There's not gonna be a proper answer that applies to everyone. For myself, riding BMX flatland, riding unicycles, carving wood, learning survival skills, keeping time..

Also, a 1 meter pendulum swings at a rate of once per second. Handy info to know if all the clocks shut down, like in a survivalist situation or natural disaster.

Ah yes, because in an Apocalypse I'm gonna have a 1 meter pendulum handy.

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Anything one meter long swinging on a pivot is a 1 meter pendulum no?

It probably only costs like $10 to get a measured line professionally tattooed on your leg/thigh for reference.

Strength training has such an incredible impact on your overall wellbeing everyone should incorporate it into their routine as much as possible

How do you know if you don't have good mental health? I feel fine almost all the time.

[–] Joshi@aussie.zone 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In much the same way that almost no one has perfect physical health, almost no one has perfect mental health.

You don't need to be a complete wreck to be able to benefit from paying attention to your mental wellness.

Eating well, regular exercise, mindfulness, forgiveness, good sleep practices are all worth practicing whether you feel unwell or not.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

I do those things by default. Only have one body, I like it to be healthy.

As a very stable genius, I completely agree with this.

Chess. I think it's saved my mental health over the last year.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How did you get into playing?

[–] OxidantZero@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

It was on holiday. There was a set at the place we were staying and the kids wanted to know how to play. I knew how the pieces moved, but not a lot else. I started to look up "chess strategies" and things, thinking I might find a few tips. Instead I found an addiction!

2 years later of daily studying and I've finally made it to "beginner" level.

Yeah, totally! The best answer so far!

Only (former) League players will understand.

That is indeed the correct abbreviation

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

But honestly, quiting such a toxic dumpster fire is really relaxing on your nerves.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

You joke, but sometimes I've had a crappy day and just wanna play some ARAMs.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Jigsaw puzzles. Start with a couple of hundreds of pieces and then go with the ones of thousands. Also gardening, but you need to have a garden or enough space to have plants inside your home.

Cocaine and good wine and sex and honesty

[–] tupalos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago
