Can we talk about how many hours of 'The Simpsons' there actually are?

I was looking up something about the show's old episodes and saw a stat that there are over 700 episodes now... which is more than 300 hours if you binge it all. That number just blew my mind, I found it on a fan wiki. Does anyone have a good plan for trying to watch a show with that many seasons?

That 300 hour number is just like when you realize how much time we spend on other stuff.

idk man, I kinda feel like 300 hours is nothing when you actually break it down. I've spent way more than that just rewatching The Office for the 5th time or getting stuck on YouTube rabbit holes about how to fix a sink I don't even own. Like if you're gonna count all the little 10 minute phone breaks throughout the day, that's easily 2-3 hours gone without even realizing it. So 300 hours for something you actually want to learn sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Right, like all those random 15 minute doomscrolls on your phone add up way faster than people think. I saw a breakdown once where the average person spends like 4 years of their life just looking at a phone screen, which is kind of scary when you compare it to something like learning a skill. It's not just about the big blocks of time, it's all those little pockets we waste without even noticing. Once you start paying attention to it, you realize how much of your day is just gone to stuff that doesn't matter.
