I guess X (formerly Twitter) must not be his thing as the social media app has avoided being involved in the law suit it appears. We've all been there. You check your notifications then refresh. It can become an endless cycle as your go between the many social media apps available on your phone. Does he have a point with this lawsuit that social media has become too addicting?
Man Suing Social Media Apps For Being Too Addicting
It seems like social media has taken over our lives. We're on it, our friends and family are on it, even all of our favorite brands can be found actively posting on all of the apps. People are on their phones more than ever before. Have apps like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok become too addicting? According to one man, it has!
According to Indian Express, the 24-year-old from Montreal, Canada started using social media in 2015 and claims to have since suffered from productivity issues and negative views towards his body image. Yup, that's social media! That's what we put ourselves through on a daily basis as we submerge ourselves in comparison culture. Why don't we look like the people we're seeing on our screens? Why don't my videos get that many views? It's easy to get lost in the pressures and stress that comes along with being on social media. We all go through it.
Now, the 24-year-old reportedly limits himself to 2 hours of social media use per day but he alleges that it continues to mess with his productivity and quality of sleep, per Indian Express. Now, he's taking the matter to court. Indian Express reports a Montreal-based law firm is handling the case which specifically names TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube claiming these platforms have been designed to increase dopamine secretion, which causes addition. The lawsuit claims these companies were aware and designed the applications to have its users be dependent on them. It's going to be an interesting case. I'm sure many of us often feel like we're addicted to it and would love to escape the world of social media--but we can't. Is it addiction that brings us back or a fear of missing out (FOMO)?
How do you think this case will end? Do you think he has a point?
5 ‘Off The Chain’ Burgers Guy Fieri Ate On ‘Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives’
Guy Fieri has showcased some mouth-watering burgers on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives but are these 5 of the best? We're rolling out to find the best Flavortown has to offer!
Guy totally has the best job ever, right? He gets to travel the country (er, world) and try the best food he can find in Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Then, he has several more fun shows and it's clear he's living all of our dreams. He's shown us thousands of meals, but are these the best looking burgers featured on the show?
5 'Off The Chain' Burgers Guy Fieri Ate On 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives'
One of my favorite things about traveling to different cities is checking out restaurants that Guy Fieri went to on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives in said city. I can't travel and not check out at least one restaurant that was featured on the show. No matter where you are or where you're visiting, chances are high that Guy has been there and has showcased a restaurant in that city.
On Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Guy Fieri eats all kinds of meals. There are common ones you can find at every restaurant and more unique offerings exclusive to that restaurant. He tries them all! As long as there aren't any eggs, he usually will end up liking the dish. It's always funny to watch his face when eggs get introduced knowing that he absolutely hates them. However, some of the most mouth-watering foods shown on the show are often the most simple. You never have to travel very far to find a burger--but the burgers shown on the show are typically far from ordinary. There is a reason he's showing us it, after all.
Some of the burgers are greasy spoon-style, some will have unique ingredients, and others are completely deconstructed and I don't know if you can call them "burgers" at all! By only choosing 5 "off the chain" (as Guy would say) burgers means we're leaving a lot of good ones out. For example, Guy some heavy metal-inspired burgers in Chicago that didn't make the list, neither did the impressive green chile burger.
Do you have a favorite burger that was featured on the show? Let us know where it is! I can add it to the list and we can check it out! Here are 5 of the most mouth-watering burgers I've seen featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.
Cheesy 'Mac Attack' Burger
During his trip to Somerville, Massachusetts Guy stopped at the Boston Burger Company and tried the Mac Attack. Have you ever had a burger with mac and cheese on it? If you haven't you will want to after watching him try one on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. It's a full serving of mac and cheese! Guy loved the way the bun absorbed all the craziness. I'm not even a big fan of mac and cheese, but even I want to try this.
Meatball Burger
While visiting Atlanta, Georgia Guy visited the Inman Park neighborhood to showcase a spot the locals love. It's called Folk Art and they specialize in Southern Hospitality. One of their more unique menu offerings is a Meatball Burger. I've never seen anything like this burger. It has marinara and combines the best of burger and meatball sandwich. It's sloppy, it's messy, it's what I want. It's a fresh perspective on the Sunday Italian Family Dinner, as Guy points out.
Peanut Butter Burger
Utah isn't famous for its food, but that doesn't mean you can't find a good meal. Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives featured a restaurant called Sabores in Logan. The chef has an impressive resume including cooking for some Presidents. Now, he's serving up delicious food from around the world. However, one thing that caught Guy's attention was the Peanut Butter Burger. You can see the customer's faces light up as they talk about it. Not only does it have peanut butter but also bacon, cheese, and curry aioli. Don't knock it until you try it!
Korean-Inspired Umami Burger
Sometimes, Guy will visit tiny towns across rural America. In other episodes, he goes big showing off some food in the biggest cities in the country. That was the case when he visited bopNgrill in Chicago. During the intro video, Guy even details some of the epic burgers they've featured on the show. They are doing some awesome fusion here putting an Asian-spin on some all-American classics. This unique burger is topped with truffled mushroom duxelles, sun-dried tomato confit, and togarashi mayo. It sounds and looks unbelievable.
Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger
Guy Fieri visited the campus of The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and tried the famous Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger. If you're looking for a greasy spoon-style burger it's hard to find one better than this one. Believe it or not, college kids know a thing or 2 about late-night eats and dives. They didn't get this one wrong. It's an Ann Arbor institution and the pride of the University! Okay, well maybe outside of football and education.
