Nope, chat only works. I am a person who lives like that (social contacts in messengers or IRL, no Facebook, no insta, no TikTok account).
Me and my friend group are all over the world now, because we moved out of Russia (mostly because of war, but there are other cases). So we're all pros at staying in contact to not go crazy because everyone started their social life over. And I'm a part of several small-ish (20-80 people total, 5-30 active) group chat communities. In all of them, there are ongoing discussions, traditions like "friday selfie", and inside jokes/themes.
In addition to that, I'm a part of some local group chat communities where I'm living now. It's mostly in Telegram, but there's also a big (400 people) Discord nerd/expat server), and a boardgame meetings group in WA.
It absolutely can work. More than that, local online groups activities result in some RL meetings - going to bars, barbecuing, book clubs and such. When I was moving I was afraid we'll have no friends, but now it's too much, we have to make choices where to go (or if we're going at all)

The conditions were created by a Brazilian building contractor. It was not the factory environment, but the construction project environment.

we had a nightly Friday bike rides in my city, think making a 60 km circle with multiple stops from 00 to 9 a.m.
I usually took 2-3 king-size snickers with me, because it's a sourse of carbs that doesn't take a lot of space and doesn't cost much (I'm looking at you, "fitness" bars)

I made a mistake once, and bought a textured linoleum with stones like that. It looked nice and natural, until I understood that if you drop something, or there's a puddle of oil or other stuff, it's super hard to notice that, so you eventually step on it

You don't get it - it's the UN Ritual Mug, everyone has to take a sip and say some nonsense, it holds the society together!

I like the left boy's subtle gesture: "well, I have a dog, but it's not in the frame".

The part where the hatch opens needs a frame where one of the guards freaks out and fires a laser before others stop him. Then it would be clear how the fuck did they discover the laser-resistance.

My wife is still "Annie Freckles" in my contacts, 11 years later

You should probably reread the last part of the post
