Scott and SadieEver tried making small talk with people who don’t watch TV? Yeah, it’s rough. First, you realize all your witty pop culture references are useless. Then, you’re left with the dreaded fallback: “So, uh… nice weather we’re having?”
Someone on social media asked, “People who don’t watch TV: How do you spend your time?” The responses were… enlightening. Let’s break them down:
1. Reading
This was the top response, which makes sense. But let’s be real—choosing between books and binge-watching a series isn’t easy. We respect their commitment.
2. Gaming
Young people dive into online games, while older adults stick to board games, card games, and mobile apps. So basically, everyone’s still staring at screens—just different ones.
3. Scrolling Social Media
Sure, some people claim they don’t watch TV, but they do spend hours doomscrolling. Is that better? Debatable.
4. Home Improvement
Fixing stuff around the house counts as entertainment, right? Power tools are basically the action movies of the DIY world.
5. Hobbies
From woodworking to crafting, these folks have mastered productive distractions. Meanwhile, our biggest hobby is rewatching The Office.
6. Relaxing Activities
Knitting, puzzles, and other zen hobbies help them unwind. We just fall asleep in front of Netflix.
7. Exercise
Walking, gym sessions, and sports keep them fit. Meanwhile, our daily workout is lifting the remote.
8. Family Time
Spending quality time with family, pets, and significant others. But let’s be honest—the cat probably wishes they had a TV.
9. Podcasts & Music
Listening to music, podcasts, and the radio. Some even play instruments, because overachieving is apparently a thing.
10. Sleeping
This one we can get behind.
11. Watching… Walls?
Some people admitted to literally watching their walls. That’s… a choice.
12. Virtual Travel
Google Maps and YouTube take them on adventures. Hey, whatever works.
13. Police Bodycam Videos
Crime junkies, but without the commitment of a full TV series.
14. Uh… “Other Activities”
One person just said “mostly sex.” No further questions.
So, what about you? Could you give up TV, or are you clutching your remote tighter than ever? Let us know in the comments, and don’t forget to share this with your TV-loving (or avoiding) friends!
