Family has never walked 300m
American
I swear yal post/upvote the most normie greentexts. Where’s the crazy off the wall shit?
On 4chan
The crazy ones I’ve posted get downvoted to hell. People seem to equate laughing at Anon with supporting whatever craziness Anon has written.
Lemmy has no chill lol. We might even be more prudish than Reddit. My guess is our demographic skews older so people here don’t care for “dank” content as much.
Almost ever community is way too serious. They need to remove the stick from their ass.
Or just maybe people don’t like going on their social media to be blasted by slurs and porn. Sometimes we just want the funky little guys to post funky little things y’ know
Yeah, lemmy is a strange audience
Downvoted to oblivion or removed.
The potatoes don’t like feeling stupid.
I’m fat and lazy and still love hiking. I’d pull on my hiking boots and join in a heartbeat.
I’m neither and I love hiking but there’s no such thing as a beautiful marshland tbh
Annon’s family is pathetic.
Claims to be in the American wilderness
uses Metric
Unlike with longer distances and temperature, Americans don’t strictly use imperial for shorter distances (m, cm, mm). It’s on all of the signs and stuff, but we learn metric in school as well as how to convert to and from. In university-level physics classes, they almost solely use metric. So as an American myself, I didn’t bat an eye at him using meters. But if they said that it was 30C outside…
Personally know several metric nuts who insist on using metric in their day-to-day life.
“Metric nut” sounds like there’s a measurement to their insanity in the metric system
Some Americans do see sense.
Perhaps lost some.
South Americans.
Every red white and blue blooded American uses the foot!
Well you gotta use both feet if you’re going hiking
JUST ONE FOOT YOU COMMIE
I hate hiking. I just don’t get it, it’s boring
Agreed. I respect nature and it’s beauty but I’ve never understood hiking.
Best I was every personally motivated to do was climb to The old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. 5km round trip. Worth it, but cold, raining and very windy the whole.steep-ass way up and down. My wife went 100m up with me and said “Fuck this” and turned around so I ended up doing it alone.
Sounds like a failure to set good expectations. Sure there are times people just don’t listen, but if everyone else is saying this kind of thing, maybe there’s a common factor…
The best way to find people to go on hikes with is on hikes
I despise 99% of scp but that sounds like a fun idea for one.
You are me. Except my nature hike is nostupidquestions on lemmy. My god these people are potatoes.
Probably conservatives. “Why can’t we just take our trucks to wherever you’re dragging us?”
Bah. I don’t have a car and go to national parks “nearby” (about 100 km) using my bike and one thing that I find unfortunate is the lack of public transit to those places. So usually, what one can find at the bottom of a hiking trail, is a parking full of cars.
It’s not a matter of politics but more about car culture. Like, watch any YT vlogger and most will go to their hiking trails with a car, or even a truck, exclaiming that they love nature.
Personally I have to make compromises when I invite someone hiking and/or camping. That means leaving the bike home and going to the trail or the camp site with a car. It’s unfortunate but it’s just how most people see spending time in nature.
