At my job, we have neither signal nor wifi in certain places (bathroom in the basement). So would appreciate tips on apps to kill five minutes.

Duolingo. You can waste time and learn something. There are countless other apps that help you learn stuff.

I find Duolingo far too parasocial. Their “come back to the lessons” mails and stuff really knocked me off.

You can disable them in the settings iirc.

Yep, I also liked having the daily reminders because that’s when I’d go and do them

Yeah you can just turn those off. I only get a reminder once a day, just on my phone, not via mail. And it’s a silent notification.

But my point was not to sell people on duolingo, my point was to sell people on doing something productive rather than play a silly game.

Oh sweet! I didn’t know that. My precious 500 day streak is a little better protected thanks to you.
