My buddy is an entomologist and one time I tagged along while he went to collect beatles in the highlands. When we got back to the lab one of the specimens I had collected turned out to be a species that was thought to be extinct in the region and hadn't been spotted in a very long time. He was wildly jealous

Thinking that there is no reason to take your shoes off is the most American thing in the world. There is poop, pee, puke, pollen, pollution, parvo and prions out there, among other things.

In Japan the entryway of a house is usually a step lower than the rest of the house. It is considered part of the outside, where the shoes stay, as well as all of the dirty things from the outside that are on the shoes. And symbolically, your troubles from the outside world are not brought into the house either. It's a major faux pas to wear your shoes in the house past this step and bring all that shit inside. Interesting contrast

Anyone not enjoying the luxury of a bidet is pooping like a Neanderthal

I'm extremely consistent with my weightlifting program (1.5 years aww yeah!)

Starting to lift with the best decision I ever made and the best habit I've ever formed. Nagging aches and pains are basically a thing of the past. I'm way more useful, and my lower body, which was once withered and useless after a decade of working in an office, have been replaced with tree trunks and a dump-truck ass

A couple of the accessory benefits of this that in order to support my lifting progress I now eat way better, quit drinking and prioritize proper sleep. Overall it's just been a huge increase in quality of life

No doubt that... It's been a long road

Fuck Spez, but not proper fuck

I'm not sure if I would want to deviate from my current training plan, i'm squatting twice a week and that's about as much as I can recover from, but I love the idea of something like this on Lemmy. Or a seasonal bulk party?

Looking back now there were some signs but boy that escalated quickly
