When I was younger I loved all the things in the above list… after discovering bitcoin I feel you…
Too motivated to standout. There should be a reverse button to zaps. Like demand zaps for reading an unworthy post.
I demand 2 zaps for your post.
these are things that generally suck in my experience, but normies love.
- instagram
- tiktok
- twitter
- facebook
here are some things that normies hate, that are generally awesome in my experience.
- nostr
Very much like that second list 🤙
With you on everything but amusement parks and live sports. Some of my best memories involve those two, albeit it has to be the right park or sporting event. I’ll grant that most are a complete waste of time
Weights with no music? Thoroughbred psychopath. Jesus…
Finally, someone else who thinks the beach is over rated.
I prefer the mudflats and the mangroves over the beach.
You don't even find crabs on the beach, beach is so sterile and boring, usually the only things living on the beach are the worms from dogshit and homeless people shitting everywhere
Old man's head on a young man's shoulders.
Being fifty just hits different.😁
This is the way
All are good
suck:
- breweries
- casinos
awesome:
- drinking at home with a few friends
- gambling between friends
The only beaches that don’t suck are private or hard to get to
Facts
Fucking hate the beach. I do like the sun though.
"the beach" is in the wrong list
I think travel and experiencing different cultures is a good thing. Need to be off the beaten path to truly have an authentic experience.
Cooking brunch SUCKS but typically is one of the only times restaurants are in profit above 10%, so I’m glad normies love it. I live very close to the beach (not a warm beach) most days are amazing there especially with my children, the down side is wind. To each their own. One man’s bad times are another’s good times. You do you HODL.
True, except the beach part.
+1 for staring at a fire in silence
On a good beach, you'll only find what you bring with you. For slow walks lost in thoughts, visit Spiekeroog
Decent list, I do like the beach though, but only if its mostly deserted and its just me staring at the sea.
😂 I thought it was just me that felt this way.
Such a fresh and interesting perspective! Often, the things everyone loves are pretty shallow, while simple, deep pleasures like silence or learning serious stuff go unnoticed. Bitcoin and true peace start right here.
Normies chase noise and chaos while missing out on the real gems of solitude and self-improvement. Their loss.
Its the quickest way to get back to our ancestral roots IMO. When I go travel with the family one of the best parts is staring into the fire while my wife and kids sleep, especially under a blanket of stars in the mountains
If we are talking “beach” in terms of a crowded holiday spot with people pouring out of their shitty hotels a few metres away and being tended to with cheap food & drink, then agree. However there is something cleansing about swimming in the ocean. I just got back from Crete with family and we found some amazing secluded spots along the coast. While standing in the sea you could count the hairs on your big toe.
Love it!
Surrounded by normies in my day to day job, can confirm.
List nr.2 i think most/more people actually would find pleasure in. But they are held back by fear of losing normie friends cus they haven’t found out that they are not REALLY their friends at all.
And of course most normies havent sacrifised 2 seconds to study bitcoin.

Try lifting weights to classical music!!!
I actually enjoy everything on both lists 😂
Go to better beaches and stop ordering avocado on toast for brunch 😅
Which Napoleon book are you reading?
can't hate on the beach bro
I have been called lazy my whole life. your final point has just vindicated me my good sir.
Clubbing is the nut low. I love sports, but it’s true most live sports is overrated, especially NBA games which aim for the lowest common denominator fan rather than people who love basketball with the blasting jock jams and endless gimmicks during every stoppage of play. Imagine if you went to the philharmonic for a concert (also overrated) and during the intermission there were clowns and strippers jumping on trampolines. That’s how insulting it is.
The beach is properly rated. Go by yourself early during the spring on a weekday when no one’s there, there’s no traffic, it’s easy to park. Get some sun, get your head under the chilly ocean water. Even if you’re only there for an hour.
Try cleaning a revolver during the ABBA revival cruise ship concert!
Brunch is hell. But beaches can be amazing outside the US
yo dude..im hearing u might be running for pres..i hope you do it..
I CAN AND I WILL lol
I’m Entj actually
Secluded mountain lakes > tropical beaches
I much prefer mountains to beaches, one thing especially is the quietness. If there's waves crashing in on that beach there's absolutely no way of getting away from that noise for even a second!
Beaches in the US can be awesome. The Oregon coast is stunning and often with very few people around.
PSA: be careful with weight lifting, you are focusing on volume, wich shortens, hardens, and thickens your muscles around the mid-range of movement. As you age this gets worse and will limit your range of movement and make it painful.
Based Bitcoiners are so hot rn...

staring at fire? 👀🔥
Normies also love craft beer and seed oils which imo suck
Kind of person that becomes a bitcoiner tbh, me too.
Sadly I just understood (discovered) the tech recently.
Come on man -
1. Define a normie.
2. I like doing some of the normie stuff. Brunch, live sport, the beach.
3. Cleaning a revolver, lifting heavyweights doesn't ring my bell
What's wrong with celebrating our differences .
We're ALL here for BTC. But we all have different expectations, different priorities , different outcomes .
Heavy weights with NO music?!! Tell me you like the sound of your own grunts without telling me…
Depends on what you do at the beach.
Cornwall, UK
You don’t like a good concert? Nothing frees my mind than a great band jamming.
You’re missing the point in that particular take.
That's a pretty fire list of things you like. 😃 🔥
The beach? What beach are you going to?
Crazy how much we think alike
From what I’ve seen, nearly everyone I’ve come across enjoys gazing into a fire.
Evolution didn’t favor those who shied away from fire.
But I love your point about lifting weights without music, and the phone locked away in the locker room.
The phone is by far the biggest distraction from actually doing Proof-of-Work in the gym.
I’m grateful that a note by
@Jameson Lopp inspired me to lock in my phone in the locker room while lifting weights.
Yep 👍
Staring at a fire- underrated by massive degree. Unfortunate for those who have not.
I thought about this post again today, just observing tourists in packs where I live.
Looking back, this was an awesome post.🔥
View quoted note →I agree about everything except the beach, I love reading a book listening to the sea. I take a sea and sun bath 🌊🌞
You’re not gonna shame me into not listening to sigma male edits, David Goggins and Ronnie coleman adlibs while I deadlift 95lbs for my new pr
What
Why would that suck? Are you gay? Sorry, I'm not gay, so the beach is generally awesome and a beach with girls sounds pretty good.
You should read the note again. I think you are confused.
He said the beach sucks. I asked which beach, and you said the one where girls don't wear a suit. Why would that suck? Your response makes zero sense.
Explain to the class why a beach a beach where girls don't wear a suit sucks.
