The best part is "at least one". What's the breakdown of more than one shock?

Found underlying data.

I'm going to need the graph above that. How many shocked themselves to get aroused?

So a shock reduced arousal but increased boredom?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Bored people give themselves a bunch of painful shocks and when that isn't enough to feel alive they increase the amperage of the shocks. Really the perfect metaphor of all of us using doomscrolling on social media.

If I’m reading this right, the average bored person shocked themselves every 2 minutes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Or shocked themselves 23 times consecutively and then passed out for the hour
