A new poll of nearly 1,100 adults revealed that Americans are truly addicted to their phones, with many admitting they check notifications right after having sex or sit on the toilet for so long that their butts go numb.
The poll, conducted by Solitaired, found that 40 percent of Americans use their phones immediately after sex, and that while 90 percent use their phones regularly while on the toilet, about 53 percent would scroll through apps for so long that their legs and butt would go numb while on the throne.
The poll also found that 91 percent of people would go on their phones out of boredom when socializing face-to-face with another person.
Americans said their favorite site to kill time on were Instagram, Reddit, Twitter and Facebook.

Smartphones also appeared to be a useful escape tool for Americans, as 86 percent said they use their phones to avoid interacting with others, and 61 percent confessed to using their phones to skip out on talking with specific family members during the holidays.
Phones, and the online content they connect people to, were also found to be tied to people’s daily rituals and chores.
About 51 percent of Americans said they could not clean without consuming content, and 34 percent said they could never cook without the entertainment on the side.
The same was true for 60 percent of those who commute, and 63 percent said they could not exercise without their phones.
A shocking 35 percent also said they would not be able to shower or get ready in the morning without some kind of content through their phones.
The phone addiction was emphasized by how long a person could wait before checking a notification on their phone.
About 14 percent of Americans said they needed to see notifications right away, and 27 per cent said they could wait a few minutes. About 17 percent said they could wait 15 to 30 minutes, and 24 percent said they could wait up to three hours before looking at their phones

About 17 percent said they could wait 15 to 30 minutes, and 24 percent said they could wait up to three hours before looking at their phones.

Phones also seem to bookend the majority of people’s days, with 82 percent reporting that they check their phones right when they wake up, and 86 percent said scrolling through their phone is the last thing they do before bed…

Its amazing how the LORD brings things up at certain times. Just last week I was telling my extended family members how Christians in North America are addicted to smartphones, and this is a spiritual problem of idolatry. In response I got angry denial and hollow reprimands. Thanks for reposting this.
And it’s not just Christians either. The overwhelming majority of people on Earth are addicted to smart devices. These devices are emitting luciferian frequencies and demonic energies are riding in on the waves. This is why we are experiencing so much evil right now. We have invited it in with our devices and have literally opened the gates of hell by being willing to use these noxious technologies that will only bring death.
