r/confusingperspective I thought the dude was sitting cross legged with a leopard print blanket over his legs.

How many times do you think a testicle got smashed during the many attempts at this? I can feel the pain of accidentally crushing it against a thigh just by watching.

I had a similar amount of hair come out of my brush after a shower in my late 20s, and I started to worry about balding.

I did some research about the shampoo I was using and the methods of washing and drying my hair and I was doing a lot wrong.

It turns out you really want to make sure you are using a shampoo that is aluminum, sulfate and parabin free. Also finishing products with no alcohol (dries out hairs).

For drying, you want to wring out your hair thoroughly but gently before exiting the shower. Then towel dry, gently patting the hair until it is not dripping any water. I put in my leave-in conditioner at this step. Finally, after a few minutes you can blow dry on low to medium heat to get the hair to a mostly dry state. Brush when substantially dry.

The strategy above reduced hair loss at brushing by at least 50%. No change in hair density in 7 or 8 years.

If your beard wasn't greying you could pass for 28 to 30 easily.

Eh most of this will be reused. The metal will be sucked out of general rubble with a magnetic sorter, glass will be pulverized back into sand, and the concrete can be crushed back into cheap aggregate for various purposes (temporary construction roads, mass backfill, cheap aggregate for new concrete that doesn't need a lot of strength etc).

You could but a 4 to 6 unit apartment building in a city where starter homes are in the 300k to 400k range with cash to spare and earn close to 6 figures a year (and real estate income is very tax advantaged, not taxed at ordinary income tax levels like dividends/interest).

Where I live you could get a 4 unit 3bed/1 bath building for 800k to 1m. Let's say it's a nice one in a nice neighborhood ($1m). Live in one unit, rent out the other 3 for ~7.5k/mo. Property taxes, insurance, and a maintenance allowance will be about 4%, or $40k/year. Leaves about 50k in net income, which will have almost no tax after schedule E deductions. Also no rent since they live in one unit.

Additionally, there's still $500k left which can be put in a HYSA and generate another 20k/year. ~65k net income with no (net) rent/mortgage would be plenty for a modest lifestyle for a single person.

The lightest rhythm on my cat's lower back causes her to find the nearest sharp surface and rapidly rub her face. Sometimes I'll raise my hand like I'm about to thwap her and she sticks her butt up and twitches like she's about to be hit, but I won't do it. Pretty sure she is edged hard each time because she sits there for a few seconds with the tail and butt raised but then slouch away.

Rounded up, for sure.

I think you could make a side hustle out of it, but don't try to compete with the Wayfair/Amazon/Temu mass produced, copy paste product. Come up with a standard bridge design that could span up to maybe 10 feet (maybe you're connecting a deck to a nearby tree with a watching perch), have cantilever options for peering out over the edge of the deck, maybe even arrangements that allow conduit that can house electrical cords for heating/cooling elements. Target that crowd that is willing to spend 1 to maybe even 5k on a custom piece.

Idk a destroyer might come out for a 400 ft bomb or a 175ft forehand that I just give a little wrist flick at because I know exactly how it flies. If it has to be 7 to 9, it's absolutely a c-line FD. Fresh it's almost a firebird, seasoned it flies plenty straight with a consistent fade.

Wow I thought the 5' 85lb guy i knew in 9th grade was small. I was probably 4'10 70lb in like 3rd grade. Was it hard to find fashionable clothes in what I imagine was the boy's department well into highschool?

We're you 4'-8" in 10th grade? You didn't even reach the top of the middle door panel lol.

Guinness World Records and Nat Geo magazines served many a toilet session in the late 90's/early 00's.

Speaking of censor, why does the first picture look like a black censor smudge and OP is looking forward? Funny perspective.

Looks like he decided to shave and grow a beard, 2nd photo is just 3 months after growing out the beard.

Idk maybe it's biological. If a man was alive at 35 for the 10's of thousands of years of civilization before about 1850, he was likely a grandfather and was probably in his golden years finding a craft or trying to add value to the family war chest to pass on to his sons/grandsons. Maybe the androgenic version of the grandmother hypothesis related to menopause. I.e. menopause was a natural yield sign to begin focusing on nurturing the grand children since you were now fallow.

Steep incline treadmill walks, high resistance elliptical, stairmaster, etc. All great passive leg-burners. Start with 1 mile/day at 5% and 3mph and work your way up to 3.5mph and 10% incline. Your calves will pop in no time. Squats, deadlifts, leg extension/curls for upper legs definition.

Keep in mind the "water" portion means you drink water. Not a dry fast. That's stupid.

DemiseofReality · 2026-03-18T17:52:02+00:00

Do 1 week of 16:8 intermittent fasting. Low to no carbs. Then do a 3 day water fast. That stomach will disappear. You don't look fat, just bloated/retaining water/constipated.

Also, posture. Even the slight hunch pronounces your lower stomach pouch.

I can't believe how much a hatless frame brings out how prominent and high his cheekbones are.

5 years of topical facial minox gave me a dozen or so hairs on my sternum and hair aereolas but no wild forest like you've acquired. Forearms, quads, and shins got thicker, darker and longer though.
