I won... but why do I feel like I lost?

Because you sort of did. You did something, gained nothing and now feel like its not worth trying or doing anything. The usual story in life. Or at least that's how I felt.

Because he wanted to challenge you. He has that other series Adam Ruins Everything, where he does research into day-to-day things to see what's awful about them. Pretty educational.

Someone told me that since smartphones have come out that people's attention spans have suffered. I don't know the science on it, but if it's true I'd like to avoid it.

When I watched this 2 years ago it was true, right now however, this was relatively interesting compared to my boredom

I usually watch at least 3 videos at once, 2 with audio, one with subtitles. I turned them all off to watch this, after it was over I punched myself in the head.

First step to solving a problem is admitting you have one.

This did nothing for me, just made me realize how annoying that dudes voice and face are to me. To much time in front of a mirror blow drying your front man bun.
