713: New Mediocre
Facebook and Depression, Highlight Reels, Social Media Fatigue
The hosts discuss a study suggesting that Facebook usage can lead to depression because users compare their daily lives to the "highlight reels" of others. They joke about the platform's negative impact on mental health and its role in creating a "blubbering mess" of a population. Curry also mocks the irony of NORAD being able to "track Santa" but failing to detect a gyrocopter over Washington D.C.
