Has anyone seen a really big version of a swing designed for grown-ups? I'm wondering if a longer chain might be a little more thrilling for adults.

There is a good flow chart for your dating life made by a specific YouTuber which I found highly effective. It can be found by searching YouTube for "wheat waffles flow chart"
This is fascinating!

Everyone is producing TV shows now. There are 'Amazon Mini Shorts' on my Amazon app, Swiggy and Zomato - two food delivery apps - also have their own shows. It's an explosion of content and I can't fathom who in the world is watching all of it. Or any of it.

I so do not want to click on this link in case there are pictures. I really do not want to see what this looks like.
Are there pictures?
I'm with you. These kind of images stay with me forever, particularly at 4 o'clock in the morning.

Sorry to be that guy, but is there a text-only way to read this article? I just can't handle the images, they're haunting me.

About two years ago I decided that it was time to get a smart watch. I’m a developer, I’m a geek, I love my smart phone — a smart watch is the perfect accessory, right?
Well, actually it’s not. After spending quite a lot of time looking at the different options out there, I realised that a smart watch is a dumb purchase: it’s another computer with a 3-year lifespan, but a price tag like a luxury watch.
So I ended up buying some automatic watches instead. They’re less expensive and sharper-looking.
After looking at the watches shown off in this article: I made the right call. I’m fairly certain that in a decade we’re going to look back on smart watches the way we do digital watches: as an odd fad that noöne will be able to explain later on.
I bought an Apple Watch last fall in what I assumed was a silly, tech-geek pursuit of getting in shape. Surprisingly, the Activity app (the one with the rings) has completely transformed my body. I know all the tricks it's using to motivate me, but damn it, it works. I make sure to close my rings every single day and it shows: I've lost weight, gained noticeable muscle, and went down a notch in my belt. Oh, and I've heard it also tells time.

My first girlfriend really had her act together financially and got me setup on something like this 15 years ago. I thank her for it to this day, but this looks so much nicer as an app than my hand rolled Excel spreadsheets based on her advice!
You should try it out, I'd love to know if it works as well for you as the spreadsheet version you're using!
to you too
See ya in MV!
good luck, everyone!
