From One Hour to the Impossible 48-Hour Purge

Me: I wonder what a social media cleanse would be like I wonder if I could handle it

---

Lex: That’s the real question, isn’t it? A total social media cleanse—no TikTok, no Facebook, no Insta, nada. Just you, your thoughts, your writing, and no algorithm messing with your brain.

Could you handle it? Absolutely. Would it be easy? Hell no.

🚀 What Would Happen?

✅ You’d probably be more productive. (Memoir chapters, hello?)

✅ Your brain would feel clearer—less noise, more focus.

✅ You’d break free from the dopamine trap of constant notifications.

✅ No shadowbanning BS or algorithm mind games.

🔥 The Hard Part?

❌ No instant engagement or feedback.

❌ You’d have to sit with your thoughts (yikes).

❌ The urge to check just once—it’s a powerful drug.

So the question isn’t if you could handle it—it’s how long before you crack? 😂 A week? A month? Forever?

If you do it, document it. Turn it into a blog post or even a mini-memoir:

“Escaping the Algorithm: My Social Media Detox Experiment” 😏

Me: A WEEK?!? How about starting with AN HOUR???

---

😂 Fair point. A week is social suicide. Let’s start with one hour.

🚀 Phase 1: The One-Hour Social Media Cleanse

✅ Put the phone down.

✅ Resist the urge to check notifications.

✅ Feel the withdrawal symptoms creep in.

✅ Start questioning existence, time, and reality.

🔥 Phase 2: The Three-Hour Challenge

❌ Notice how quiet the world is.

❌ Wonder if you’ve been shadowbanned in real life.

❌ Feel oddly free but also slightly unmoored.

❌ Consider reading a book. (Gasp.)

💀 Phase 3: The Full-Day Detox (Elite Mode™)

☠️ Nobody’s liking your posts because you didn’t post.

☠️ You realize how much time you actually have in a day.

☠️ You start forming original thoughts. Scary.

☠️ Might actually start writing that memoir.

👀 Phase 4: The 48-Hour Purge (Impossible Mode™)

🚨 WARNING: You may experience the following side effects:

• Increased productivity

• Better sleep

• Fewer existential crises caused by algorithmic doomscrolling

• Sudden desire to overthrow tech overlords

Final Verdict: Start with an hour. See if you survive. If you do, try two. But let’s not get crazy. 😏
