Digital Wellness Gurus advise smartphone addicts to change their lock screen to say:
What For?
Why Now?
What Else?
That’s fine. But it sure involves a lot of brainpower.
We at Farewell Project prefer a simpler solution.
An Image. A Jarring Image. Something that immediately causes the viewer to recoil in horror, regurgitate a swallow of vomit into the back of their throat, and drop the smartphone altogether.
Is that too drastic? You bet your ass it is. But we at Farewell Project take the screen scourge seriously.
“What Now?” won’t stop anybody. We all will blast right through that Stop Sign.
If you are ready to be earnest about smartphone addiction then you need heavy hitters.
You require images so vile, so disturbing, so disgusting that they make you drop your device into a blender and spin that smartphone on high.
This is war. And if you want to win, you’re going to have to get down into the muck.
Think of this as your cleansing mud bath for your brain. We’ll slather soupy mud all over your frontal cortex, your backal backtex, and your middle middletex.
At first you’ll be frozen in fear. But as you squeegee away the blinding sludge, you will be reborn again as a real human being with a baby’s brain as innocent as an infant sunflower at dawn.
But first, you need to see some sincerely bad shit. If you dare…
Now go make that your smartphone lock screen wallpaper. Your life depends on it…
