An unusual new game has emerged, challenging players to endure long flights without any distractions. Dubbed "Rawdog Simulator," the game tasks participants with sitting in an airplane seat and staring into space for as long as possible. This concept is based on a recent trend known as "raw dogging," which involves passengers deliberately avoiding inflight entertainment or reading materials during their journey.

Opinions on this activity are divided. Some proponents claim it offers benefits akin to meditation, while critics argue it could negatively impact mental health. Despite discussions around its potential advantages, there is no substantial evidence that raw dogging has gained significant traction among travelers.

The game utilizes eye-tracking technology to ensure players remain focused on their computer screens, preventing them from diverting their gaze. Upon completion, the duration of gameplay is recorded, and top performers are listed publicly on the game's website. Currently, a player identified as "mew no last name" holds the record with 18 hours and 40 minutes of continuous play.
