The Disconnect Rebellion
There’s a moment when the loading icon becomes a mirror. You watch it spin. It watches you back. Both waiting to see who gives up first.
The Annoyance
The Wi-Fi, once loyal, decides to revolt. Mid-upload. Mid-sentence. Mid-life. You jiggle the router like a medieval doctor reviving a patient with fumes and faith. It blinks once, mockingly, then dies again.
The Absurd Diagnosis
Diagnosis: Signal Intermittency Syndrome.
Symptoms include repetitive incantations of “is it me?”, deep existential lag, and a sudden interest in flight mode as lifestyle. Often contagious among those attempting productivity.
A Low-Key Cure
Unplug everything. Stare into the silence. Accept that the modern nervous system is powered by Wi-Fi and denial. Light a candle in remembrance of the connection that once was.
The Witty Insight
Maybe the signal didn’t drop. Maybe it’s hiding. Testing your attachment. Your devotion. Your need for constant contact. You call it a glitch. It calls it boundaries.
Conclusion
Connection will return. It always does. The buffering ends. You forget the pain. Until the next outage reminds you that even machines crave distance.
