Which AI generated slop are you?

Thrifting should be an option.

I can tell I’m the target demo because the Goodwills all play music I like.

I know it’s a thing, I see kindred souls with the same millennial dork vibes all of the time.

My closest one would be running. I started doing 5 minutes a day on an old exercise bike where the computer and thus the resistance motor didn't work in september, gradually adding more time as I got into better shape.

It was when I got a new one that actually works in mid January that I REALLY got going, though, and I've put in 90 hours for a total of 3813 km (2369 miles) since then.

For context, that's more than the straight line distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles or almost the distance between London, England and Gao, Mali.

As far as mid life crises go, that along with eating a lot better ain't so bad 😁

these are all horrible. where is cosplay at 48?

I started collecting Lego again.

... and running.

What do you do if running hurts your knees? Just do it anyway?

I have tried changing footwear but generally if I walk a lot my knee will hurt. Doctor said thats just how I’m built I guess.

I would like to get into it. I guess I could just do NSAIDs?

Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.

Motorcycles!🏍️🏍️💨💨

What about the stereotype of buying a flashy car? Arguably that’s the one I fell into: spending far more on a car than I ever have to get something flashy and different, and purely thinking of me for what felt like the first time in my life.

Fuck. Running.

The workshop life has found me. Currently obsessed with 3d printing

none, just neutrally observing my fastly declining physical recovery rates and wondering if it will be in the negatives 20 years later

Japan?? Ummm, wut? Damnit... I'm still going.

Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.

So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.

I don't know, running for a lot of us is just having our bodies start breaking down and want to avert that.

Running

As a elder millennial, I am slotted heavily into the running category. Everyday!

Music 🎼🎵🎶

More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️

Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.

I’m not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. It’s a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. There’s even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)
