Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

update your todo list, practice bodily noises, check your calendar for upcoming birthdays, alphabetize your genitals.
If I'm alone, I usually let out whatever farts I have in store. Partially to avoid identifiably stink up the office around my coworkers, and partially as a gift to the next person taking the elevator.
What do you tell the person who comes in before your floor?
"Enjoy! :) "
I rarely travel more than a couple of floors. It's a small building, so chances of being intercepted are low. Besides, I can always pretend like nothing; Remember the famous Benjamin Franklin quote: "He who smelt it dealt it"
Wait, so it takes 90s to move two floors? I'm intrigued. Is it like a super secret underground facility?
No, just a big ass cargo elevator with a long stop time
OP has some ass cargo alright. 💨
My elevator ride takes 90 seconds, I think they're elevator ride takes far less
kegel exercises
I used to play 2048... Nowadays I do sumo squats while waiting for trip to finish
That's an excellent way to spend 90 seconds multiple times a day. Your older future self will thank you.
Stress relief via primal screaming.
Lay on the floor and play dead, watch other people's reactions..
Jump up and down
Personally, I'd get lost in my mind.
I like puzzles, so how about Simon Tatham's Puzzles, website, IOS app port, Android app port
One of my daily puzzle is domino fit, but that might not be enough for the day.
You're looking at it.
usually, catch some sleep
