“While the older crowd tends to look down on the younger generation having their attention span zapped from tiktok algorithms, they may be shocked that their habit of opening up the only game available at their computer lab and randomly aimlessly clicking tiles was actually one of the first recorded examples of brain rot” Explained Professor Leonard Hucksby (49).
The study went on to argue that this mindless clicking could have been a precursor to the zombie-like state we now find ourselves in, thanks to today’s endless supply of brain-numbing online distractions.
“Sure, it was just a simple desktop game, but it’s clear that the seeds of modern brain rot were planted with this pass time that came out of the early digital age” the professor said, sighing heavily as he adjusted his glasses, clearly over the entire discussion.
When asked if there was any hope for those early pioneers that discovered Minesweeper brain rot, Professor Hucksby replied.
“Well, the best we can do is maybe teach them how to flag a mine properly. It’s a start.”
“I’m convinced we’ll be seeing research papers in the future about how Minesweeper clicked randomly on a Dell computer was the real cause of the attention span crisis, and not Tiktok
