How about "rincoglionimento" as a less lliteral translation?

«“Brain rot” é a palavra do ano para a Oxford University Press
Suposta deterioração do estado mental ou intelectual de uma pessoa, como resultado do consumo excessivo de conteúdo (online, mais recentemente) considerado trivial ou não desafiante: é assim que o dicionário define brain rot ("podridão cerebral", em português), a palavra do ano de 2024 eleita pela Oxford University Press, anunciou a editora esta segunda-feira.»...

Thank you for the post. I don't think there is a set term or phrase in either of my target languages (Russian/Ukrainian). That said, отупение (literally, getting brain-dead) could work in many contexts. It's also widely used when speaking about dull or monotonous work that deadens your brain. There is a related well-known concept which uses the same verb root, тупить в телефон (mindlessly scroll/play games/watch videos on your phone). Another option would be <...

| "закржљавање мозга" | Dec 3 |
literally: "lack of development / regression of brain capacity".
The same term is used in biology for leftovers of organs no longer needed that turned into evolutionary relics (like the tail bone or the appendix).

| I think it's the liquefaction of the brain as taken in the truЪ memetic sense | Dec 3 |
"Разжижение головного мозга" has long been used memetically to mean a condition similar to brain rot and attributable to similar causes.

Empobrecimento mental? Lembrei-me de outra alternativa: anemia mental?

Latin: cerebrum putredo? Greek: saprokephalia?

Youngsters on socials say "εγκεφαλοσάπισμα" or "μυαλοσάπισμα".
Older people might prefer the old medical term "μαλάκυνση εγκεφάλου", which referred to one symptom of Alzheimer's disease (brain tissues appearing softer).

But classical Latin/Greek: cerebrum putredo? Saprokephalia?
| | | |
I don't think there is a clear consensus in Spanish (Spain). I've seen terms like 'podredumbre mental', 'podredumbre cerebral', and 'cerebro podrido' used to translate 'brain rot'.
