Not op, but meth is like, amphetamines the thing that drives people to do boring pointless work, like organizing clothes by color.
Thanks for the info, I had no idea about this meth behavior.
+1, and how does that relate to meth?
It’s a cluster of behaviors, like excessively brushing their teeth. "just meth things" is a meme referring to these behaviors.
>excessively brushing their teeth Is that in spite of why their teeth decay so badly?
The brushing doesn’t help. The teeth decay is from lack of saliva.

I think it’s more because it’s a simple task that feels productive. It satiates the desire to be doing something without introducing the added frustration of failing at a more complex task.

In the way that meth is kind of like Adderall for addicts.

I lived in an apartment for a while and the upstairs neighbor decided to get addicted to meth and vacuum their floor every 30 minutes for a few days, both day and night.
