Weekend with no plans, ADHD edition:
- wake up
- looking forward to a full day of fatty food, gaming and shitposting on lemmy
- go downstairs to make scrambled eggs
- all pans are dirty
- dishwasher still broken
- partner asks if I've got the present for her aunt's birthday which is today and I apparently agreed to go to with her, 2 months ago
- the day spirals downward from there
Same here for most of the above, but I would like to suggest something I do often with random obligatory attendances. Every time you're bored at the party, say your tummy is acting strange. Free pass to go to the bathroom to fuck around on your phone whenever you want. Nobody wants to talk about yr poops. You might owe your partner an explanation, but you can follow your heart on that.
Wait, do people eats less than at least one frozen pizza per meal? Like, I don't get them often, but I need two to feel full.
(I always get shit for writing about portion sizes, I'm only 70kg)
This could be an American thing.
I'm a big eater and sometimes feel like I could eat two cheap frozen pizzas.
When I went to America think I finished one meal and that's because I was hungover, haven't eaten all day and starving.
Their meal sizes are fucking insane.
The meal I ate was in waffle house. It's this danky looking chain restaurant, it has this sad looking yellow and brown colours, all the furniture is plastic and tacky, they have basic coffee and pretty oily food that is super basic, waffles, eggs toast then you got to put a load of butter and sugar on top. As it's open all the time and cheap it is full of people at all hours and a frequent stop for drunk college kids.
Anyway turns out it is amazing! Everyone should go.
Here are two chefs talking about how great it is.
Some just eat a lot. I do sometimes, not frozen pizza but other stuff, but then I also regularly skip both breakfast and lunch or dinner without really thinking about it so on the whole I don't think I eat more than others. I'm around 60 KG. The one that makes people look is when I pack away 30 pieces of sushi while they ordered 10 pieces and are somehow satisfied. That or how I can kill a full bag of potato chips (300 g) in one sitting, a cool 1500 kcal of crispy goodness.
I think that's just you. I weigh like 40kg more than you, and I usually eat 3/8 pieces when I make a frozen pizza
I'm honestly curious, do you snack a lot or something? Where do your calories come from?
I looked up a few frozen pizzas you can get in my area and they are around 800-900 kcal. Assuming you eat 3/8 per meal, that's 9/8 a day, or up to about 1000 kcal. On the basis that you average a similar amount of calories per meal and consume the usual three meals.
The average man needs between 2000 and 3000 kcal. Woman start at 1600.
Since I gun for at least 2800 kcal and my average breakfast is about 600 kcal, my other meals need to be ~1200 kcal (1.3-1.5 pizzas). I never eat outside of meals except for maybe once over the weekend.
It's a little more than the recommended serving size on the pizzas I get. And I do usually add some extra toppings and cheese to make it better. I work from home, and don't have any particularly active hobbies, especially in the winter, so it's definitely enough for me for one meal. And my stomach is definitely full. I can only eat a fourth piece of im really starving
Im about your weight, but a whole pizza is usually enough. More than enough if I wash it down with coke
Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you're discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn't be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.
I'm around 30, actually. I used to be quite active, yes, but I've been sitting on an injury for almost a year now and even lost weight in that time eating the same amount (I still track every meal, so'll still be in the habit once I'm fully healed).
Otherwise I'm healthy, even got checked for stuff like thyroid problems.
Not frozen pizza but if I am ordering any, I usually go for 1 normal or 2 very tiny ones for different flavours. Idk if its the bread or I am just too Asian but any fast food like pizza or burger fills me easily unlike a proper meal.

Need to add a free space for “time travel”, it’s where you look at the clock and it’s 9:13a and then minutes later when you look again it’s 2a the next morning
Yeah, no kidding.
There are those special weekends though where you think it's 4pm and the clock only says 11am.
I find that getting up early, no matter how tired I am (and even if it means I need to nap later) makes weekends feel significantly longer.
Well actually I just did some calculations and came to the conclusion, that if it takes you 5 minutes to cum, but extend that by a minute with each run, you will end up at 21 hours without a break after 46 cycles.
I would never last 5 min. I busted while calculating this, but I thought 5 min is a number we can all easily agree to start at.
This changes drastically if you have a kid(s). I would kill for a weekend alone at home right about now.
Slept in, set record, smoked, ignored messages and although I didn't eat a frozen pizza I did cook only chicken legs for dinner...
I spend my home alone weekends setting up a series of elaborate traps in case some bandits try to rob my house.
Just print this out and throw bean bags at it to pick the activity. Like a "jump to conclusions" mat, but better.
When you do all 9 for 9 weekends in a row, then you get to claim you accomplished something
Am I the only one who began to hate wasting time on weekends? I am 28 and I have mostly wasted my time playing video games or watching TV shows earlier, but now I just can't do that, and if I don't spend time learning or working on something I am just stressed out.
To each their own. Just be sure it's making you happy.
I work to live, but I don't live to work.
Life is short and I thoroughly enjoy playing a video game without a care in the world. With a kid and a house, I have plenty on my plate. I don't go out of my way looking for extra work. If the opportunity arises for me to "waste time" I take it and enjoy it without guilt.
Last night I got to play Lethal Company with two of my friends. Most fun I've had in months. No regrets.
In the same boat as you, but hell yeah nothing wrong with “wasting time” playing video games with friends!
My wife and I moved across the country so I highly value playing video games with my friends from back home, we play with our webcams on in discord so it’s the closest I have to quality time, given our distance from each other
It could be a symptom of anxiety, specifically time anxiety. Feeling like you "have" to be working on something and relaxing is "wasting" time is a consequence of hustle/grind culture that is linked to broader economic anxiety.
Are you able to meaningfully measure how productive you actually are? Research into productivity has shown that resting properly in moderation is linked to more efficient work output.
I was laid off during covid and had severance, PTO payout, stimulus checks, and a healthy savings account so I definitely did this for about a month before I decided to get my shit together.
relax now..., sleep in, and binge youtube (well, really long letsplay, really) done, spiral scheduled for about 5 or 6 hours from now.
I'm 50 and since before I was a teenager I've never had weekends off in my whole life.
Well dammit, you don't stand a chance at the maturation world record just waking off on a weekday. Where are your priorities?
Six. Spiralling on Sunday will happen. People report to me so half of my Sunday evening is coming up with game plans for Monday so they think I know what I'm doing.
