A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Workout - Straining muscles just a little to encourage growth.

Chilling - No stress, no strain, everything kinda stays the same. But still have daily life strain, gravity, etc.

Pigging Out - Carbs, Carbs, no protein at all! Might encourage faster muscle degradation as the body isn't using ketones, so muscles could get metabolized faster

Space - Low gravity environments destroy muscles aggressively!

So I would posit - Spacing out is the opposite of Working out, and Pigging Out is a modifier bonus action.

I think OP was going for the more literal "work" vs "chill", and "out" vs "in"

Chilling - No stress, no strain, everything kinda stays the same.

Fun fact - Chilling is a part of a workout. Post workout, we have to chill otherwise the muscles can't recover and become stronger.
