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’m fat, use Linux and am not homophobic… Yeah, that’s pretty much it
What country is full of skinny homophobes?
ls /Europe/TheBalkans
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 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’m not carrying a gun made of bacon and watching young Sheldon
I’m autistic.
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’m a huge nerd wearing a tinfoil hat:
- owns many computers, all run Linux
- GrapheneOS
- not on social media (other than Lemmy) do not use WhatsApp
- NAS in the leaving room
- 3D printer in the leaving room I pass for normal in social settings until some ask for my WhatsApp or Instagram or what have you.
- 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.
Not even close to average.

I am fairly below average, apparently.
I grew up in two different countries. Eventually moved back to the one with better healthcare since I’m dealing with a few old injuries. Over here, people tend to be somewhat distant and I’m quite the opposite. Always chatty, always outgoing.
I’m better.
That’s an average thinking pattern. People like Einstein tho said he was no different than average other than the effort he put into his work.
That’s true for other people, but I’m built different.
There’s no such thing as “big bones”
That’s not true; I’ve got them. My BMI is under 20, but I wear size 8-10 pants. My hip bones are literally bigger than average.
There is one. Ask your mom.
I hate sitting in the sun, which is the opposite of most of the country. The heat and light make me feel super annoyed and uncomfortable.
In contrast, most of the people here are sun worshippers. Sitting outside in direct sunlight as much as possible.Much more intelligent.
I care about my digital privacy
I travel.
Not even gap year. Full on quitting multiple jobs and moving to another country and finding a job travelling.
People talk about it but most people are too scared and find excuses. Other people have legitimate reasons though.
