When you put an Instagram note up about what you’re doing, where you’re going, or some other thought you’re having, just know we are all extremey invested.

A University of Otago study done by the Dunedin Herald surveyed four first-years on Sunday morning.

“Yeah, super interested ay,” said one when asked what she thought about her mates’ Instagram notes.

Another said “fuck off,” and walked away eyes glued to his phone. Presumably focusing on someone’s note.

This is satire. The Dunedin Herald publishes parody, commentary and invented stories. It is not affiliated with NZ Herald, NZME, or any government department that has stopped returning our calls.
