The page keeps reloading for me on Brave on iOS. And sadly text is not very legible on Mobile, but I see a big chunk of time labeled Hacker News, which seems realistic to me.
Oh...man...DOTA w3 and DOTA2. When ever I hear people talking about "having to deal with toxic community of X game" my mind immediately thinks "you probably haven't played DOTA".
Some MOBA history! An early derivative of DOTA, Heroes of Newerth (HoN), came out a bit before DOTA 2 and was at one time competing with LOL for the top DOTA clone. HoN had chosen a much closer to DOTA approach and was for its first 2 years almost an exact clone with a new snappy engine. All the DOTA purists went here and as a result, it was the most toxic video game community I've ever experienced. Great game but it had a very clear impact on one's mental health and attitude.
For me DOTA2 flame war experience has gotten much better over the years and is 10 times better than how it was in DOTA1. Perhaps it is the ease of setting up or it's the younger generation who is more chill or it's perhaps Valves banning system... I don't know to be honest. Occasionally DOTA2 still can be used as Russian language (involuntary) learning platform on EU servers.
In general, long gone are the days where 10 minutes into the game I would get a comment from a player describing what he is doing or is going to do with/to my mother.
When I read the page I though "yeah right, dead honest but no slot for wanking!" :) But it's there, 852 hours for watching porn. If the guy started at age 14 that turns out to about 12.5 minutes per day.
Does it strike anybody else as incredibly low, especially accounting for teenage years? Or do I have a problem ...
On the poop front though that seems incredibly high to me. That's 15 minutes a day assuming you do it every day.
The question is how does one quantify a poop. Some will quantify just the act but we all know there's more to the ritual and usually involves at least 10 minutes on here or Reddit.
Many of it is of the same kind as "how many ping pongs can fit into a school bus" assisted by known total time spent and yanking values to feel right relative to each other. I think it worked well.
I've been running ManicTime ( https://www.manictime.com/ ) for, geez, more than a decade now (Wikipedia says its first release was in 2008), and on my "Do Someday" list is an analysis of those hours. It would also tell me when I was at my desk since it logs presence/away hours as well when the computer got started/shut down. I guess the percentage of waking hours spent in front of the computer will be tragic.
Also tragic will be the many hours of reddit on there, as well as more recently HN.
Unlike Habr, which is hosting original IT content, HN just does links, so this number is a small lie. Small because as we get more experienced, it makes more sense to read comments only, as articles themselves often contain not enough new information to spend time on.
Same applies to r/MachineLearning: I read comments, then optionally read PDF on arxiv, later being included into the corresponding cell.
Considering those are guesstimates, you are probably right. Probably porn estimate is off by up ~2x. Most of it is high school and early uni, and how much time exactly it took back then is hard to remember by 30.
Math checks out on a gut level, based my experience doing a few hundred whole-life scale calendar models over the past year. There is a lot missing in the small stuff, but in general it seems right-ish. There is probably a curve of diminishing returns when you try to get it too accurate, because the meta analysis starts to show up as a function.
OP if you want to move your numbers to a piece of software to map it out in higher res, would be super fun to iterate it forward to more definition.
Making one of these myself showed me exactly how many hours I was wasting on social media that I could have been spending on something I actually enjoyed.
I wonder if this takes into account multitasking.
If I poop for 1 hour while reading HN, I can't just add the two percentages separately or the total will exceed 100%, so I have to count the 1 hour twice to normalize. If I do this every day, I get that I spent 1/25 of my time reading HN; however, it's really 1/24 of my time (since pooping is essentially automated away). Same for washing dishes etc.
Could be interesting to add a field for simultaneity and then removing the "boring parts done while doing fun parts" bits to gain another point of view.

hmm, pretty interesting.
As the comment below mentions, it starts much higher, then slows down.
The whole page took maybe a few hours to make, but I gave up horizontally aligning text on the cells after 30 or so minutes wasted on it.
Also tragic will be the many hours of reddit on there, as well as more recently HN.
Also as another comment mentions most of pooping after 6yo coincided with some sort of reading, but they still have separate entries.

Well done
Lol, I bet for many it's actually the opposite...
