    When I found the video playback speed controller extension for my browser, it vastly increased the amount of video I could consume.

    There is a downside to it though, once you reach the point where you are watching video at 3x speed, you have to remind yourself to take frequent breaks.

    Otherwise, your brain clock will synchronize with the 3x speed and after a few hours of being exposed to that the rest of existence will feel unbearably slow for quite a long time.

    Ask me how I know this.

    I’ll be glad to explain to you in detail the sensation of lifting my arm to close a video and feeling like it took a solid minute for my hand to move from my arm rest to the mouth to click the button.

    How it felt to drive home from work once I had synced up and doing 65 mph on the freeway and feeling like I barely had the vehicle in idle.

    That shit is great for absorbing a lot of information but actual fucking body horror to experience outside of that narrow use case
