Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

I like how everyone is answering the literal question asked (is it possible? Yes!) and no one is picking up on the extremely obviously implied question of “how?”

(I don’t know how or I’d answer)

It’s muscle memory. I’ve been opening Apollo several times an hour for like a decade. The only way I’ve been able to stop being in Reddit constantly has been to put Lemmy into Apollo’s former place in my phone’s Home Screen.

That really sounds like a verb for the thing I do with my second Reddit account.
