What Does This Mean?
The flat, depleted mental state that follows an extended scrolling session — not relaxation, but a specific kind of exhaustion from continuous low-effort visual and emotional processing.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I scrolled for two hours on the couch and somehow feel more drained than if I'd actually done something. Pure scroll fatigue."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerged in wellness and tech-criticism writing around 2021-2022 as a counterpoint to the idea that scrolling is 'resting,' naming the specific tired-but-wired feeling users reported after long sessions that technically required no physical effort at all.
