Subsection 2: The Overstuffed Ennui

A Brief History of the Overstuffed Ennui

The Overstuffed Ennui is a phenomenon where the human brain becomes overwhelmed by an excessive amount of thoughts, emotions, and stimuli. It is characterized by an unrelenting sense of dread, anxiety, and ennui, often accompanied by a strong urge to consume copious amounts of snacks.

Our research suggests that the Overstuffed Ennui is caused by an imbalance in the brain's default mode network, leading to an overactive 'snack-seeking' impulse.

Treatment Options

Our team of experts recommends the following:

• Cleanse your mind with a 30-minute session of extreme ironing
• Indulge in a 10-minute snack break, followed by a 10-minute nap
• Engage in a 2-hour conversation with a stranger about the meaning of life

Or, if all else fails, just eat a whole pizza by yourself.

We're not kidding. This is a scientifically proven method.
