For the purposes of this poll please just stick to birth names! I'd like to do another poll for names people chose themselves later in life.

i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something

My friend got me to take this test and now I'm offering it to all of you. I find some of the questions a bit loaded but ah well.

D&D alignment test

Once you've done it, please tell me your results for alignment and class here!

Pushups are the equivalent of benching like 75% of your bodyweight and most people who aren't focused on strength training would have trouble randomly lifting half their bodyweight with no training.

If I was going based on these trainers and was six months into training, lifting 120lbs would be a solid goal for a 3-rep set. Doing a full push-up would have me lifting about 180lbs from the starting position, and doing that ten times with good form is genuinely difficult if you don't regularly train for it.

It's also going to be more difficult for people who are fat, or who are top-heavy, or who are tall.

So "I am not focused on any kind of intensive lifting" is a perfectly valid response and please don't feel bad if you can't do ten push-ups, that shit is hard.

(If you want to train to do push-ups, the higher your hands are in the starting position the less weight you are lifting - start with wall push-ups then move to counter height push-ups then move to bench-height, then bent knee, then full push-ups. If you want to add weight, move your feet up higher and higher until you're doing hand stand push-ups. It's all leverage!)

I am never trusting any of you with directions, holy shit.

one of my favorite gags is when the characters huddle and gossip. these were the only ones I could remember off the top of my head but I think there's more

Dungeon Meshi is a manga about food and friendship.

This does not mean it is a cute slice of life. It treats both these things as sometimes bloody to acquire, difficult to do properly, and absolutely vital to survival.
