I don't think that's what it means. Raw dogging a flight means staying awake while doing nothing. I suppose most people that want to "raw dog" a flight will fall asleep eventually, so I guess there's that. But I think getting buzzed and just slipping into a bad nap for like 12 hours is a bit different, at least to my mind.

That sounds an awful lot like idleness.

Good for you. I can't sleep sitting on plane. The only times I've been able to to sleep is (1) getting a free upgrade to 1st class where I could lie down (2) a mostly empty plane where I could stretch out across three seats.

Like you, I cannot sleep on vehicles, but I used benzos on a recent flight, and it was like an instant time-skip forward during nighttime of the destination time zone, which helped with jet lag. Benzos are pretty terrible for you if used regularly, but if you have the self-control to limit your usage to a few long flights a year, it would be irrational not to take advantage of them. (I am not a doctor)

Why benzos over Ambien?

For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone). Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. Th…

I tried to find a feature/spec comparison of different xreal air models currently for sale on their website and utterly failed.

Or they intentionally want to confuse people

Agree with author that the plane seems to be the only place where it is socially acceptable to wear the skimask. My wife still makes fun of me when I'm working at home with Vision Pro - I wouldn't wear it out in public. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41836437

I saw someone parked in their car wearing one.

At least they were parked.

I am lucky to live in a state where marijuana is legal and basically had a THC candy before boarding a 14 hour flight to Sydney.

Slept like a baby with munchies being the only side effect

For my 12 hour transatlantics, nothing beats a Steamdeck for me. Sure it’s less immersive than a VR or xreal but it doesn’t really matter once you get into the game. I can easily play for 8 hours and barely notice the flight.

How do you hold it comfortably? It's so heavy my weak pathetic arms got tired after half an hour or so.

Ended up selling my Deck and using a much lighter handheld instead.

Great example of people who are ignorant of slang, using it in inappropriate contexts.

I would expect that the people who came up with this meaning know exactly what the original slang means, and did it intentionally. Though yeah, I'm sure there are people who use it who don't know what it really means.

Yes... I think the trend of "raw dogging" a flight is a response to the constant need to do something - scroll through a phone, listen to a podcast, read the latest NYT story... Doing nothing, on the other hand, is pretty much what meditation is, which has been shown to provide a lot of amazing benefits for the brain.

Idleness is then just a religious (Protestant Christian?) spin on a perfectly normal thing, much like masturbation.
