So your 11pm-2am would be the most apparent active timeframe for Americans. But yesterday could have been an anomaly.

Another note is that there were 110 active users during the peak in activity yesterday.

usually there are about 60-80. It could also be that just a select number of users were contributing the most activity.

Yeah but there's always like 3-10 people actually talking

Also Hi Muffle

or that we had alot of people join recently

But in my experience, it's most active during the American Daytime, which would be your ( @legendpinnen ) 6PM-1AM.

yea

during the day its really unactive here

I think we have a large amount of people outside of the US.

Atleast that's what the active users seem to report.

most i think but alot of the active ones are from the us

@hel whatup man!?!!?

so if its active from the evening to way late in europe and mostly on the day to early night in american time

then its more active during american hours

@hel usually with most groups, only a small percentage of people interact. Like YouTubers for example: usually only 10% of their subscribers contribute via donations and overall engagement.

I think humans are natural lurkers.

i think the initial message is the hardest

atleast thats how it was for me

@legendpinnen could be, but I really think most people are spread out here, so there has definitely been random spikes in activity.

the red pill message?

?

The initial message you're referring to? Are you saying people are lurkers because they are gauging the environment, based on the shock value of the red pill realization?

i got that first part but what d you mean by " based on the shock value of the red pill realization?" ?

When you say the message is the hardest, are you saying that it's hard for people to internalize MGTOW at first, so they lurk in the community to understand the philosophy? Kind of like when a housecat is brought to a new home, it hides immediately for a day or so to gauge it's surroundings.

what are some exercises i could do with dumbbells and a yoga mat?

that could be a part of it but i didnt think that much into it. Just that people are nervous of judgement or being ignored for example and thats why they lurk to kinda read the atmosphere

@hel I wouldn't suggest doing both together. You need a solid foundation when working with weights or you could lose your balance and pull something. That's why gyms tend to have concrete floors or hard mats.

But it depends really on what muscle groups you're trying to build.

and how heavy the dumbbells are.

i mean with light dumbbells

that shouldn't be a problem

Which muscle group?

chest for example

@legendpinnen agreed. I'm an overthinker, but yeah. I think a large amount of people prefer people watching too; maybe just to gather perspectives without contributing.

yea maybe

@hel Hmmm. I can't think of anything you can use a yoga mat and dumbells for when building chest; other than a flat dumbbell press (as if you were on a bench). This would limit your range of motion because the your elbows would hit the floor, but it's a great exercise for starters.

I would suggest skipping the dumbbells and doing diamond pushups on the yoga mat instead.

or standing the dumbbells up and resting your toes on top of them to add a decline element to the pushups. This could add weight resistance, which would increase the intensity of the exercise for better results.

If you were going to do the flat dumbbell press on the mat, you could superset a standard wide press with a close press by bringing the dumbbells together. This would work your inner chest too and activate the triceps as well.

alright thanks for the tips
