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
