Apparently this guy can't multitask. I'm currently doing at least 3 of the actions at once

This is why we're getting 1) fat and 2) socially distant as a nation. Doesn't anyone take a walk anymore? Maybe go to the bar with your friends?

@dtemp: If you would have only done a little bit of internets research you'll see there is a database of why we're fat actually.

@NurseDave: Excellent research goes on there. I have been introduced to that site before. +1 for images of deep fried twinkees in the shape of stonehenge that will, indeed, make you fat. Don't visit that site if you just ate.

I laugh at this. Ha! My diet is 6 hours of Gizmodo, 4 hours of gaming, 4 hours of entertainment, 3 hours of social networking, 1 hour screwing with my website and posting links to it on Facebook, and 1 hour of working. And I just spent about 30 seconds contemplating the spelling of, "hours." It's an odd spelling, eh? Oh, and 3 hours of sleep.

@Mike: Could that be why what you're screwing is your website?

ZIG!

I would have to disagree (from my personal perspective of course) with both the number of hours and the portions. For example, where is the "music" category. For some that is part of entertainment, but for me it's its own category that usually averages 2-4 hours a day. Also, 2.5 hrs of news- I watch / read no traditional news, unless I'm at work and something happens (like a celebrity dying). I don't use twitter at all (even though I have an account), and I often combing my online social networking (facebook, linkedin) with my "offline" (SMS, MMS, personal email).

Oh, also I ONLY watch tv from the internet and I usually calculate my gaming time in hrs/week. (currently as of sunday it's been .5hrs.)
Man, I'm pathetic.

So... sleep for 9 hours, news for 9 hours, work/school for 6 hours?

What about social interaction with other humans through analog methods? Grocery shopping? Driving?

I guess it's not necessary if you live in your parents' basement...

@thanq: A few of these things could be used as actual social activities. Like watching a movie with someone, playing videogames with friends, or sitting around listening to music.

Although none of this would pertain to the basement dwelling type. They're a lost cause.
