oh also shower every other day, use deoderant without shit additives every day, change socks & underwear every day, make your bed instead of letting your mom do it (especially when your room smells like teen spirit), open a window to air out your room everytime before you invite somene over, learn to use a washing machine, learn to floss your teeth, use conditioner after you’ve rinsed your schampoo, learn how to clean the toilet after you & how to wipe yourself in the front (shaking isn’t enough among adults AND shaking excessively can easily damage your tube), trim your nosehair… i could go on with life lessons i’ve gathered that came to mind after reading your post. little details of adult life that are learnt in silence and not really spoken about in media outlets- but that got taught to me by older people and partners having an embarassing conversation about growing up. sucks to learn the hard way, worse to never learn these at all. domestic things regarding hygiene is rarely spoken about, but it’s so friccin interesting to learn about “how to do it right”. especially as a young adult who’ve never been taught to properly take care of yourself. like shaving with a barber’s knife, sewing back buttons and patching holes in clothes.

it may be more big and suspenseful times to live in but these boring hygiene habits apply to adults now since the beginning of the parliamentary society in the 1900s. hygiene is less prevalent in immature adults and more prevalent in mature adults. ik it sucks to do, i have diagnoses of all kinds, but it’s a sign of being a responsible adult to keep hygiene habits.

those cis-men who joke about men being beasts and cavemen aren’t more masculine, just derogatory towards other men’s potential. the manliest man isn’t scared or toothfloss and doing dishes. weaker cowards make up excuses to not take responsibility for their hygiene.

pick up the “analogue bag” trend. none of us older than you approve of the internet today: we had a different place to grow up in online. you will be the happiest and most hopeful person around- others will remember your calm and seek you for comfort.

stop using AI. period. your brain is developing, let it suffer the growing pains of wondering what to draw; of which source of knowledge learn from; how to compose your thoughts. you will be the most intelligent person around- ever increasingly so as years go by.

age old traps checklist: status, whoevers the most popular that moment, flips on the head as you grow up… everyone will Hate how the most popular person behaves now in a few years. be humble if you’re the popular one. at the sane time enjoy yourself: if you wanna indulge, indulge. saying stupid things from your heart is indulging. listening more than you speak is humble. that’s the secret to popularity that lasts beyond school years.

hug all around you. say hi to everyone around you, even those you don’t feel are cool- that you’d get bullied for associating with. that’s all we adults are doing: catching up on hugs and greetings, because it helps our mood and makes us feel meaningful wherever we have to be.

learn an instrument, or an art, or a craft, or a sport.

say no to drugs. period. your brain and body are fully developed when you are 26. then you don’t get as addicted and have an easer time finding a balance between partying and cozying up intimately in a couch. statistically you’ll end up regretful if not abusing drugs or being abused while doing drugs below 26 years old. i can attest. drugs don’t fix problems. they hide and let problems infect other parts of your life.

say no to sex that makes you feel pressured. as a guy i got status from chasing sex at your age, but if fucked me up to only be liked for being attractive. friends who cuddle are more important than acquaintances who fuck. one validates you as a human being and makes you feel seen. the other hollows you out while forcing you to become a person for the sake of others to feel seen.

be outdoors. pet animals. eat vegetables. drink water, not soda. drop food additives like “flavour enhancers” (e621) and aromas (vanilla aroma is made of literal cowdung and fossil fuels.) companies are not your friends: you’re as cattle to the companies, so yeet their brands. wear natural fibres and what you like.

welp i have more but idk if you’d read all

6th extinction…

literaly ceasing to throw 1/3rd of all food into dumpsters and shutting off data centers for AI enables all that budget

“pay respect to your abusive overlord, serf! you were bred in that pigsty and you would be nothing without it! do not try to change the world for others that would be born in pigstys…”

no, rhetoric only meant to motivate by fear turnt around into demotivation: helplessness.

look up Climate Clock to see the exact year.

billions of years for microorganisms and lifeforms to make the big volcanic rock with acidic oceans turn pleasant and habitable. next civiliation occurs closer to the implosion of the sun and has material like plastic in theie periodic table…

to add to this excellent reply: we are drastically losing resources by that very same plastic & pollution & climate change. so this way ahead we lose earth’s capacity to sustain this amount of people, inevitably.

the oligarchs are the richest- every year breaking record wealth in human history- and the least efficient in using that wealth and the most delusional. that Jeff Bezos is intent of living on Mars - a planet without the earth’s abundance. that’s like a noob on easy mode with power leveled allies always helping out in coop asking you trust they can take on the hardest difficulty of a game solo. no track record of success in this world, delusional to think mars isna solution

don’t forget the 1/3rd or sonething of all food harvested and cooked and packaged and shipped that gets thrown into dumpsters that the same billionare’s stolen capital “safeguard” from those impoverished and starving. we could sustain more people by literally not throwing actual food into actual trash.
