Feel free to define “average” how you see fit. This isn’t about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.
There is no stereotypical or average person in any country. It takes a lot of delusional discrimination to pretend there ever could be.
So you’re more SJW than average for your country, got it
If you mean that the average person doesn’t exist in real life then you’re correct, but to claim that what is statistically average cannot be determined, then that’s just a bunch of nonsense.
I’m taller. I’m a man in a female-dominated field (and was in my previous career, as well). I don’t own a car and have no interest in doing so. I know a dead language. I eat beans for breakfast. I don’t drink coffee.
I’m a huge nerd wearing a tinfoil hat:
- owns many computers, all run Linux
- GrapheneOS
- not on social media (other than Lemmy) do not use WhatsApp
- NAS in the leaving room
- 3D printer in the leaving room I pass for normal in social settings until some ask for my WhatsApp or Instagram or what have you.
I’m Texan by birth. I don’t like guns, meat, or driving. I think Mesoamerican history is way more interesting than the Civil War.
I’m better.
That’s an average thinking pattern. People like Einstein tho said he was no different than average other than the effort he put into his work.
That’s true for other people, but I’m built different.
There’s no such thing as “big bones”
There is one. Ask your mom.
I care about my digital privacy
I don’t like sandwiches or burgers
I haven’t posted anything to my personal social media accounts in half a decade.
Similarly, with the popularity of short form video booming, I basically don’t consume any of it and instead find myself watching 1h+ video essays about some old piece of equipment from 40 years ago.
I’m a lot more left-wing than most people I talk to.
I’m tall enough to bang my head on some door frames.
What kind of old equipment videos do you watch? I found that I like old computers after watching Dave Plummer’s pdp11 video’s
If you’ve not come across them here are some of my favourite creators in that category, in no particular order: LGR, 8-bit guy, cathode ray dude, techmoan, technology connections, nostalgia nerd
- I don’t wear plaid or denim
- I’m not a lumberjack
- I’m not wearing a toque (right now)
- I don’t have a (full) beard
- I don’t play hockey (anymore)
I should probably change my username and avatar.
Well, for one, I speak fluent English
Not even close to average.

I am fairly below average, apparently.
I feel like I’m the least Mexican dude in Mexico:
- I don’t drink any alcohol, at all.
- I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
- I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
- I can’t eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
- I don’t watch football at all.
- I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
- I’m not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
- I hate big family gatherings, while it’s a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
- I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I’m far from average.
- I’m not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.
I guess some of the differences are because I’m autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I’m completely average.
I’m autistic.
I care about privacy.
For the life of me, I cannot get people i know to care even a little bit about their privacy when giving it away let’s them scroll TikTok endlessly.
It’s nuts to me. Anyone who doesn’t care about privacy, I want to ask them in person when they last masturbated.
What? What’s the difference? You don’t care if Facebook knows.
I never try. Most people don’t care about privacy until something happens to them.
I’m the type of person who gives money back to a cashier when they make a mistake by incorrectly giving me more money, that’s very rare in the country where I was born.
