Smoke weed and drink beer.
If I want to watch something, I’m going to sit down and only watch the thing.
Almost always. As others have said its sorta the opposite. I throw things on in the background while doing other stuff. When I have the rare thing of something I really want to watch which like most of the time involves me and my wife watching together. Then its just the show. Most of the time the show or movie we really want to see ends in disappointment (the dog in superman to us was the only good thing and fantastic four was rather disappointing outside of some special effects)
yeah really wanted fantastic four cgi
I usually sit.
If a show isn’t worth paying my full (visusl) attention to, it’s not worth watching at all.
I try not to do that.
But sometimes the scene is really dry or too cringe for me.
I’ll catch myself texting people or browsing image galleries.
I’m not interested in movies/tv shows that you can follow without paying attention, so no.
Nope. I watch movies /TV Shows with focus. If I need to do something (example attend a phone call), I will pause the movie.
I can’t do parallel work while watching.
Same. I was gifted a book called the “myth of multitasking”… I feel like I don’t need to read it to get the gist.
Reflect on childhood PTSD, sometimes the parallels are too similar and I cry.
If it gets too boring, change VLC setting to 1.25 or 1.5
No. If I lose focus or get distracted, it means whatever I’m watching isn’t worth it, and I’ll switch to something else.

I play sudoku, get distracted, rewind. Keeps me busy.
Depends how much I care about what I’m watching. If I’m invested it has all my interest, otherwise it’s probably background noise for whatever else I’m doing. Usually browsing the fediverse, chatting with friends, or shopping for shit I don’t need
Write code. Whatever side-project happens to be capturing my attention at the moment.
Occasionally play video games. Or Lemmy.
Most TV and cinema I try to appreciate and analyse as a medium. Its a visual medium and constantly changing.
Needs attention for analysis.
Now i do sometimes watch some braindead TV or movies too although you can always take away something from them too, they require a lil less attention.
- So 90% of the time no distractions.
- 10% of the time I might use my phone, or if I’m watching smth on my phone walk to my kitchen or talk to someone I’m with etc.
Yep. I have Bluetooth headphones so I can wander the house freely. Tidying up, cooking, hobby projects here and there, picking out the dead leaves and buds on houseplants.
Some TV shows warrant full attention, but some I just listen to half of it. Some I rewatch as a comfort.
