I never want to hear the term ‘calorie deficit’ on the internet again
I try to scroll Instagram. First of all, ‘try’, because my distracted ass stumbles over no-good reels of contour videos to make my hippo nose ‘snatched’ (whatever that means), to wear my scarf five ways (whatever that means), and watch people born after the year 2000 commodify every little aspect of their life like an ‘everything must go’ sale. The recommendation engines are way off. It’s like the compass Christopher Columbus used to try to find India, off-course by about a million miles.
