it’s just calories in vs calories out. A better diet paired with more exercise.
Get an idea of how many calories you burn in a day (you can search for a BMR calculator to give you a ballpark), and eat less than that. I started going on runs, and eating a slightly healthier diet.
I just keep adding holes to my belt
I use it every day
I’ve been there, but you can definitely find hobbies that cost nothing.
Hiking/walking/running is free and good for your mental and physical health (although if you dont have appropriate footwear, I’d stick to walking).
Music production is free (if you already own a computer) with free DAWs and free plugins. This is a great way to be creative, learning music theory is also free but not super necessary
Writing is free, this can include fiction, as well as journaling. I enjoy journaling but
Software hacking is free with ghidra and x64dbg, I’ve been working through crackers, which are pieces of software written specifically to be cracked.
Programming is free and the resources to learn programming are free. If you have no experience python is super easy to jump into.
3D modelling is fun to learn and again, free. Fusion360 will give you a free license for personal use, or there are other free options. I learnt this to 3D custom designs, and your local library probably has a 3D printer to use if you want to go that route.
Your city almost certainly has a free art gallery, I love spending days at the art gallery with headphones listening to beautiful music and looking at beautiful art.
Cooking can be a fun hobby, and although not free, it’s money you were hopefully going to spend anyway, it can be fun to find new recipes and try them. And if you plan correctly and buy in bulk, you can save money this way.
Contribute to open street maps, this is free and helps the community.
Of course the more fun hobbies, and more traditional hobbies do cost money, and can get very expensive very quickly so I do understand your frustration, but finding free cheap hobbies was key to getting out of my depression and I urge you to find something, these suggestions may not be right for you but it just shows there are options
No and no
I have no idea what I’m gonna do when my LG eventually dies. I went from the v30 to the v40 and now the v50. Not a single phone on the market offers what I want in a phone anymore
I feel like my Garmin could probably survive being run over by a car
Not American, works fine for me 🤷♂️
…to plug headphones in. How is this a genuine question?
People still use their phones to listen to music and wireless earphones are almost universally garbage, require charging, and produce insane amounts of e-waste. Wired headphones don’t have these issues
Amazon. Fuck Amazon.
Nobody is going to buy a cyber truck because they will never be mass produced
You think selling something that isn’t yours, after you told the owner you would return it, is drama for the sake of drama?
The YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips is a very large part of the tech space, reviewing, and making videos about technology. This is actually bigger than that as it speaks to Linus media group, of which Linus tech tips is one of many tech related channels.
That’s why I hate money and the setup of the world, is plain satanic if you ask me.
Don’t drag satan into this, the world is overwhelmingly more christian than satanic.
There’s a pretty distinct difference between eating eggs, and egg being an ingredient
you have great taste don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Why would I use other platforms?
“pretty small”, it’s like 2 Canada’s.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but if a product can only exist if it’s consumer-unfriendly, perhaps it shouldn’t exist at all.
Sure wireless earphones can be convenient, but the extra e-waste, the non replaceable batteries, the Bluetooth transceivers, the DACs used (while the device you’re streaming from almost certainly already has these things) is super wasteful.
I think if we have any chance as a society, we need to start thinking about the products we use and how they are produced and how much waste they create, instead of just how convenient they are at the time.
If you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. That’s just science - that works universally. I don’t really think these fad diets are a good way to view health. There’s a lot more to a healthy diet than just losing weight - your body needs carbohydrates, in fact carbs should be your primary source of calories and foregoing all carbs isn’t a healthy way to lose weight.
