Why the fake store still feels good

Anticipation hits the reward system harder than receipt. That is not a slogan. It is the part of shopping your brain actually wants at 1am: browse, choose, press the button, watch a truck.

Real checkout adds a bill, a wait, a return, and another tab. Dopomine keeps the first half and deletes the invoice. You get the ritual. You keep the money. Nothing is shipped because shipping was never the product.

This is a substitute, not a cure. If spending is hurting you, use a real resource — they are linked on What is this?. We do not run ads, trackers, or accounts. The cart lives in this browser.
