What's the most notable difference between you and the other people in your neighborhood?

I'm on Lemmy

Most people around me are significantly less me than me.

I'd be you sometimes if I wasn't so busy being me. Sometimes it might be cool to be you and not me. Even something as benign as the way your mouth feels when closed,

do your teeth line up better than mine? Or have you developed a weird way for your jaw to rest due to clipping teeth if you're not careful.

Anyways I think it's my turn to report in on the huddle so bye

The street address?

I live in my house, they don't.

Compared to them, I'm broke. My street has 1.8mil+ houses on it. We got a super good deal on this place, it's getting leased to us at cost.

We have to drive 10 minutes away to go grocery shopping. Not that there aren't stores around here, but who wants to pay $8.39 for a box of organic hippy brand cereal?

I'm normal /s

It is so brave of you to share your struggle with that horrible affliction with us here.
I'm weird. No sacaram intended.

They're middle-aged, while I'm... blessed with experience.

I'm... blessed with experience.

... Approaching 60 BTW

They're conservative Christians and I'm a socialist atheist 🤷‍♂️

I live in my house, they live in theirs.

Maybe you should try living in theirs

Don't really know, I've never talked to any of them.

I'm a foreigner. Most aren't. I work from home. Most don't. I drink kava everyday. I doubt anybody else does.

nothing. I am a very ordinary earthling in a very ordinary and nondescript living area. Everything is very very typical and does not stand out at all.

And I walk with my human legs. Nothing to see here.

I don't own a car

I think we're the only middle aged couple with no kids on this street and adjacent ones. Every couple I've seen even remotely near our age when we walk our dog either has children or a pram.

Did try to make friends with some new neighbours a while back that were roughly our age. Very friendly first chat, they were both enthusiastic about greeting us - they approached us first.

The first thing they asked was whether we had children, when we said no they were visibly disappointed and seemed to lack interest in furthering the conversation.

My NZ accent

I'm the only one not buying or selling drugs

Have you considered trying to be a market disruptor by leasing drugs?
In contrast, I'm doing the most drugs.

I ride a bike as my primary form of transit.

My neighbors come in two main flavors: they're all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I'm just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!
