Hey there, happy 30 !!!

For context, I'm on the other side of the scale: barely 25 and a skeletal build that only sweet, sweet depression can give you. Truly hoping that soon enough we'll accurately recreate this meme 🀝

As I feel quite anxious going to a gym, not many pointers on that direction. For doing something at home... can you do squats?

I bought a kit of stretch bands (Amazon πŸ‡§πŸ‡· link) to start building some resistance both for legs and arms. It included a little booklet of what exercises you could do with each item. As a starter, I cycle between any 4 of them, doing 10 reps each time.

I find it natural that only oneself (let it be weight, resistance, etc.) can be used as their own measure; please assess and adapt this to you.


Rather than a how-to input, I'd like to address why do it? And not just once but consistently (?!). Because at times, doing it just for the sake of it dries up the motivation. So, what fun goals do you want to achieve with movement?

In my case, these are the ultimate goals fill me with determination (and goblin energy):

Mainly, not only be done with the exercise sessions, but reap the benefits of that strength and flexibility in your day-to-day life.

Be feral.


Congrats on the beard, too! :)

Using the first entry for steal on the English wiktionary:

To take illegally, or without the owner's permission, something owned by someone else without intending to return it.

So, if you can't actually own stuff, you can't (by definition) steal it.

I get your point, and this more of an ^AcKsHuALly^ type of argument, but it's an fun way of begging the question of what "I own this" means in today's society.

The easiest to grasp at a glance is Upvotes/Downvotes.

Though I understand how Score + Upvote% would be useful, percentages are impactful when there's more than 100 reactions (which is uncommon).

I love this being a reply instead of an edit, ha.

Thanks for laying out what calculations would be needed, and why it may be a little harder to parse for a layperson.

thought about it, too!

(and... not sure if it's Jerboa, but the image appears emoji-sized to me. a bite-sized comic, hehe)

Agreed. It's a deal breaker.

It takes out of the equation how many people actually interacted with it at first glance.

Edit: The 10% downvote is the most reasonable of the bunch. Please let it be configurable.
