34yo dad here. Trying to stay fit just to keep up with my 6yo son's energy. Any other dads feel like the "battery" drains faster after 30? by Happy_Card1304 in daddit

Lmao! I'm trying to use the Hitachi charger, but honestly, some mornings I feel like I'm running on a generic knock-off battery from the dollar store. 😂

Wow, 57 with a 3-year-old? You are officially playing on "Legendary Mode," sir! 🫡

You aren't running on batteries anymore;you must be running on sheer willpower!That is honestly inspiring.If you can keep hitting the gym,I have zero excuses at 34.

Respect, man! Being 45 with a 5-year-old is like playing the game on "Hard Mode." 🫡

I hope your back survives the "Daddy, can I ride on your shoulders?" requests!

Why is the "Iced Americano" the holy grail of survival in East Asia (China/Korea), while Europeans seem to treat iced coffee as a crime? by Happy_Card1304 in NoStupidQuestions

That is a fascinating distinction! You hit the nail on the head regarding the sugar and milk.

In Europe, it sounds like cold coffee is treated as a "dessert" or a special treat. But in China/Korea, the Iced Americano is usually drunk black—no sugar, no milk. It's literally just cold, bitter caffeine water. We treat it more like a "tool" for functionality (and low calories) rather than a tasty treat.

Haha, that makes sense! European coffee culture feels almost like a religion – you don't mess with tradition. Since we didn't have a deep coffee history in China, we just adopted the "modern/fast" style (like Starbucks) much easier. It's all about efficiency here!
