Feel free to define “average” how you see fit. This isn’t about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

For the life of me, I cannot get people i know to care even a little bit about their privacy when giving it away let’s them scroll TikTok endlessly.
It’s nuts to me. Anyone who doesn’t care about privacy, I want to ask them in person when they last masturbated.
What? What’s the difference? You don’t care if Facebook knows.

- I monitor my personal finances carefully and try living well below my means
- I have effectively no social media presence
- I do childish things when out in the woods by myself such as play with puddles, make streams and larp a soldier with my outfits / gear
- My wardrobe is a bunch of near identical clothes. I basically wear the same thing every day. When I need a clean shirt I grab the one from the top of the pile.
- I eat once in the morning and again around 10pm. I also skip dinner a few times a week because I can’t be bothered to cook
- I leave most of my lawn uncut. From the street my house looks abandoned.
- I carry a folding knife with me always
- I intentionally avoid trends
- I don’t lie, not even white lies. I might not speak the whole truth but I never say something that’s untrue.
How do you know the “average person” doesn’t do childish things when out in the wood by themselves?
I couldn’t know. Nobody knows that I do either
And does it make a sound?

What country is full of skinny homophobes?

- I don’t wear plaid or denim
- I’m not a lumberjack
- I’m not wearing a toque (right now)
- I don’t have a (full) beard
- I don’t play hockey (anymore)
I should probably change my username and avatar.
When I was growing up, one of the first questions someone would ask a kid was what team they supported, and not even if they liked football in the first place. So I guess I was in a big minority there.
I haven’t posted anything to my personal social media accounts in half a decade.
Similarly, with the popularity of short form video booming, I basically don’t consume any of it and instead find myself watching 1h+ video essays about some old piece of equipment from 40 years ago.
I’m a lot more left-wing than most people I talk to.
I’m tall enough to bang my head on some door frames.
What kind of old equipment videos do you watch? I found that I like old computers after watching Dave Plummer’s pdp11 video’s
If you’ve not come across them here are some of my favourite creators in that category, in no particular order: LGR, 8-bit guy, cathode ray dude, techmoan, technology connections, nostalgia nerd
I’m not carrying a gun made of bacon and watching young Sheldon
I’m an immigrant, so I guess by definition I’m not an average person in the country however you look at it
I feel like I’m the least Mexican dude in Mexico:
- I don’t drink any alcohol, at all.
- I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
- I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
- I can’t eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
- I don’t watch football at all.
- I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
- I’m not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
- I hate big family gatherings, while it’s a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
- I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I’m far from average.
- I’m not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.
I guess some of the differences are because I’m autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I’m completely average.

I can bench press 300+ pounds (136 kg for the exceedingly rude Europeans in the thread), which puts me in the top 1% of men strength-wise not only in my country, but worldwide.
That’s 135 kg. The weights on the machines in my gym only go to 120. But I guess you just use the barbells
No credit debt. No drug/alc addictions… Can run 20k+ without stopping. Care about my digital privacy. Never put so much as a scratch on a single vehicle in my life (including forklifts and non-road vehicles). Know how to sail. Couldn’t care less about team sports.
Any tips to run 20k without stopping?
Well, generally speaking the easiest way to do that is to stop only once you’re past the 20k mark.
Have you tried this “not stopping” technique yourself? Sounds like snake oil, to be honest…
Not stopping would require me to actually start first. I haven’t gotten that far yet. Seems to be the difficult part.
I feel like the first week is actually the hardest. Then I start getting excited when I improve my times or distance and it becomes so much easier.
My problem is that vacations and winter really ruin my motivation. Who wants to run for an hour when it’s pouring rain or freezing outside?
Bad weather for long runs is shit. Short runs tho? Just beast mode it! Conquer the elements! At least thats what I tell myself.
Incremental training. I started with Couch-to-5K. Highly recommend. Once you complete that program, increment weekly distance by no more than 10% per week until you reach your goal.
It’s funny, I used that program several years ago when I didn’t exercise at all. Currently running around 9km, three times a week.
I have this unrealistic dream to run the marathon but I feel like even if I could physically do it, I’d get bored. Half marathon seems doable, though.
I’m working on the same goal but I’m sidelined with ankle issues so I’ve been cycling like a madman instead. Hopefully I can restart my training plan this coming tuesday.
I’m Texan by birth. I don’t like guns, meat, or driving. I think Mesoamerican history is way more interesting than the Civil War.
I’m taller. I’m a man in a female-dominated field (and was in my previous career, as well). I don’t own a car and have no interest in doing so. I know a dead language. I eat beans for breakfast. I don’t drink coffee.
Visualy, I’m as average it gets. White straight male, average height, common composition. But
