Feel free to define “average” how you see fit. This isn’t about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.
I care about privacy.
For the life of me, I cannot get people i know to care even a little bit about their privacy when giving it away let’s them scroll TikTok endlessly.
It’s nuts to me. Anyone who doesn’t care about privacy, I want to ask them in person when they last masturbated.
What? What’s the difference? You don’t care if Facebook knows.
I never try. Most people don’t care about privacy until something happens to them.
I care about my digital privacy
- I monitor my personal finances carefully and try living well below my means
- I have effectively no social media presence
- I do childish things when out in the woods by myself such as play with puddles, make streams and larp a soldier with my outfits / gear
- My wardrobe is a bunch of near identical clothes. I basically wear the same thing every day. When I need a clean shirt I grab the one from the top of the pile.
- I eat once in the morning and again around 10pm. I also skip dinner a few times a week because I can’t be bothered to cook
- I leave most of my lawn uncut. From the street my house looks abandoned.
- I carry a folding knife with me always
- I intentionally avoid trends
- I don’t lie, not even white lies. I might not speak the whole truth but I never say something that’s untrue.
How do you know the “average person” doesn’t do childish things when out in the wood by themselves?
I couldn’t know. Nobody knows that I do either
And does it make a sound?
I’m fat, use Linux and am not homophobic… Yeah, that’s pretty much it
What country is full of skinny homophobes?
ls /Europe/TheBalkans
I haven’t posted anything to my personal social media accounts in half a decade.
Similarly, with the popularity of short form video booming, I basically don’t consume any of it and instead find myself watching 1h+ video essays about some old piece of equipment from 40 years ago.
I’m a lot more left-wing than most people I talk to.
I’m tall enough to bang my head on some door frames.
What kind of old equipment videos do you watch? I found that I like old computers after watching Dave Plummer’s pdp11 video’s
If you’ve not come across them here are some of my favourite creators in that category, in no particular order: LGR, 8-bit guy, cathode ray dude, techmoan, technology connections, nostalgia nerd
- I don’t wear plaid or denim
- I’m not a lumberjack
- I’m not wearing a toque (right now)
- I don’t have a (full) beard
- I don’t play hockey (anymore)
I should probably change my username and avatar.
Well, for one, I speak fluent English
When I was growing up, one of the first questions someone would ask a kid was what team they supported, and not even if they liked football in the first place. So I guess I was in a big minority there.
I don’t like beer nor football.
I’m an immigrant, so I guess by definition I’m not an average person in the country however you look at it
I’m autistic.
I’m not carrying a gun made of bacon and watching young Sheldon
I’m Texan by birth. I don’t like guns, meat, or driving. I think Mesoamerican history is way more interesting than the Civil War.
I feel like I’m the least Mexican dude in Mexico:
- I don’t drink any alcohol, at all.
- I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
- I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
- I can’t eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
- I don’t watch football at all.
- I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
- I’m not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
- I hate big family gatherings, while it’s a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
- I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I’m far from average.
- I’m not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.
I guess some of the differences are because I’m autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I’m completely average.

I’m taller. I’m a man in a female-dominated field (and was in my previous career, as well). I don’t own a car and have no interest in doing so. I know a dead language. I eat beans for breakfast. I don’t drink coffee.
