#rawdogging

If you’re “raw-dogging” throughout the duration of a long flight, you might be an idiot. At least that’s what one health expert suggests. Raw-dogging is basically staring into the seat in front of you — no eating, no drinking, no bathroom trip, no headphones, nothing — during a flight. And it's recently gained steam as flyers started sharing videos of themselves. If it sounds stupid, well, experts will back you. “The whole thing about the risk of long-haul flying is that you’re at risk of dehydration. If you’re not moving you’re at risk of deep vein thrombosis, which is compounded by dehydration. Not going to the toilet, that’s a bit stupid. If you need the loo, you need the loo,” said one.

@oracle depends on what you want...

I guess @videolan / #VLC is too spartanic for your needs?

Maybe #Audacious or #AmaroK is more up your alley??

Or maybe #Phiola or #Dopamine???

#Qmmp looks very #WinAmp-esque to me...

Personally I'm just "#RawDogging" VLC in the background, but your use-case and mileage as well as necessary features may vary, so I can only recommend to look at @alternativeto and check the results...

#rawDogging. No, not that kind. People (men mainly) are bragging about sitting quietly in their seats on long plane flights. No book, no movie, no head phones, no in-flight magazine? They just sit there, minding their own business, and now it’s a thing? And they call it rawdogging. Shit. I’ve done this for years. Here’s a pro-tip: you can think about doing a complicated physical routine, like tai chi, focus on what it feels like to do it. Your brain won’t know the difference. Or maybe just nap.

So I am just going to get ahead of this thing called #RawDogging flights. No this isn't a sexual thing, and it isn't a fucking #Trend either. What it is without question is a psychosis - plain and simple.

Raw Dogging a flight is to fly end to end without food, drink, or entertainment and to perpetually stare at the flight map.

If you do this (on purpose) you are NOT a trendsetter, you are a moron. Just stop this shit now because if I see ya, I am going to make so much fun of you and it will be loud and public throughout the whole flight.
