      Building a time machine, or a transportation that we can take ourselves to another universe and communicate to our past selves.

      Solo camping! I was always fascinated by survivalist lifestyles and with my recent watching of Yuru Camp (btw, definitely an anime I can recommend if you like slice of life), well my interest in it was bolstered. Wala din kasing medyo magandang camping spots dito. Yung camping spots mostly are for hikers, which technically is in the same vein but I don’t like walking up gravity that much.

      Traveling, camping, mountaineering. I’m sure it can be done on a budget, pero parang ang haggard kasi na aakyat ka ng bundok ng overnight ng Sabado at Linggo, tapos makakauwi ka ng Linggo ng gabi, then sabak na naman sa trabaho ng Lunes. If it were up to me, either I’d quit my job entirely (to find the time to devote to that hobby), or get a different one that’s less demanding of my time even though it pays a lot less.

      I also want to have time to actually enjoy what I am doing rather than just zooming from one destination to another.

        may foreigner na gumawa nito… got a stable job then decided to travel the world…

        if i remember correctly, dude was happy… though nung matatapos na siya, he did comment like you will come to a point na parang normal na lang lahat… ohh a mountain, ohh another mountain… like that waterfall… ohh another waterfall…

        but i guess he was happy in the en… forgot his name… nasa YouTube…

          he did comment like you will come to a point na parang normal na lang lahat… ohh a mountain, ohh another mountain… like that waterfall… ohh another waterfall…

          That’s scary. I am guessing he’s being overstimulated near the end, that experiences that are meant to be out of the ordinary seems ordinary to him at that point.

          Which is one of the reasons I want to take things a lot slower if I ever have a chance of doing so. Hindi yung mag-lalagay lang ng gamit sa hotel, tapos diretso rampa na sa bundok/beach/whatever. Perhaps take a day or two to rest, explore the area around the hotel/hostel/lodging–see what the locals are up to, then uunti-untiin yung sights, etc. IDK if the Youtuber guy you are talking about did something similar though.

              Yeah, though I guess it also depends a lot on one’s own pace. Someone really sluggish (like me) could probably take one week exploring a handful of destinations, one or two a day, interspersed with rest days.

    Thank you to u/theyawner for a good read on the urban heat island effect. Sadly, and ironically I might add, that the more we use technology to cool us down, the more we make everyone hotter.

    Sana we find a sustainable way to cool ourselves, apart from battling global warming.

    Wonder how it’s like to stay in space?

    CreepyWikipedia is one of the few subreddits that took the blackout seriously and has yet to return. Hopefully they’re fine with me making a Lemmy version: [email protected]

      Same. 2021 lang ako nag start makinig ng kpop tapos na-influence lang ako ng friends ko na mahilig sa BTS. Isa sa favorite songs ko by them yang panglima. Iba yung feel nya sa songs ni Suga sa Agust D solo nya.

    Looks like lemmy.world did another stealth update. It only says “BE: 0.18.1” at the bottom now, and apparently it’s mostly performance fixes. The only UI change I noticed is that the mod and OP icons are different.

      It’s interesting how lemmy.world is becoming a primary source for performance monitoring and troubleshooting due to the actual high volume of traffic. And this in turn benefits all lemmy instances.

    I think I’m obsessed. Or is it infatuation? Lol. If I do this long enough with dedication this might become an actual hobby. Bottomline is I can only continue this if I got ✨money✨ hahahaha.

    Once again, I will rethink my decisions in life. I will do it step-by-step and through experience. I really need to develop that control so I don’t panic, and you know, die.

    When I feel fear I just try to keep in mind that specific fear comes from the unknown and ignorance. So, let’s not be ignorant. Don’t be a dumbass and don’t be reckless.

    Tamang hanap lang ng insurance that can cover extreme sports injury during my free time. Calculated risks tho…I will take that.

    Thoughts after CH.123 of the Oshi no Ko manga:

    spoiler

    So many people hating on the potential incest route based on the latest chapter. Why can’t you just be happy that for once a decently popular series might explore a serious incest story? It’s just fiction man and I’m tired of fictional stories ONLY using incest as some comedic trope.

      Actually, knowing Aka Akasaka, he probably is just stirring the audience. But knowing the manga (which is famous for being no-holds-barred on controversial stuff), I also think he’s serious. Honestly I’m kinda puzzled.

      spoiler

      Nonetheless, I like the Oshi No Ko manga very much that the incest route is the least of my worries (honestly, I’m more worried because Akane, Kana, and Mem haven’t appeared in quite some time). I’m worried na nasaksak na sila ni Hikaru Kamiki

    Putanginang Chinabank branch na yun, nag-wangwang pagkatapos kong mag-withdraw sa ATM tapos walang masyadong tao. Siguro na-trigger yun kasi mabilis akong mag-pindot na madalas kon ginawa sa former bank ko (it took me less than a minute to finish one transaction). O siguro, timing lang yun na may bug sa alarm system nila. Napatingin pa ako habang palakad palayo. lol
