Seriously. And before anyone says “well you need a lot of money to do things”…
There is nothing stopping you from getting out of your room and exploring. Even if it means a quick adventure at a park nearby. Or go to some small town you’ve never been before. Explore the local shops and parks. Go to a local art exhibition. Sit somewhere and experience somewhere new.
None of this requires much money at all.
What y’all need is some Latino culture. We have public plazas and walkways where you can exist without being expected to buy or be forced to move along to avoid a ticket for loitering.
This I think is where a lot of problems started. The lost of the art of walking as we forced everyone to use cars for nothing more than profit.
Walking allowed us to see human faces and allowed us to keep in touch reality. You’re also less likely to be stressed bumping into a person than you do bumping you’re car.
I mean, steps 0-.99 are touching grass long enough to bring your brain back to equilibrium. If you can’t enjoy stopping to smell the roses because you’re so fried from oily food, video games, and casual online bigotry to mask your absence of self worth, there’s less point in the rest.
But that’s just how I perceive most modern 4chan posters. I’ve read no studies
I knew a lady who had this annoying saying, "if you’re bored, you’re boring.* I mean really, sayings like that irritate me to no end. Unfortunately it’s true.
We were all better when boredom was the great motivator to go out and do things, now it’s the motivator to (insert socially acceptable addiction here).
Love, Meth, and Board Games aren’t boring.
Love that show
What were you watching?
There’s a show called Love, Death, and Robots. I was jokingly confusing your comment for that show.
Hmm…I’ll check that out. I was about to call my ghost.
no i go out and its deff still stupid.
People who havent experienced one iota of what this planet has to offer “it’s so boring heeeeere”
I mean… we are on lemmy, so it’s more like, people who can’t experience one iota of what this planet has to offer. The fact that I’ve been able to travel around just my home country and see a variety of landscapes puts me among a relatively lucky few. Being able to read more books in the last few months than many will ever own, or that I have an ‘adrenaline’ hobby, makes me incredibly lucky.
I won’t come down on someone who may never get out of a 50 mile region of their hometown.
Why is our planet so boring and stupid?
Because billionaires want it to only be interesting and beneficial to themselves and their class.
They don’t even want it to be interesting, they want it to be semigloss white, stainless steel and glass. They have no imagination. The most interesting thing they can come up with is white mega yachts and Infinity pools. They can’t fathom the mood of a creaky old wooden fishing trawler chugging seawards into a misty sunrise.
Can I say?
Every fucking movie that ends with a “utopia” where everyone is just smiling in a white void of a room with no color or joy to it? Makes me feel very much like that isn’t a utopia and just shows how unimaginative the people we let tell us how the world should be are.Wait. What movie actually ends with people smiling in a white void?
This. Because billionaires want you to be trapped in that room. They did the streaming service roll-out, after all.
it’s called a cruise and it fucking sucks.
Disagree strongly. Gourmet meals are included and nothing beats waking up to a different view on your balcony every day. Plus there’s so much to do on the ship, you hardly have to even get off at the ports (but of course you still should).
Best vacation ever. If I lived near the east coast, I’d go on a cruise every year. They’re a lot less expensive than you think. The flight is the most expensive part.
Cruises are cool. The problem is that modern cruises are ecologically ass and only reasonably affordable to the rich.
You misspelled “floating viral incubator”
That’s where viruses go to gain experience and level up. It’s like that vacuum chamber or whatever in that stupid kids anime. The viruses come out 9000x stronger
there’s also the weaponized floating parking-lot
I don’t get that opinion. It’s a place where you, depending on what you pay for, get to eat and drink as much as you like, while reading in the sun. Sometimes you even stop in ports and find other cool places to visit later. If you can’t ignore the other passengers, then you need a higher level in Ignore.
this is going to sound weird, but i enjoy cooking my own meals and i don’t think they let you do that on cruises
why would you think my opinion is based on not being able to ignore others? that is a weird assumption
Well hes right…
Go out and life
Living outside is quite expensive
Depends where you are, nature is cheap and accessible in asia.
Hey, my room is very well lit.
I don’t really like going outside that much because of all the fucking vehicles filling the air with carcinogens.
Then there’s the excessive UV because the ozone layer was ruined.
And the noise all the vehicles make.
Yeah, I’m good. I’ll just enjoy the world from my window and computer thank you wery much.
It’s a shame reading comments like this. The harms that you mention are absolutely miniscule compared to the negative effects of staying inside every day.

I’d love to live in whatever world you’re in, but it doesn’t exist. It’s actually a shame so many people are so condescending about their delusions.
Nothing stops you from going live deep in the forest away from all of those things.
It’s actually a shame so many people are so condescending about their delusions.
I can never tell if these kind of comments are just meant to be subtle self mockery, or that your just really that unaware of yourself.
Unless you live in Australia the ozone layer is not a problem. If you do live in Australia, my condolences.
Yeah, that one’s kinda the proof we can all work together to combat an environmental issue and get results
Shame we seem to be not doing that so much these days
we have sunscreen now, also no one says you have to stand under direct sunlight the whole time 😁
I live at higher elevation, and the UV is literally “extreme” (13-14 on the whatever-it-is scale) any time it is remotely sunny. Going outside is still very enjoyable any time. Dude probably lives somewhere with half the UV and is worried about the sun as if he is a vampire
Some people are just illogical. If your only conception of going outside is standing in full sun on the street and huffing the exhaust pipes of passing cars then thats more of a problem with lack of imagination. Parks exist, shade exists, going outside of town exists… literally endless ways to avoid all of these impossible challenges
I wouldn’t be so sure that your living space isn’t filled with carcinogens, too. The air inside is coming somewhere, and furniture, carpets etc. often gas out harmful substances.
I have an air filter with active carbon.
*that was reviewed on house fresh.
IDK why people are downvoting this so much … I think it’s a good idea and I should probably get one, and a sensor to check it.
It’s something that everyone should have imo. Especially with increased risk of forest fires. I have the Shark HP102 which has built in sensors, most of them do I think. Ofc it’s always good to cross reference. :3
my carpet is gassy?
Yeah, it farts formaldehyde
Depends on what it’s made of. If it’s like pure, unadultered cotton or wool it’s probably inert, but the kinds of carpet that are supposed to cover a room wall-to-wall and have a sort of rubbery bottom tend to be rather unhealthy.
Go to a better place?
Which planet would you recommend?
Dantooine
tfw dimly lit room in space
My least favourite genre of 4chan post
You prefer racism over this???
