rotted mode

The active state of being fully in your rotted era — when you've surrendered to the chaotic pull of the internet and stopped fighting the brain rot. Rotted mode isn't a lapse, it's a choice: phone in hand, no plans, consuming content of questionable quality and uncertain origin for hours without guilt or apology. It's distinguished from passive rotting by its intentionality — you're not spiraling, you're deliberately sitting in the pit and enjoying it. Often declared before a weekend with nothing to do and zero ambition to fix that.
