In the recent context of air travel, it refers to sitting idly for your entire flight. No books, movies, music, nothing.

TIL, I am a psycho.

Who am I kidding? I always knew.

That sounds... horrible, flying sucks enough as-is I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to even more torture lol

I could see an argument for a waiting room or being in the bathroom with nothing but your own thoughts...but a potentially multi-hour flight?

It sounds like some alpha sigma grindset bullshit a la tate

As long as the plane is quiet, it's not too bad. I usually drift in and out of sleep. Then again most of my flights are around two hours.

It's not about the noise, it's about the awful crammed seats.

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

yeah airplanes really aren't "one size fits all"

I think the argument is, that you will only remember activities, but not idling. So if you're busy during the flight, then you will remember that. But if you do nothing at all, then you won't remember anything. If you don't like flying, that's an advantage, because you won't remember the flight.

I remember when I waste my time. An experience so extremely boring would stay with me long after the fact.

And I am someone who don't sit on my phone on the toilet, because I like being alone with my thoughts.

So that argument really would only work with people who don't think much anyway.

well, I have experienced similar things myself. When I find myself in stressful situations, I just switch off my mind and go forward, because I know that that way I will eventually find a solution to my problems. For example when I have a lot of work to do. If I start doubting, I won't get anywhere. So I have to switch off my mind. And in fact, in retrospect I rarely remember the difficulties that I went through. Maybe, though, that's just my personal experience. Maybe for other people it doesn't work that way.

I do like to travel just listening to music idly, doing nothing else. That’s pretty relaxing for me. Even then, though, I hate planes and airports and the air pressure and how much you feel like a fucking piece of inanimate equipment the airline is just shuffling around for money.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

Yes officer, this post right here

[-] katja@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 months ago

Yeah, sounds fun, but I prefer my dogs cooked. Hot-dogging, as it were.
