Welcome to 2meirl4meirl
Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.
Rule 1: Respect the Community
If you’re not into self-deprecating, dark, or suicidal humor, this isn’t the place for you. Kindly block and move on. This is just how some of us cope
Rule 2: Respect One Another
We’re here to laugh through the pain, not to make it worse.
- No harassment
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Don’t be malicious
Rule 3: Title Requirement
All post titles must be 2meirl4meirl.
- Makes posting lazy and easy
- Lets people who don’t want this humor avoid it
Rule 4: No Forbidden Formats
The usual stuff applies:
- No spam
- No illegal content
- No porn or explicit content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it.
Otherwise post your memes, share your pain, and salute your fellow sadpeeps

So you're saying stimulation is being misrepresented as engagement; then in the next paragraph says, "reading is magnitudes more engaging" to support your argument about stimulation? Or is my cognitively addled brain misreading your comment?
Instead of name-calling, which is usually a sign someone has no good argument, I'll just drop a link to this paper that used fMRI to scan the brain when presented with information in either audio or written form.
Thank you for engaging like a mature adult.
EDIT: Or this one that shows that both activities simply activate different parts of the brain. And I would argue that brain activation is stimulation. Unless you'd like to present an alternative definition for stimulation?
"engaging cognitively", so that's the first half of your point in shambles 🙄.
Also, I can do articles too,

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5105607/
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5105607/pdf/nihms805826.pdf
None of your articles compare reading to listening. The two I linked show the brain activities involved during those two tasks. Brain activity is stimulation, no?
