Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.

Grad school but I can't afford it. Or running but my knees hurt so I got way too into bicycles

If your pedals have power meters, you've gone too far.

I feel like I'm doing the midlife crisis thing wrong. I'm factionless atm. I'm also too tired to have a crisis. My time is spent going to work and trying to survive in a field that is increasingly difficult to survive in.

I'm jealous some people have time and energy to have a full on crisis on the side. You lucky, lucky bastards.

Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? 🤔 Never did pickleball, but that's pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.

As a elder millennial, I am slotted heavily into the running category. Everyday!

What about the stereotype of buying a flashy car? Arguably that’s the one I fell into: spending far more on a car than I ever have to get something flashy and different, and purely thinking of me for what felt like the first time in my life.

What's with the popularity of pickleball these day? What happened to badminton?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 days ago

People won’t stop laughing when you refer to the shuttle-cock.

So now we say “Slap that pickle, Chet!” And no one giggles.

Japan?? Ummm, wut? Damnit... I'm still going.

[–] fluffy@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’m not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. It’s a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. There’s even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)

I fell into running...hard. I went from almost no physical exercise to running marathons over the space of 2 years. Did my first 100km ultra in December.

Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.

[–] Goobersmith@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Fuck. Running.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (3 children)

none, just neutrally observing my fastly declining physical recovery rates and wondering if it will be in the negatives 20 years later

I don't know, running for a lot of us is just having our bodies start breaking down and want to avert that.

Biking fills a similar crisis role, as long as you paid $15K for the bike. Bonus points for removing three of the six chainring screws when you're 50 pounds overweight.

I have done all of these. None of them were a midlife crisis - that was straight fucking.

these are all horrible. where is cosplay at 48?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

My closest one would be running. I started doing 5 minutes a day on an old exercise bike where the computer and thus the resistance motor didn't work in september, gradually adding more time as I got into better shape.

It was when I got a new one that actually works in mid January that I REALLY got going, though, and I've put in 90 hours for a total of 3813 km (2369 miles) since then.

For context, that's more than the straight line distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles or almost the distance between London, England and Gao, Mali.

As far as mid life crises go, that along with eating a lot better ain't so bad 😁

Um, a deep dive into moral philosophy? No academic institutions were attached to it. I just read a lot.
