Pubs and clubs are declining due to a cultural shift amongst the young. Alcohol isn't cool for the younger generations and a larger cohort of young people can be found in the gym and running around than ever before.

If I was an investing man I'd stick all of my money into Garmin, running shoe companies, gyms and the like.

It looks like this has been hijacked by some edgy online communities.

Is there some sort of overlap between HN and cesspits like 4chan? Or did this get posted elsewhere?

Google Chrome, so maybe to be expected, but 2.6GB is a lot

"There’s something both diffuse and concentrated about reading now; it involves a lot of random words flowing across a screen, while the lurking presence of YouTube, Fortnite, Netflix, and the like insures that, once we’ve begun to read, we must continually choose not to stop."

Ironically straight after reading this was an inline video advertisement, and this page crashes constantly (2.6 GB memory usage for an article?)

I loved the Doctor Who exhibition in Blackpool. Unfortunately it's no longer there!

I think running is attractive because it's one of the most effective sports at burning energy, and it's entry level. Shoes, and some loose clothes.

In the past I've lost weight from a bunch of different sports and running worked the best. It's just the most intense pure sport, without mechanical assistance.
