Have you seen the outside?? www.nytimes.com/2024/10/05/u...

A Nation of Homebodies

A recent study shows Americans are spending notably more time at home, a trend that started long before the pandemic.

Being at home for 2 hours a day is considered a lot?

Does this include working from home? That would explain the huge pandemic jump.

I do less because I don't want to get shot. It's not a huge factor in my decision making. It is a factor

I have .... and I am staying home 🏡 never liked many of u anyways 😉

I was doing the shut-in before it was cool.

Yes? Every day?

We can now see the air quality on radar. me: “Should I go out for a run?” air quality: “Hazardous, ozone and fine particulate.” me: “Maybe a glass of wine and a bag of potato chips…”

And *heard* the outside. Where I live, I pretty much can't go out for a walk without earplugs.

I go out often enough but I still prefer to chill at home.

Just looking at the thumbnail, it seems really disingenuous to say “more people are staying at home, a trend that started…” Unless the next phrase is “…with MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DYING from a GLOBAL PANDEMIC that has LASTED YEARS.”
