I don't get the grind mindset at all - look at me! Be like me! Bust ass 24/7, hustle hustle hustle, sleep is for losers, carbs are for losers, relationships that aren't profitable are for losers...... it's all worth it though so you can be on vacation in some exotic place like me!!!........... (and not even be able to put work down for one second to enjoy your fucking drink and be oblivious of the views you worked for) Like who thinks this sounds awesome except 15 year old boys?

Relevant song from 2007, Hussel by M.I.A.:

We do it cheap hide our money in a heap
Send it home and make em study
Fixing teeth, I got family, a friend in need
A hand to throw the gasoline
A mobile phone hooked up to the scene
Hello my frind yes it's me
Dont be scared there's somethin going on
Im gettin money since I grown
Could be dash go out and hussel em
But I hate money coz it makes me numb

Hussel hussel hussel
Grind grind grind

[AFRIKAN BOY]
You think its tough now,
Come to africa,
Out there we are grinding like pepper,
You can catch me on the motorway,
Selling sugar water and pepper,
I rep Africa not Miami,
Hustle hustle with m.i.a,
I'm broke I've got indefinite stay,
You can't touch me like leprosy,
I hustle tough from here to sri lanka,
My mum told me to be an accountant,
Bun that I wanna work in a corner shop,
Contact sugu he's got the contacts mayne,
I'm illegal I don't pay tax tax,
EMA yes I'm claiming that that,
Police I try to avoid them,
They catch me hustling they say deport them,

Hello my friend, hello my friend

Up some jungle up some tree

Now it'll be in my head all morning lol

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That’s literally the target demographic. You answered your own question.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

5 years ago I would have agreed with you but I now know several adult men in this sphere...

[–] CainTheLongshot@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some would argue they are still 15yo boys in mindset.

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Ha! I stopped at 12 and avoided that shit.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Mentally speaking…

[–] radix@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Awww, they're growing up!

Last I heard, everyone is twelve.

Fuck, that knowyourmeme page has some funny examples

carbs are for losers

No one who actually works out properly say this, it's the exact opposite. You need a ton of carbs if you work out

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Idk, I work out a lot and have done pretty well on low carb. I would gas if I did, like, a crossfit workout. But my top end power and all day endurance were the same or better, and I had some really cut abs.

For myself, I found there was really no downside. Except no beer and pizza. So not worth it.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like you are a beginner or intermediate and never did a real bulk before. Once you reach a certain FFMI you can't really build more muscle mass without carbs

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I've certainly never done a real bulk before. But I mostly train for strength, not hypertrophy, since my goal is rock climbing, not bodybuilding. So my reps in any of the big lifts have almost never gone over about 5

Andrew Tate basically crystalized this whole thing... by pretending he was Morpheus from the Matrix.

His solution to 'escape the Matrix'... was to be the most diehard bluepill imaginable.

Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

to be the most diehard bluepill imaginable

[–] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

The low quality of this gif combined with me never watching the Matrix left me confused for a little bit

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Pretending they're Morpheus when they're all just Cyphers.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you kidding me? There's hundreds of young men everywhere that have no idea how to use a laptop or cigars, but love pools and fancy drinks. This is perfect for them.

rich people are not special

What did carbs ever do to them? Those are necessary macronutrients and a good source of fast energy.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’m not team low carb but it is the one macronutrient you don’t need. But you feel like shit without them. So

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 3 points 1 day ago

Fair point, fats can easily replace it, but it still is rather useful for when quick bursts of energy are needed and the feeling part as well.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been low crab for a while now. Shit's expensive.

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

How come carbs are expensive?
Dried goods(pasta, rice, buckwheat, oats) and vegetables(potatoes, carrots) are one of the cheapest foods available. Potatoes being one of the most satiating foods as well.

Dont get me wrong, im not criticizing your choice. Just curious over the reasoning behind it.

[–] TheBenCommandments 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe they meant to say that being low carb is expensive because all they buy is protein?

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Fair point, that would make more sense.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I meant to say crabs 🦀 are expensive. I would eat them every day but that is an expensive hobby around here.

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 1 points 2 hours ago

I totally misread that one. Sry my bad.
