[watching a guy repeatedly slam his dick in a car door] y’know, that guy can remember 5 arbitrary numbers at a time, whereas the average is 4. Super impressive

some likely ones have popped into my head since. pretty sure i had Elephant Gun by Beirut at some point. probably regina spektor and laura marling. also an artist called Ruby and her Whorses, and many pre-spotify tom rosenthal tracks which have been scrubbed from the internet but i still have on cd.

contagion films? The Happening, Train to Busan, I Am Legend, the Resident Evil series, maybe also Alien and The Thing
and these aren't technically what you're asking for but use a similar structure to explore similar themes: The Mist, A Quiet Place, Annihilation

ive seen a lot of people talk about this on tiktok. or specifically that they start doing something, hit an obstacle/don't get the results that they want, and then get upset and quit. maybe you're just talking about finding it uninteresting/unmotivating?

people have already written advice on this. you can find it by searching this website or the internet more generally, instead of asking someone who seems pretty clearly frustrated

also always end your alt text with a fullstop (the automated gif descriptions don't do this, which is weird).
