Ask MetaFilter: Why Am I Addicted to the Internet?

zachawry: Your brain gives you a little shot of dopamine every time it gains another piece of information. Yep, the Internet uses the same neural positive feedback mechanism as cocaine.

jessamyn: Temple Grandin has a quote about how the "seeking behavior" is a more powerful brain feelgood motivator than nearly anything else, more than food, sex, whatever...it's turning in to a place where things are happening and wondering "What happens next?" and looking to find out.

Temple Grandin:

We have a lot of evidence that the reason a drug like cocaine feels good is that it's intensely stimulating to the SEEKING system in the brain, not to any pleasure center...that's what feels good: being excited about things and intensely interested in what's going on -- being what people used to call "high on life!"

...Humans enjoy any kind of hunt: they like hunting through flea markets for hidden finds; they like hunting for answers to medical problems on the Internet; they like hunting for the ultimate meaning of life in church or in a philosophy seminar. All of those activities come out of the same system in the brain.

Not only does this make perfect sense re: my tendency to browse the Internet endlessly in hopes of finding cool stuff, but it also explains why I'll read ONTD live discussions of things like Sister Wives that I don't even watch. It's my brain going "Oh my god! Everyone's so excited about this! What will happen next??"

tl;dr version of this post: Tumblr = cocaine.

Not to mention her delicate, child-sized axe. That thing couldn't cut a cantelope in half, let alone take off a dude's head!

Aw! Remember when our kitties were little and they liked each other? I can't, since they've spent so many of the intervening years not liking each other.

There was a glee club at Greendale, and their bus was driving on a rainy night, and a downed power line was hanging across the road, and the bus drove through it, and it sliced through the bus and decapitated everyone, row by row, so that the people in the back had to watch all their friends get decapitated, then they got decapitated, and then the bus drove into a pool of lava. And I guess the crazy thing is, the electricity from the power line somehow kept their nervous systems "alive," so they could feel the lava. They didn't escape the pain of the lava just because they didn't have heads. They felt the lava. It was terrible but it was not metaphorical in any way. I would never be that petty and envious of another show's popularity.
