How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country? (lemm.ee)

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.

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
