basically, where do you go online or on your phone when you just need a distraction and don't have the energy or mental bandwidth to read something in-depth? Games and apps are okay, too.
I appreciate the community and the quality of discussions that are had here on Tildes, but sometimes, I just want to veg. I basically want to scroll through a large supply of pictures, memes, short-form videos, but without the toxicity and manipulation that comes with the main social media platforms. I don't think I need to create a whole list, I think we all know what the main social media sites are to avoid.
And I also want to distinguish this topic from other "where do you get your news from" or "what are some interesting feeds you're subscribed to" topics. I'm looking for easily digestible and mostly positive/happy/funny things to consume. Where do you regularly turn to when you just want a distraction?

Akin to this: https://tildes.net/~tech/1670/redditors_of_tildes_which_subreddits_are_you_missing_the_most_during_the_blackout
What can we leave behind?
What should we leave behind?For me, the one BIG thing is the stupid puns.
Threads full and full and full of puns, one after the other.Case in point:
https://tildes.net/~movies/16bf/chasing_horse_faces_sex_assault_chargesI can so live without that side of reddit.
edit: Yeah, that "thread" is two comments long, but I just got reddit flashbacks just seeing those.
