How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country?
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.
How do you know the "average person" doesn't do childish things when out in the wood by themselves?
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 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 feel like I'm the least Mexican dude in Mexico:
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'm an immigrant, so I guess by definition I'm not an average person in the country however you look at it
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
I' m Agnostic.
Believe people are not defined by their occupation and how much they make.
I m all for worker rights and fight for them
Into politics and trying to have as an objective ipinion as possible. Also try to talk about politics
My academic credentials are on the top 10% tier
I care about my RL and digital privacy
I use FOSS
I look after my health as well as my weight
Not a fan of Football
I make efforts to own my data and software
Travel a lot to other countries
have my own Jellyfin server
host a locally run smart home
Run a separate Batocera machine with a lot of games from a lot of legacy systems
Don't really care about where other people come from, or what is their religion, or gender, or sexual preference, or politics
If you mean my country of birth, it's actually a bit difficult since I've been twice in the last ten years and this and some YouTube vids are my only real media consumption. If you mean where I live now, I'm definitely fatter, hairier, and tatooed-ier than the average person. My japanese is definitely a bit worse.
I don' like soccer, I don't eat sausages, I'm not interested in cars. I do enjoy Sauerkraut, though.
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.
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.
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.
