Doesn't have to be a tangible thing that you consume. Living in a golden age of creativity is the biggest little treat of all.

I really enjoy watching YouTube more than things on subscription services. It’s a privilege to have a peak at people’s creativity.
Also, maybe I live in a third world country. People’s realities are often very difficult, but I‘m thankful there’s simple things that we can enjoy, like fresh fruits and the fact there’s no seasons. Every day of the year is almost the same and the weather depends on the city where you’re at, which in my opinion is way better than having to adjust to four different seasons 🌺

I’ll preface this by saying you should probably actually just go touch grass or socialize or do something creative/productive with your newfound time surplus, BUT when those aren’t options you should look for a video on a topic that interests you! crack open that laptop, sit on the couch, and watch someone go really unnecessarily in depth about some topic they’ve poured themselves into. give it your full undivided attention like it’s that day in school where they roll a big TV in and play a nature documentary

I guess we should never say never (like maybe generative AI will be able to make all sorts of videos in a couple years but let's not think too much about that :P), but I'm glad to reduce my intake of easily generated content like street interviews, gaming streams (which I was never into anyway), or like "20 locations you're NEVER allowed to go" listicle videos, and to increase my intake of stuff like "watch me renovate this dilapidated house over 40 weeks", "I traveled from San Francisco to Seattle using only public transit: Day 1", "here's the life story of this person whose grave I found in a forgotten cemetery in the middle of the woods in rhode island", etc. I love a really longform video where I'm like "there's no way to get AI to make this for you"
(video examples are from Tia Weston, AdamDoesNotExist, and Dime Store Adventures, respectively!)

One of the few apps with no ephemeral "story" feature or whatever so you don't need to check it every 24 hours. Cherish this.

It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
