Fucks Given lets you keep track of the things that made you care. Whenever something happens that you needlessly concern yourself with, jot it down with a tap. The app creates a chart of how many fucks you’ve given, so you can work to give none.

It seems to me, that stopping my day to write down that some guy was rude for 3 seconds seems like I give an immense amount of fucks

If it was enough for you to write down then it’s enough to work on not giving a fuck about

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, I guess that's the point: if you see a pattern of giving a fuck about something minor, it can become easier to work on not giving a fuck about it. Sometimes not giving a fuck can take fucks.

It's not about noting down that something happened, it's about noting down that you cared about that thing happening. You don't note things down you don't care about.

So it s a journal of you actually giving a fuck about things? Why? Isn’t the point to not give any fucks?

[–] Swampman 1 points 3 months ago

The first step to solving a problem is to identify the problem. Then you spend 6-18 months gathering data to make very sexy graphs for your slideshows letting you document the gradual decrease in fucks given.

I've given so few fucks, the app refuses to install.

The existence of a Fucks Given app implies the existence of a Fucks Taken app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The law of conservation of fucks: a fuck given means a fuck taken since fucks cannot be created nor destroyed. Basic fuck physics.

An unstoppable fuck colliding with an unmovable fuck.

I believe that was the cause of the last ice age

It could just be a note taking app and nothing would change.

[–] reinei 17 points 3 months ago

So you are basically trying to humblebrag to everyone here that you already achieved a fucks-given-count of 0 for this app?

Impressive, if not a little underhanded. But still very impressive!

could be literally any app I never open

Mine isn't just barren. I've tilled it with salt.

No fucking roots shall hold.

Enough of a fuck was given to make a whole app

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

The true "no fucks given" app is the one that only existed as a thought for half a second before being shrugged back off into the void.

straight out of the "silicon valley" timeline, I can practically see Jian-Yang pitching it

This app is not for me because

If you are the creator, the dark mode is kind of not pleasing, have white text fields.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

They probably don't give a fuck. As the app shows. Lol.

And here is the official theme music of the app: https://youtu.be/Vqbk9cDX0l0

Reminds me of Tom Scott's Emojli

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

He was so distressed by its unforeseen success.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago
