There was a study on boredom that found people who did NOT want to be shocked. They put them in a room with nothing to do for 15 minutes, and if I recall, about half or the people voluntarily shocked themselves for something to do.

Fifteen minutes? Those are rookie numbers.
Indeed, must be old research; current day would be more like 15 seconds and that is just perfect for a tiktok short or something.
