For me it's Timehop. I'm kinda addicted to it (currently on a 762-day streak) 🙈 What's yours?

@de Same, Timehop every morning! What's your streak today?
Dan Edwards
@syswarren 762 days 🙈
Abadesi
@de @syswarren No I deleted Timehop so long ago, I'm all about living in the present. That said I consider Instagram a "Guilty Pleasure" because I can't count the time I spend on it productive yet I'm on it soooo much. I love their AI filters 🤓
Hiba Amin
I've been on a Minesweeper Classic tear lately hahah. Good classic but still just as fun
Dan Edwards
@hiba_amin oh wow, a classic for sure!
Astha Sharma
@de I'd say Instagram or Snapchat lol trying to spend less time on them though. Soo impressive with Timehop! I would never last more than a few months.
Dan Edwards
@astha_sharma Hah, I never thought I would to be honest!
Dom
@de TikTok for sure
Phillip Martin
@de no love for Pinterest?? Have to admit I find it weird that its my go to app when stuck at traffic lights but there you go.
Dan Edwards
@phillip_martin I love Pinterest, but don't consider it a guilty pleasure (for me at least)!
Phillip Martin
Fair enough, I'm guessing your probably more productive with it than I am tbh!! anyway feel better about it now ;)
Karming Chin
@de Love scrolling around Flipp each time I hit the bathroom - always gotta check what's on sale haha
Ugo Gessa
@de Product Hunt 4.0 is my guilty pleasure
Bansini Doshi
I’m a bit of an organization-geek, and I’ve been loving how customizable Coda is! I also love the Lightroom app to tinker around with my photos, maybe I’ll post em someday 😂
Ryan Hoover
@de just a little heavy whipping cream in my Philz ;)
Achi Ram
@de Twitter. Wasting too much time there. Punished by the Flying Spaghetti Monster recently by getting kicked out after a series of unfortunate password errors after my phone got stolen. Starting fresh now maybe it will help me kick the habit a bit.
Dan Edwards
@achi_ram yikes! Do you want to simply spend less time on Twitter or none at all?
Akash
Twitter. Sometimes, I have used twitter so much on web that I stop browsing and take my phone in hand to open an app for something else and after browsing through the apps, my hands automatically open the Twitter app.
Abdullah Al Mallak
@de hands down Instagram, anybody has got anyway to beat it's addictive algorithms, please share :)
Dan Edwards
@abdullah_mallak Haha, lots of people saying Instagram!
Dennis
@de @abdullah_mallak Delete it off your phone until it's not a habit, then when you redownload it (if ever) keep all the notifications off. That has worked for me - I honestly barely even check it now.
Abdullah Al Mallak
@de @dennis2 I have the notifications off for almost a year and a half, it's the habit of scrolling endlessly that I need to overcome. but yea might give the deletion a shot. thanks a lot :)
Justin Ahn
@de Instagram, hands down. I even use hashtags #imsecretlyateenager...
Lucas Hogendoorn
Using hashtags would kind of make you the opposite of a normal teenager haha
Jason Hoffer
@de I'm not publicly admitting this but *candy-crush*. oh, did I just do that? :/
Dan Edwards
@jasonhoffer1 I heard nothing 🙉
Jan Kovařík
@de For me it's definitely Netflix, especially when a new series of my favorite show is out.
Dan Edwards
@jankovarik Yeah! What show's are you loving at the moment?
Jan Kovařík
@de I'm going for Rick and Morty, again, from a season 1 - as I saw it only twice before :B
Dan Edwards
@jankovarik Hah! I've still hardly watched Rick and Morty!
Kevin
@de Twitter. But also Journal One, it's funny to see what was on my mind "n" years ago.
Dan Edwards
@keeev Yeah, same for me with Timehop!
Parth Shrivastava
@de Instagram, hands down. Nobody is coming close nowadays.
Dan Edwards
@parth_sh Interesting many others consider Instagram a guilty pleasure, I hadn't even thought of it that way...
Adeline Casagranda
@de For me It'll be "Le Monde" Newspaper, first thing in the morning, and last at night.
Dan Edwards

Kaushik Thirthappa
