I recommend drugs:
- ✓ Cheap compared to other hobbies like travel or gambling or having a family
- ✓ Meet new real and not so real friends
- ✓ Can make your suffering aka life shorter

What is “white person” about this? Working until you die is shit, and pretty much everybody does it.

Wait, why IS race specified? I always was confused by that.
I think blackpeopletwitter came first on reddit and was a pretty big sub because if minorities don’t have their own space, their voices aren’t heard amongst the majority.
Or maybe whitepeopletwitter came first
That’s the shitty part of everyone just duplicating reddit subs. If Lemmy does take off, a decade from now someone is going to have to explain shit from 20 years ago from another website.
It would have been better off to grow organically on its own. But kids wanted to be mods to have all the power but not do any work. So every sub on reddit exists on a every big lemmy instance
BPT was first.
I agree with everything you said. The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any “heart” to them. Same names, completely different rules on what can be posted. They’re husks of subreddits filled with the most generic shit
To make fun of things stereotypically Angelo Saxon
What, like being shot in the eye or losing to the Normans?
The original sub was made because r/blackpeopletwitter only allowed tweets from black people. There is no reason for it to exist here especially with the waning popularity of Twitter…but lemmy full of useless copycat communities.

I’m going to guess it’s because most people have much more stressful lives and are too busy to be be bored (busy trying to figure out how to provide for themselves and their family, trying to get out of debt, etc). Also, most people do not have office jobs where they can drink coffee at a desk and listen to podcasts all day; most people have manual labor jobs and office workers are considered to be higher up the socio-economic ladder. So, the post is here to make fun of privileged white people who have a good life complaining about mundane things.
Yes, it’s mildly racist. There are, of course, many white people with low-paying jobs, and many POC with good paying jobs; but there is some statistical truth in the medians.
Most other races this is a no duh dipshit moment. For the white race there is a larger demographic that think they don’t have to work.
Sounds like you’ve been brainwashed into just accepted the capitalist bullshit drivel we’ve been force fed our whole lives.
Yikes
I’m bored
Well, go do something!
In this economy?
Papa always told me boredom is a choice.
well no, you’re supposed to generate as much profit as possible for someone else at every moment. nothing is truly designed to help people or provide a good service anymore, at least not without hefty profit margins – as is their god given right. i mean its a business they hvae to do the number!!
Well, you know the old Greek saying:
“A society grows great when people plant trees whose fruit they will not enjoy, for the corporation will have other people pick it, package it, and sell it back to them all at a 150% profit margin.”
I’m sure thats Rule of Acquisition #240-something.
It’s crazy. 20 years ago, no one would dare post something this anti-capitalist on the internet. Maybe in another 20 years, we’ll have posted enough anti-capitalist dystopian nightmare memes that we’ll actually want to do something about it.
20 years ago, no one would dare post something this anti-capitalist on the internet
I mean, no, people definitely still posted anti-capitalist stuff on the internet all the time in 2003. But it wasn’t the majority opinion like it is on the net now.
This isn’t anticapitalist, it’s more general nihilism.
Shitposting and revolution are not mutually exclusive. I’m doing my part to abolish the wage system and I also be shitposting.
Lmao what? People posted stuff this anti-capitalist on the internet all the time 20 years ago, were you browsing the internet with your eyes closed or something?
My thought process during covid. I bought a motorcycle and basically can’t stay in one place anymore.
My dad says it’s so we can be best friends with some dead guy.
I briefly forgot that religion was a thing and was wondering wtf your dad meant by this.
You’re supposed to find a passion or hobby that you can excel at in your spare time. Meanwhile, capitalism in the US has decided to make every effort to extract all possible time from you at bare minimum compensation so that you are too tired and too poor to ever figure out a hobby or passion you can effectively pursue.
I find that I excel at nothing. Is that what I’m “supposed” to be doing?
Nothing is a life-long dream of mine.
You’re not “supposed” to do anything. Do what you like. Or don’t. I’m not your existential crisis/mother.
Get some damn hobbies! Does she just sit in a chair with a blank face while listening to podcasts? Auditory media is meant to supplement another activity no wonder shes so damm bored

Casual listening is not the same thing as listening to a music as a hobby. Hobbyists like myself will listen to an album without doing anything else. It’s definitely not “meant” to be a secondary activity. No shade of that’s how you listen, though.
That is a very odd take on auditory media, from my perspective. Do you not focus on music or podcasts you listen to? Are you always doing something else?
As with most things, it depends. I could listen to an audiobook while working out but not while programming. I could listen to instrumental music while reading a book, but I couldn’t focus with a vocal track included. Some podcasts might require you to listen to every word while others may only require you to feel the overall topic.
I can have music as “background noise” but podcasts no way, if I am not focusing on what someone else is communicating, what is the point?
Doing other things at the same time helps me focus on whatever I’m listening to.
I fidget a lot so it would be distracting to sit still and just listen.
… Yeah. I feel so bored of my life rn. But like I deserve to be, its boring, I need to change things.
There is no point. At least, there’s no overarching design or plan behind your existence. Instinctively we are driven to survive, so the question is: what else?
While we exist, we have senses which can provide pleasure or pain, so the most selfish answer would be to seek pleasures and enjoy them while you can. The correlary being to minimize pain or suffering, which serves as a check on unrestrained pleasure.
I like to take this a step further and work not only to optimize my own pleasure, but the pleasure of others around me. Then guilt is no longer an issue because your pleasure is complementary to theirs. They benefit when you reduce their pain and vice versa.
I believe the original problem stems from artifically self-imposed limitations and expectations on what should be, rather than engaging with what is and imagining what could be.
They’re clearly listening to the wrong podcasts
Work all week, too tired to do something fun. Corporate profits unreasonably high and now I can’t afford to engage in activities. Individualistic, nuclear family, isolation because communes reduce profits. Breathing poisoned air, drinking contaminated water, eating trash, refined food. Lost in a maze of suburbs, battling long transit times, alone in a sea of cars. Everyone’s left for jobs, or busy working jobs, no time to meet new people.
What is, like, the point?
Do we sit in his emotional wasteland, producing for an other, alone and without the energy to do anything but work until we get sick and can’t afford healthcare / are told by doctors the elderly are not their priority as they’re no longer productive?
As other mentioned, you can have a hobbies, just do things and discover. It can be dancing, playing tennis, drawing, listening and collecting cd and vinyl and so on. Some hobbies require money some others not, it’s up you and what you want to do.
Life is absurd. Take drugs, make mistakes, explore, learn, love, create. Make peace with the absurd. Sit in it for a while and see what happens. The dude abides…
