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.
I care about privacy.
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 never try. Most people don’t care about privacy until something happens to them.
I care about my digital privacy
- 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?
I’m fat, use Linux and am not homophobic… Yeah, that’s pretty much it
What country is full of skinny homophobes?
ls /Europe/TheBalkans
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 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.
Well, for one, I speak fluent English
I don’t like beer nor football.
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 not carrying a gun made of bacon and watching young Sheldon
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.
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?
I don’ like soccer, I don’t eat sausages, I’m not interested in cars. I do enjoy Sauerkraut, though.
I’m better.
That’s an average thinking pattern. People like Einstein tho said he was no different than average other than the effort he put into his work.
That’s true for other people, but I’m built different.
There’s no such thing as “big bones”
There is one. Ask your mom.
That’s not true; I’ve got them. My BMI is under 20, but I wear size 8-10 pants. My hip bones are literally bigger than average.
