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.

    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

    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 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

    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’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 grew up in two different countries. Eventually moved back to the one with better healthcare since I’m dealing with a few old injuries. Over here, people tend to be somewhat distant and I’m quite the opposite. Always chatty, always outgoing.

    USA here.

    1. Indifferent to sports. Football, baseball, and basketball are at best insipid. Hockey is at least somewhat interesting, but that’s only because my youngest plays. Even then, I do not follow it.

    2. Don’t care about guns. Yes, I can shoot. It pissed my right-wingnut, Kyle Shittenhouse worshiping brother off to no end, when I could out shoot him, with his own guns. Did I mention he has 6 years in the Army and practiced with his weapons at least once a week? It took me maybe 10 shots of practice to start being more accurate. My vision is worse than his too. Still have no interest in owning one. I keep a Claymore next to my bed for social occasions at home.

    I’m a huge nerd wearing a tinfoil hat:

    • owns many computers, all run Linux
    • GrapheneOS
    • not on social media (other than Lemmy) do not use WhatsApp
    • NAS in the leaving room
    • 3D printer in the leaving room I pass for normal in social settings until some ask for my WhatsApp or Instagram or what have you.
