Not just the CCC - the traffic though the whole site has been down (except for homework seekers) since the lockdowns started. I guess there are more distractions at home ...

I would assume it's more of a case that there are better things to do at home. CP is for "work" time.
Less people working = less reason to go on CP.

At that age you celebrate however the hell you want
A beer? No problem.
Something stronger? Cheers!
Going out dancing? Sounds fun.
Cocaine and hookers? Sure, why not.

Or I can't get it out of my brain...
What do you guys do when a tune has been churning around for several weeks in your brain, with not indications that it is going to leave anytime soon? I hum it when I go to work, I hum it when I am making food, it is in my brain when I lay down to sleep... It is there all the time!
I had two traditional ways of handling such situations: Either play so much similar music that the one running around in my brain is drowned in the other stuff. Or, playing it so many times that I get sick of it: Oh no, not that one again! ... Sorry, neither trick has helped me this time.
It really doesn't matter which tune we are talking about, but if you are curious: This time it is William Albright: Burnt Fingers< a>[^] - maybe the most harmoniously complex ragtime tune ever made. Every time I listen to it, I enjoy all those nice twists and modulations. I have known the tune for years, but about a month ago I had to "defend" it for for a friend thinking that ragtime in general is harmoniously "primitive". To convince my friend, I really had to start listening closely to point out the details. After that, it stuck...
What do you do in such situations?

My three cures for an earworm:
- listen to the tune in its entirety (somemtimes fixes it)
- infect your brain with a different earworm
- spread it to someone else (doesn't always work, but makes you feel better - at least if the outgoing earworm is ABBA or similar)

Listen to it until it goes away. Got stuck a week with Stargazer just a couple of weeks ago, defeated it by repeatedly listening.

Definitely, I alreaqdy loved that song but then my wife discovered it and I lived two weeks with Stargazer either in my brain or playing somewhere in the house.
