Jane Doe, age 20, was found mindlessly scrolling through Tumblr late Thursday evening after being missing for nearly two days. Her parents, Jack and Joan Doe, reported their daughter missing because, “She didn’t come downstairs to watch Star Trek.” After a quick sweep of the house, Jane Doe was discovered staring at a bright computer screen, drinking cold tea and scrolling furiously.
When questioned about her absence, Jane explained that she had recently been experiencing “writer’s block,” and that the stress was overwhelming. When questioned further, Jane explained that she had believed Tumblr would be a good source of inspiration, and that she had logged in to the social media site Tuesday evening.
“I didn’t think I would spend so much time on it. I had planned on only being there a few hours, tops. But the infinite scroll feature made it difficult to leave!”
Jane mournfully admitted that her session on Tumblr had been less than productive for her writing. She claimed that on the site, she found only memes, snarky remarks, and the occasional comedic Vine. Although the site’s endless supply of cute puppy pictures was heartwarming, Jane worries that her time was wasted.
Her parents seem surprised by their daughter’s behavior.
“We had no idea she was even in her room!” Jack Doe told investigators.
“I can’t believe the Wi-Fi worked that long without interruption!” Joan Doe added.
Apparently the couple has been experiencing issues with their wireless router, which they are hoping have been fixed. The Does claim that this experience has inspired them to start their own non-profit, helping students find productive ways to utilize social media for their benefit. But for now, they are “just glad to have their daughter back.”
