Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

5 hours to live the rest of your life day to day.
What if you want to work out? That leaves 3.5 hours. 30 minutes to put together breakfast and dinner. 2.5 hours. Any errands you need to run? House or yard? Family or kids? God forbid you want to take care of yourself at all.
Yeah....their complaints are completely valid.
Because people use the weekend to recover from the week, some of us are chronically ill you know? And are trying not to have another burnout. (Yeah I already had 2 and I’m not even 40, yay capitalism)
I already covered breakfast and dinner mate.
Working out is personal time yes, you are now engaging in extracurricular activities and... what? Complaining you don't have more time for extracurricular activities because you spent your time on extracurricular activities?
You shouldn't need to run errands every single day, if that is happening that's an organizational you problem, figure your shit out better.
I already covered chores. You aren't cleaning your entire house every day, if that is happening once again that is a you problem.
Normal people maybe tops spend 20 minutes tidying per day, with one big day of tidying on weekends for 3 hours or so tops.
If you are spending more than 20 minutes tidying every single day, you need to re-assess how you live your life. Stop being so messy.
Taking care of yourself, spending time with family, enjoying life, all easily fits into 4 hours on weekdays
You then get 2 entire days on weekends to also spend an extra 8 hours+ on personal time.
I dunno what to tell you, stop mowing your yard everyday I guess? You only need to mow every 2-3 weeks?
Like wtf are you talking about lol
Well here's a lot of people's schedules:
8 hours for sleep. 30 minutes to get up and get ready, 30 minutes for breakfast and cleanup, 30 minutes to work, 8 hours work + a 1 hour unpaid lunch, 30 minute drive home, 15 minutes to swap out of work clothes and 1 hour work our plus 15 minutes to get undressed and cleaned up, 30 minutes to make/eat dinner. That's like 2.5 hours for any sort of you time.
If you think 2.5 hours of personal time per day is acceptable, more power to you. Most people don't. Sure, you get the weekend but most people out of chores and errands until then, and you don't really get any sort of necessary downtime.
...that last 2.5 hours quickly disappears when you have any sort of family. The next question becomes, do you think 2.5 hours with your kids and wife is enough time to develop a great relationship?
3.5, why do people work out for an hour and then pretend that didn't count as personal time.
That literally was how you chose to spend your personal time lol. You spent almost a third of your personal time working out, why the fuck do you think you have less...?
3.5hrs of personal time is plenty.
Also even then, you shouldn't be going to the gym every single day
I'm not a gym rat but even I know you are supposed to take breaks every couple days.
People keep bringing things you only do some dats to the table and treating them as something you do every day.
"What about 30 minutes of vacuuming" and stuff lile that. MATE, do you vacuum your house every day?! What in the hell lol
3.5hrs on weekdays and 11.5 hrs on weekends is tonnes of personal time.
Maybe spend less time doom scrolling on Instagram or something, I dunno.
This is just goofy. I'm not going to say your wrong for thinking that 2.5-3.5 hours is remotely acceptable to live a healthy and fulfilling life during the weekday. Many people would disagree with you and would like more time to spend with family, to develop themselves, to disengage from work, to relax, to explore, to learn. I'm not going to fault people for wanting more from life.
I also would love a million dollars.
But everything you mentioned isn't the discussion
It's people going "I don't have time for anything", mate, you do.
Honestly today so many people I know who complain about having zero spare time also are sending me memes on Instagram and shit all the time simultaneously.
Like, I also fuck around on my phone for an hour or two every day.
But at least I don't try and bullshit and pretend that's not what I'm spending my free time on
Like if you complain about not having free time via the act of posting about it on social media you are already kinda outting yourself on where your free time magically went to...
Stop bullshitting, you're doom scrolling on your phone, we all are
The only difference between us is I'm not posting pretending I don't lol
If you really can't figure out how on earth you fit a 20 minute vacuum into your day and post about it on Twitter, can you maybe guess what my first advice is probably gonna be...? >_>;
