I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without.

I feel like if your hearing was good enough to hear people’s heartbeats you would have a much better understanding of their mood, emotions etc. I imagine when people say that animals can “smell fear” or similar, this is actually what’s going on. Likewise you’d probably also hear everyone’s digestion so that might be a bit gross.
What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games?
