Hari ini aku mau cerita sedikit tentang satu budaya di Indonesia, yaitu uang rokok. Mungkin kamu sudah pernah dengar ya? Uang rokok itu sebenarnya seperti tip kecil, tanda terima kasih untuk orang yang sudah membantu kita.
Misalnya, kalau ada tukang AC yang datang memperbaiki AC di rumah, kadang kita kasih sedikit uang tambahan. Nggak banyak, tapi cukup untuk bilang, “makasih ya, sudah bantu.” Dan lucunya, meskipun namanya “uang rokok”, bukan berarti harus dipakai untuk beli rokok.
Tapi ada hal menarik juga. Uang rokok ini bisa bikin suasana berubah. Contohnya, ada seorang kurir yang setiap bulan mengantar paket ke rumah yang sama. Suatu hari, pemilik rumah kasih dia uang rokok sebagai ucapan terima kasih karena selalu datang tepat waktu. Setelah itu, kurirnya jadi makin rajin senyum dan lebih semangat setiap kali datang. Tapi suatu hari, waktu pemilik rumah lupa kasih uang rokok, si kurir tetap sopan dan ramah sih, hanya saja auranya berubah sedikit, dari yang biasanya “100 watt” jadi “50 watt.” 😆
Jadi, memang uang rokok bisa memengaruhi suasana hati atau semangat kerja seseorang. Kadang pelayanan juga bisa terasa beda, tergantung besar atau kecilnya tip yang diterima.
Menurutku, uang rokok itu boleh banget jadi bentuk terima kasih. Tapi idealnya, orang harus tetap bekerja dengan baik karena itu adalah tanggung jawabnya, bukan karena mengharapkan tipnya.
Menurut kamu gimana? Kamu tim kasih uang rokok atau tim nggak kasih?

Terima kasih sudah mendengarkan, sampai jumpa di episode selanjutnya! 😊

EP 15. PALABRAS QUE SOLO EXISTEN EN ESPAÑOL

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."
