ScrollDamage Issue #001: Gotham, Glitter & Digital Delirium

Hey you. Yeah, you—the dopamine-drenched little screen goblin.
You’ve been doomscrolling. Your thumbs are sore. Your brain’s fried.
But lucky for you, we already dove headfirst into the feed-abyss and brought back the good stuff.

Let’s catch you up on what broke the internet this week:

🦇 Florida Man Becomes Batman, And Honestly? It Tracks.

This 22-year-old Jacksonville legend named Michael Hills just dropped $4K on a full-blown cinematic Batman suit… and now he’s patrolling TikTok like it’s Gotham.
We’re talking dramatic monologues. Street confrontations. Parental trauma flashbacks.
The dude has 1.2 million followers and the unwavering brooding energy of someone who lost his parents to theater alley violence—even though he probably just lives with his grandma.

🌞 New Trend Alert: Dilly-Dallying is the New Hustle

Yup, the latest trend isn’t “Grind Mode.”
It’s... loaf mode.

2025 is all about dilly-dallying—slow strolls, idle daydreaming, embroidery, laying in the grass and wondering if you were a snail in a past life.

The girlies (and the bois and the theys) on TikTok are leading the charge:
✨ Rest is resistance. Laziness is luxurious. Hustle is ✨ cringe now ✨.

💃 Will Smith, Doechii & the Dance of Inner Child Healing

Will Smith and Tatyana Ali reunited to do their classic Fresh Prince dance…
Except now it’s set to Doechii’s “Anxiety.”

And yes, it’s viral. Like, double viral.
Gen Z is all over it, turning it into a nostalgic-therapy-core remix.
We’re healing our trauma and hitting the Carlton? Iconic.

⚠️ TikTok's 'Chubby Filter' Sparks a Digital Backlash

AI filters: sometimes cute, sometimes deeply cursed.
This week’s villain? The "Chubby" filter—which puffs up your face and is being used in "haha look at me fat" jokes. And yeah, it’s rubbing people the wrong way.

It’s 2025 and we still have to remind folks that mocking bodies ≠ humor.
Expect think pieces, duets, callouts, and yes... memes about the memes.

🧠 TL;DR Scroll-Damaged Recap:

• There’s a Batman in Florida and he might be hotter than Robert Pattinson.

• Doing nothing is now everything.

• Nostalgia’s back and it brought its therapist.

• TikTok filters remain both magical and mildly toxic.
