nice man. My phone has been in split screen 90% of the time since I think Android 8. Plex or YouTube revanced up top, Lemmy or Reddit on the bottom.
I really don't get how people enjoy consuming two sources of information at once. Every time I try to watch something while doing something else, I get frustrated at how I'm unable to properly focus on one thing.
For me it's just nice having something in the background, just something you're not actually trying to pay too much attention to, episodes of a show you've already seen, long twitch vods, stuff like that.
I've heard many people say that, but I don't really rewatch shows, and when I do, I still want to focus on them. I also don't really watch live streams or vods, but just like rewatching things, if I choose to do so, I want to take it all in. It kind of irks me hearing half a conversation. When I put something like that on in the background, I keep rewinding a few seconds so I can hear all of the conversation. Idk, for background entertainment music works best for me, personally.
when I was a kid I would doodle in class because it was easier to pay attention to the teacher when I was doing something else
Sounds like you do not have ADHD lol
Idk, there are several things pointing towards me having ADHD, but I haven't looked for a diagnosis. For some reason it just really irks me to hear half of a conversation, so I keep going back to my "background" media to rewind so I can hear everything.
