mindlessly
In zombie fashion
Mindlessly means without thought or attention.
Someone who eats mindlessly consumes food without awareness of taste or quantity.
Mindless scrolling happens when you browse your phone on autopilot.
The word can suggest mechanical repetition mindlessly following orders or vacant distraction staring mindlessly at the ceiling.
