I don’t know what it is but I feel like there is something especially enjoyable about reading on a train or bus. Like I would be fine with making my commute longer because it dosen’t feel like wasted time since I am reading. Also its just nice to be stuck somewhere for a bit with nothing to do but wait and be forced to read.

      Brrr isn’t the sound I make when I get motion sickness, but I echo the general sentiment. It also lasts a long time for me so I’m useless for about an hour or two.

        You’ll hopefully forgive me for speaking in stupid meme language.

        I’m in a similar boat, the motion sickness takes me out for a good couple hours. Have you found anything helpful? The only thing that sometimes helps is food, but this is far from a perfect fix - The nausea makes it hard for me to make myself eat.

          There is absolutely nothing to forgive, I was trying to suggest that the sound I make is the sound of vomitting without explicitly using the word.

          I’ve not found anything that lessens its severity, once it happens there’s little I can do but lie down. In my case lying face down makes me feels better, but I still won’t be able to do anything for a while. Not riding vehicles on an empty stomach sometimes reduces the chances of it happening but if it happens it’s as bad as always.
