Study Finds Social Media Harder To Resist Than Cigarettes, Alcohol

Posted by samzenpus on from the friends-list-fix dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Checking a Twitter, Facebook or email account for updates may be more tempting than alcohol and cigarettes, according to researchers who tried to measure how well people regulate their daily desires. Researchers also found that while sleep and sex may be stronger urges than certain drug addictions, people are more likely to give in to their addiction to use social or other types of media."

    It's really efficient having no friends. Now, you know what I cannot resist, however? Lesbian porn.

    What you like is pretendsbian porn.
    Actual lesbian porn is disgusting, just like actual lesbians.
