Walked into a friend's house last weekend and saw 47 browser tabs open on his laptop

I was over at my buddy Dave's place helping him move furniture, and I glanced at his laptop screen. He had 47 tabs open in Chrome, plus a few in Firefox, and his desktop was just a mess of random files and shortcuts. I asked him when he last closed a tab, and he just shrugged and said 'I don't know, maybe a month ago?' It made me realize how easy it is to let digital clutter pile up without even noticing. Has anyone else ever helped a friend declutter their browser and found something wild?

Good heavens, a month with no closed tabs?

My record is like 47 tabs open across three windows, all things I swore I'd get back to. Finally closed them all out of pure shame when my browser started making the laptop fan sound like a jet engine. Felt strangely empty afterwards, like I lost a part of my digital soul. But a whole month with no closed tabs? That's commitment I can't even imagine.
