Title: Free "Rawdog Flight Simulator" Unleashed: Get Your Gaming Fix
The viral TikTok travel trend, originally coined as "rawdogging," was initially intended to steer clear of digital stimulation during flights. Essentially, a flight passenger (typically a male) would gaze into emptiness for the entire journey, shying away from activities like movie watching, podcast listening, or even reading. The flight tracker map might be their only source of amusement. Some have likened this practice to a form of "meditation," while others view it as simply "plain stupid."
In a twist of events, the moronic concept of rawdogging has jumped onto the digital sphere. Some genius thought to create a flight rawdogging simulator, allowing you to feign staring at nothingness from the comfort of your own home. This free online game, titled "Rawdog Airlines," entices players to board a virtual flight, select a seat, and then endure the excruciating boredom of staring into the distance for as long as they can bear it. The game allegedly utilizes "eye tracking" technology to monitor your gaze and discourage cheating. Upon completion, the game records your endurance, with top performers' results published online. As of now, "mew" (without a last name) holds the record with an astounding 18 hours and 40 minutes of gameplay.
Rawdogging has gained traction on TikTok, a breeding ground for various mentally-draining "trends." It's unclear if this trend has any substantial real-world presence. Rawdogging, as we know it, was reportedly pioneered by none other than "Seinfeld" itself. In the 1997 episode "The Butter Shave," Elaine's boyfriend, David Puddy, infuriated her by refusing to read, nap, or engage in activities beyond staring blankly during their flight. Salute to you, Puddy. You were, and perhaps still are, the epitome of a rawdogger.
In the realm of technological advancements, some tech enthusiasts have started to explore the concept of rawdogging in the context of virtual reality. They believe that simulating the rawdogging experience could serve as a unique form of meditation or relaxation in the future.
Embracing the digital age, tech companies are developing smart glasses that simulate the monotonous stare of rawdogging, aiming to provide users with a new form of relaxation and concentration in the near tech-driven future.
